Archon

An Archon (Chinese: 统治者 Tǒngzhìzhě, Ruler), is an entity created by the Demiurge as an attempt to create an army to emulate God's angels. Unlike angels, however, an Archon is still bound by space and time and has emotions, as well as an unlimited level of free will, allowing them to disobey her.

Appearance

In their human forms, Archon are indistinguishable from human women. They can also take the form of objects, with Chesed, Gevurah, and Keter becoming a hammer, a gun, and a crown respectively.

History

Birth

Each Archon was created to preside over a certain aspect. Chesed was to pour the Demiurge's love into the creation of new Universes and was thus the Archon of creation. Gevurah was to be the Demiurge's enforcer. She was created to punish those who go against the Demiurge's will and was the Archon of destruction. Keter was created to act on her behalf when she was unavailable, and was appointed as the Archon of dominion. Together, the three carried out their duties as their mother retreated to consider her next course of action.

Betrayal

Keter's loyalty to the Demiurge began to waver as she watched all the suffering caused by the false god. She began to question her place in the multiverse. One night, she was visited by an angel in the form of an owl when she reflected on it. The angel showed her the circumstances of her creation and the history of the Demiurge, confirming her doubts. With her newfound understanding, she left for the Primordial Sea to share it with her "sister" Chesed.

Chesed listened to Keter, but at the end of their conversation, opted to continue serving the Demiurge. While she was distraught enough to shed tears that her beloved creations were in pain, she was sceptical of the angel and its message, and maintained that even if it was true, the ghosts of Earth are responsible for their own problems as she only created universes and did not involve herself in the lives of their residents, and that even if she did rebel against the Demiurge, she did not think the two of them could win against such a powerful entity, let alone change how things are if they won. Disappointed in Chesed's response, Keter left to find Gevurah.

Gevurah was standing at the edge of the Multiverse when Keter visited her to deliver the news. She branded Keter a traitor, as anything other than complete submission to the Demiruge for an Archon was dangerous to the order the false god has imposed on the multiverse.
