Historical Data

Not surprisingly, the English word angel comes from the Latin word angelus, which comes directly from the Greek word ángelos, meaning “Messenger.” In the New Testament, angels appear frequently as the messengers of God and the agents of revelation to Joseph, Mary, Jesus and Peter (in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark and the Acts of the Apostles); and Jesus speaks of angels as fulfilling such functions in the Gospel of Mark.

Amtgard Description

The Messenger Angel serves a dual role as both scout and warrior in the War of Souls. These angels appear as beautiful winged humaniods swathed in white cloth and radiant light. Messengers are quick-witted, highly intelligent, and often let conversation get the better of time. Messengers perform their function with an unflagging zeal and hopeful enthusiasm seen in few Angelicals. In fact, most angels of higher powers view Messengers as flighty, overtalkative and scarcely worthy of being called angels at all. Mortals, on the other hand, find Messengers quiet[sic] pleasant and have been known to while away hours in simple visitation.
