Scelesti

The Abyss is Part of us
We are those who do the Abyss's bidding
We are those Chosen
You'll never know we are there
We hide in plain Sight

The Scelesti pervert Supernal magic by invoking the Abyss. Though it’s an easy way to commit suicide-by-Paradox, the Abyss is a fount of power. Whatever the reason they call upon it, the Scelesti abrogate a mage’s connection to the Supernal in exchange for tangible power, and it’s for that reason that the Orders — including the Seers of the Throne — will kill a Scelestus on sight. Of course, finding the Scelesti is another matter. The Abyss does not obviously mark them all, and they have infiltrated all of the Orders at some level. The other Left-Handed mages stand outside Awakened society, pariahs who nevertheless have some use. The Scelesti squat in the heart of the Orders because to do otherwise is to invite destruction. Though the Orders hunt them, the Scelesti have a handful of Legacies that make deals with the Abyss, infecting the mage’s workings with Paradox in exchange for great power. The Scelesti aren’t a formal Order — each has his reasons for calling upon the Abyss. He may want to control Paradoxes as a sign of his magical strength. He may need the power of the Abyss to overcome an otherwise insurmountable obstacle. Touching the Supernal may make him yearn to slip the shackles of the Fallen World. Whatever the reason, he has a shard of doubt or uncertainty, and the Abyss provides the answer. Its power provides freedom from doubt and solutions to unsolvable problems.
