In the book and life we see the God as the main power, the ruler of the heaven and Earth, creator of all creatures.

According to Christians the Holy Spirit is the creature through whom the Old and New Testament were written. Also, Testaments are the only sources from which the author can perform correctly. Nothing much can be said about Holy Spirit as the character. What we all know it is the third part of the...
Sin is Satan’s daughter. It appeared first from the head of the devil when he still was in Heaven. Later in the book Satan rapes her, and that’s how the Death appeared. They three form something like the unholy trinity in contrast to God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. What is the form...
It is the son of Satan and Sin. He appeared after Satan raped Sin. Death is a dark, gigantic form that guards the gates of hell with Sin. Later Death takes it to turn and rapes his mother, which caused that a lot of poor creatures appeared from the Sin’s lower half. The relations between...

Eva is the first created woman. She is the mother of all humanity. Eve is rather a changeable and empty woman. What’s more, she was easily convinced by Satan when he comes to her. Her weaknesses are the main reason for their falling, when she disobeyed the God. She also loves Adam very much...
He is archangel in the heaven. He is very gentle. Exactly he helps Adam all the time; he even warns Adam of the dangers in the Garden. Raphael is a wise guide and appears as a luminous, soft being. Raphael is traditionally seen as a friendly and sociable angel and, in fact, sits down to eat with...
General in God's army. In contrast to Raphael, Michael is a strict and military type of angel. He seems to be more like a punisher or instructor than a friend or guide. He and Gabriel are sent to fight with devil’s forces in the war which was in heaven. They were fighting till the...
Well, Gabriel is one archangel from the part of the good ones. The character is very important though he isn’t dynamic. He is strong and kind. He is a general in God’s army. In the book, he is sent to lead forces of Good ones in the battle. With a squadron of angel soldiers, he later...
This character is very and very courageous. Why? When the first war comes, he was the only one who stood up in the middle of evil and used words to battle it. He seems to be very kind and good-hearted as he thinks he could do that. He is praised and known as being more fearless than anyone else...
Mammon is a fallen angel. Mammon always walks humped, as if he is searching something on the ground for all the time. He is an absolute “compromiser”, and, though his compromise is illogical and irrational, the crowd loves him. In the Bible, he is known as the personification of the...
Moloch is another fallen angel. He is an authoritarian military angel, so it’s obvious that he appears as one of the generals of Satan’s army. Probably he is described as a full contrast to Michael. This fallen angel would rather fight and lose battles than stay behind looking at it...
Belial is one of the main devils in Hell. The only reason he argues against future war with Heaven is that he is a huge and real implementation of laziness and passivity. His oratory and learning skills are great, and he can persuade many of the devils with all his thought even the false ones. He...
