Thank you so much for reading and for your question! Really op, your question made my day, I’ve been grinning like a fool since this morning!

Efrem and Ezekiel aren’t technically nephilim because their mother isn’t human. She’s a lovely demon woman (her name is Stena) who had a brief fling with the archangel Uriel in the fall of 1307, and, well, you know the rest. The line about not belonging to heaven or hell is because Ef and ‘Zekiel have both celestial and infernal blood, but it was pretty evenly split between them, where Ezekiel’s nature leans more toward the celestial, and Ef’s FAR more toward the infernal, so while technically Ezekiel “belongs” in Heaven, Efrem would be an outcast.

I had this lore about angels not being able to sire children, with the exception of Uriel due to his past ahh specialty, which makes Efrem and Ezekiel a special case, but it’s not something that Uriel would have discussed with his kids, so it’s not something that Ezekiel ever brings up.

I do have a character who’s a nephil, a little half brother of Ef and ‘Zekiel, but I’m not sure if I will ever do anything with him or whether he’ll be a part of Raguel’s story instead. (His name is Zachariah!)
