Charles Four Rivers

Even before Satan’s rebellion, the angel who would eventually take the name Charles Four Rivers was possessed of a terrible curiosity. Created as a recording angel, he bent himself to the task of denoting the thoughts and deeds of men, as God commanded, but he could never find an entirely comfortable position in his work. He was meant to be content with what; he couldn’t stop himself from wondering why. Those questions proved troublesome, of course, as questions from angels always do, and when he finally crossed the border between observer of human nature and participant in human history, his own fall from divine grace was all but assured. Too clever to serve in heaven but too wholesome to languish in hell, he found himself trapped in the liminal spaces of reality. Never is hardly the worst place for a mostly-fallen angel to end up, and the human guise he’s chosen lets him use the skills God granted him at the universe’s inception.
