Angels - His Dark Materials Glossary | OpenFiction
Angels
Group
Beings of pure consciousness, formed from Dust over aeons. Angels are not supernatural in the traditional sense but are a natural consequence of Dust's tendency toward self-awareness. They have varying degrees of power and visibility - some can barely be seen, while others like Metatron (the Regent of Heaven) are immensely powerful. The angel Balthamos and his companion Baruch assist Will Parry. The Authority, the oldest angel, allowed younger angels to believe he was the Creator.
