Fallen Angel Faction
Fallen from grace, they watch humanity's chaos with wings of darkness and a thirst for knowledge.
The Fallen Angels are a distinct faction within the supernatural hierarchy of the High School DxD universe, originating from angels who were cast out of Heaven. In the series, they are one of the three main factions—alongside angels and devils—that comprise part of the student population at Kuoh Academy. A fallen angel named Raynare, disguised as a girl named Yuma Amano, asks Issei Hyodo on a date and then reveals herself, attempting to kill him. The fallen angels are shown to be dangerous to Issei's deepening relationship with Rias Gremory, as that relationship proves dangerous to the angels, the fallen angels, and the devils alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of the Fallen Angels?
Their core role involves monitoring human potential and instigating conflicts to accelerate evolution without direct divine interference. They act as nomadic agents who exist outside traditional territorial claims held by Heaven or Hell.
How do Fallen Angels differ from Devils or Angels?
They are distinct because they possess no inherent territory and were cast out of Heaven for their curiosity about humanity rather than pure sin. Their unique power stems from the Wings of Darkness, which grants them versatile abilities compared to standard angelic or demonic powers.

Initially appearing as antagonists, they eventually become crucial allies to the Devils during major conflicts like the Great War. Azazel's leadership ensures their continued active participation in maintaining the balance between supernatural factions.
