The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)We saw the Nephilim there. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them. (Numbers 13:33)
In
the past, the children of angels and humans, the Nephilim, were allowed to lead
their lives as they willed. But they
proved too strong, too ambitious, and too cunning for their own good. They became warlords, conquerors and
emperors, causing war and strife until the Throne stepped in and forced them to
submit to Its will, or die. Unlike most
of her fellows, Del, one of the first Nephilim, had no interest in conquest and
domination. In the ancient past, prior
to the Throne’s interdiction, she met and fell in love with Dami, a
Mediterranean ship captain and trader.
Together, they faced down pirates and storms and tried create a future
together. In the present, two-thousand years later, Del unwillingly works for
the Throne, obeying the commands of the angel Ahadiel. She helps to keep the world safe from the
horrors of escaped demons. At the same
time, she keeps herself in the Throne’s good graces. Whenever a rogue demon breaks free from Hell,
she and her partner, Marrin, another Nephilim, work together to banish it.
