My name is Shadow or at least that is the name that I go by now... I used to be known as the shadow of god but since that time I have become part of the fallen...
I have three forms in which I have presented myself at different times during my life...
My first form is my Angelic pure form and in this form
I appear as a shadowy robed figure. I am semi-transparent, though this is barely noticeable unless one takes a real close look at me. My features are shrouded in just enough shadow that they cannot be made out, no matter what angle I stand at, nor how much light is shone on me. At my side, I carry a sheathed sword which no one has ever seen me draw, Around my neck dangles a book, the inside of which no angel has ever set eyes upon. Neither the book nor the sword were present on my fall, and only appeared a few years after, which has caused much speculation amongst both angels and demons alike.
In my Angelic perfect form, I appear as a cloaked, hooded, and armored human figure. I stand at around 6'0", looking over the average human. My cloak is pitch black, and ripped and torn at the bottom. My face is covered by an armored mask, with matching armor covering my chest. My hands and forearms are clad in gauntlets, and bound in black leather. A great belt wraps around my waist, with a large, bronze colored buckle across the front. The sword remains sheathed at my side, the long blade still has not been seen in use, even in this form. The book also makes a reappearance, usually held in one of my hands, or, rarely, slung on a strap over my shoulder. Again, neither of these two items were present until a slight time after my Fall, and are treated with great suspicion.
Any who gaze on this form can sense sorrow and despair. Despite my sinister appearance, innocent mortals who gaze upon it feel peace and safety rather than fear or terror.
In my human form, I appear as a average size human male, standing at 5'8". While I wears suits when dealing with other angels and demons, I favor more casual clothing during my daily life. When needing to go extremely undercover, and when doing my daily job, I wear military gear, BDU's and armor, and I don a black beret that has become something of a trademark. The book is kept in a pocket in my combat webbing, while my sword is kept at my side in a scabbard.
My personality
In my human form, I am a joker. My manner is jovial, and I tend to crack jokes whenever I can. Sarcasm is one of my favorite ways to produce humor, as are puns, and the occasional sexual innuendo. I tries my best to get along with other angels and demons, despite knowing that his history has led him to become a pariah in the eyes of his angelic brothers, and untrusted by a few of the Fallen.
In my perfect form, my personality is the total opposite of my humorous and light-hearted human form. I never speak in this form. I am unusually helpful for a member of the Fallen, however, this is justified by the reason for my Fall. I am usually found leading the defenseless to safety, bringing the injured to healing, and the lost to their destinations.
On the other hand, I can be utterly spiteful and twisted, leading seemingly random people to their deaths. Most of these people are extreme sinners, though others seem to be nothing more than innocent bystanders.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths:
Shadow Walking. (I can disapear into a shadow, only to reappear instantly at another shadow. However, I can only use this ability if I can see my intended destination.
Enhanced Senses. Even compared to other angelic beings, I have overdeveloped senses, due to my being a Watcher.
Leadership. I was once the 13th leader of the two hundred fallen Watchers. I commanded the ten angels under my leadership with great skill, and ensured they were successful when fulfilling their functions.
Intelligence. While a greater angel overpowers me when sheer power is the only thing in play, I can hold his own against even high level warrior angels, through my above average intelligence. I have studied the art of war, and know many of the techniques employed by combatants.
Weaknesses:
Light.
Concentrated light can render me nearly defenseless. I can walk through sunlight without being hindered, while spotlights, angelic light, etc, can harm me.
Love.
Love was the reason I fell into this mess, the reason I fell from grace. Humanity has enthralled me since the beginning of my existence, and I have fallen for mortal women on a few known occasions.
