The Unfallen, Kiriel's name for the angels who stayed loyal to God and are with Him in heaven. They are not portrayed with traditional wings-and-harp imagery, but as messengers in a vast heavenly bureaucracy that is a mirror image of the hellish bureaucracy below. The world of The Unfallen is one of clockwork, where things move according to a hidden cosmic plan—a plan that does, however, include miraculous interventions such as that orchestrated by Kiriel when he repossesses the body of Shaun Simmons.
