Scourges

The House of Asharu, also known by their modern sobriquet Scourges, are former guardian angels who rebelled against God and were banished into the Abyss in Demon: The Fallen. Many of the Asharu turned because of frustration reflected onto them by their human charges. Most Scourges served as spies or scouts in the Rebellion because of their speed and gained great respect for it. Still carrying their honored reputation, the Scourges continue to watch over the world, even as they seem to work toward destroying it.

At the Fall, the Asharu were the sixth House to come before Adam and Eve; their representative Nazriel brought the two a feeling of calmness and serenity, to keep them from being overwhelmed by the gifts of the other Elohim.  

The curse that followed was perhaps the most cruel of any given to the fallen; humans were stripped of their immortality. Therefore, no matter how hard an Asharu worked to save someone they loved, eventually, that person would meet an end and fall under the sway of the Slayers.
