Cassiel

"You see, there is no higher duty for us angels than protecting God's handiwork. It's what we are, what we're meant to be. I think your previously-fallen friend needs to know that."

- Cassiel, when asked on her role as an angel.

Cassiel, often shortened to Cass by mortals, is a powerful angel and Dominion who acted as Raynare's temporary replacement for much of the Canon Events Arc.

Eons ago, Cassiel was one of the one hundred million angels created by God to serve Him and populate his new domain. She was created as a Dominion of Heaven, a lord of angels, and served under the Archangel Metatron as one of the many higher-ranked bureaucrats that assisted in the administration of Heaven. During the Great War, she remained loyal to Heaven, and fought for Heaven during the Great War, becoming one of its most experienced and decorated commanders. Following the Great War, she served once more in her bureaucratic post, this time, however, under Raguel, who had become Chancellor of Heaven in Metatron's absence.

After Raynare was promoted to the status of Dominion, she was in turn placed on "administrative review" by the Archangels after her administration of the Moon Department failed to be competent. In turn, the Archangels recognized the need to have a Dominion watching Ddraig, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and as a result Cassiel was dispatched to the Earth to fulfill Raynare's role while the latter was absent.

While on Earth, Cassiel became known as "Raynare's Temp," and became the ORC's angelic chaperone through most of the Canon Events Arc, using her immense angelic power to greatly assist the ORC in battling those who would threaten human and supernatural security (secretly, of course, since the lot of them were all under house arrest at the time). Over time, Cassiel slowly adopted social skills and normalized to mortal society, which made her somewhat reluctant to ascend back to Heaven when Raynare returned from her administrative leave.

Cassiel also has a greater role in Stopping the Apocalypse, but that's a story from another time.

Appearance
Like all angels, Cassiel's true form is pure light. In her mortal form, Cassiel appears as a fairly tall and rather well-endowed woman. She has purple-blue eyes and long black hair that extends down to her thighs, sticking out at her neck and falling over her shoulders. She wears a white short-collared trenchcoat, a black vest, and black pants with a long brown belt. She wears a dress shirt underneath her vest which is complemented with a loosely worn maroon tie.

Her appearance is said to have inspired the creation of the fictional character Castiel on the CW's Supernatural.

Personality
Like most angels,
