#manadel

Once again I love redrawing Hark a Vagrant comics with OCs.

Some of my friends I play Darktide with have been so kind as to sort of RP with their vets respecting Caiphus's status as a commissar and it tickles me. So here he is preparing some of them for the mission ahead.

Vets shown: Manadel, Blonthe, Ace ( @hakbot ) , and gUN ( @mininuked )

Okay so bear with me here, I just did a little google spiral about this. And because this is google I could very well be wrong- people with Actual Biblical Knowledge, feel free to correct me!

But according to google, the Shem Hamephorash (the heavenly version of the Goetias) actually each have a specific member of the Goetia they're mirroring, and you can look this stuff up. Paimon, for example, has someone called Haziel. Asmodeus has Vasariah. I dunno who these people are exactly, they're supposed to "rule over" the demons somehow, but for the hell of it I checked if Stolas was on the list, and he is.

Stolas's counterpart is called Manadel. I'm just gonna quote the wiki page on this, because it's funny. "Manadel helps one keep their employment and maintain their means of livelihood. Serves against disasters and delivers prisoners. Astrologically, this spirit signifies inner and outer work. This angel gives light to distant people who have received no news for a long time. Will bring exiles back to their native land, and uncover lost or stolen belongings." (Link)

So like. Manadel is basically against everything that's ever happened to Stolas, ever. He lost his job. He lost his family. He's been exiled. HIS SHIT WAS LITERALLY JUST JACKED FROM HIM. That's all shit Manadel apparently hates.
