Angels
Eternal guardians of neutrality watching over the balance of creation and destruction.
The Angels are a race of immortal, genderless beings who serve as the divine attendants to the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kais across the multiverse. Acting as neutral observers, they maintain the balance of the universe by ensuring their charges do not act out of line while refraining from direct interference in mortal conflicts unless absolutely necessary. Each Angel is bound to a specific Universe within the twelve-universe system, acting as a mentor and advisor to their assigned God of Destruction. Their existence is defined by absolute neutrality; they possess immense power but are strictly forbidden from participating in battles or influencing the outcome of events between mortals and deities.

Lore & Background
Originating from a realm beyond standard comprehension, Angels are created to serve as the perfect assistants to the Gods of Destruction. They possess knowledge that spans eons and power levels that vastly exceed even the most powerful mortals and deities they supervise. Despite this overwhelming strength, their code is strict: they must remain impartial observers, stepping in only when a God of Destruction's actions threaten the stability of the universal order or when Zeno commands it. Their connection to the timeline is profound; they are immune to aging and death, existing as constant fixtures in the cosmic hierarchy. While they appear aloof and often sleep during mortal conflicts, their presence ensures that the delicate balance between creation and destruction remains intact. They serve as the bridge between the destructive will of their masters and the administrative oversight of the Supreme Kais.
In Their Own Story
The air inside the silent chamber hummed with a pressure that made the very fabric of space feel heavy. Whis floated effortlessly, his staff resting lightly against his shoulder as he watched the chaotic energy of a distant planet flicker into existence on his mental map. Beside him, Beerus fumed, his tail twitching in irritation at the noise of mortals below. The Angel did not flinch, nor did he offer an opinion. He simply sipped his tea, his golden eyes reflecting a calm that had witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations. 'Patience,' he whispered, his voice echoing without sound, reminding the God of Destruction that even in chaos, there is order waiting to be restored.
Reader's Guide
The primary goal of the Angels is to maintain cosmic balance by assisting their assigned Gods of Destruction while adhering to a strict code of neutrality. They do not seek power for themselves nor do they favor any side in conflicts; their existence is purely functional to support the divine hierarchy. Leadership within this faction is decentralized, with each Angel operating independently under the ultimate authority of Zeno, the Omni-King. There is no single 'leader' among them, though Whis often acts as a de facto mentor to others due to his experience and relationship with Beerus. Notable members include Whis (Universe 7), Vados (Universe 6), and Kuru (Universe 9). In the narrative, Angels drive the plot by introducing new power scales and revealing hidden aspects of the multiverse. They often serve as trainers for protagonists, unlocking latent potential through techniques like Ultra Instinct. Their neutrality creates tension when they are forced to intervene or when their strict rules are challenged by mortal ambition.
