Welcome to Beyond the Veil, my world that I created in my books and stories. Here I will share stuff about my characters, story ideas and current projects. I hope that everyone will like peering into this hidden world within our world!

Saffron the Fallen Angel

So I had entered a drawing of Saffron into the Fallen Angels challenge, and beings I did, I thought that maybe I’d go ahead and add in about him here. He’s actually an interesting, multi layered character, and was one of my first that I came up with nearly ten years ago (OMG, it’s really been that long???) Anyway, I do have him in my amazon book series The Beautiful Fallen as a main character, and I wanted to talk about him here now. Hopefully there won’t be spoilers for the books…

Saffron was once an angel under the Blue Flame in the Heavens (different flames are supposed to represent different things such as protection, love, peace, ect…) However, for reasons unknown to any, he entered into a plot with another angel named Jade to try and overthrow the higher angels. They were going to combine their powers through a special, forbidden angelic connection, but were caught and thrown out. Even though this happened, they will remained connected for all time anyway, and it actually makes them stronger than your average Fallen too. Basically, they became kind of terrors in their new existence, but tended to butt heads a lot, especially over Jade’s strange affections for a human woman’s soul. This actually leads to Saffron betraying Jade with a contract that the two eventually made with this soul, and he steals her, having her reborn over and over again every time Jade gets too close to finding her. I know that might not make a lot of sense, so let’s just say that every time Jade managed to get close to finding the soul again after it’s been reborn, Saffron kills her and has it happen again.

This pattern went on for decades, but Saffron ended up changing when he fell in love with one of the reincarnations. Although he knows he has to kill her to keep her away from Jade, he wants to keep a part of her forever connected to him, so he has a Nephilim child with her. Knowing that the child will kill her when she gives birth (mothers of Nephilim children from Fallen Angels always die during the birth), he kills her and hides the baby girl. This girl will become one of the main players in the salvation of her kind later and in Saffron’s full plans too.

As for personality, Saffron’s pretty complex. Actually, I like to think that he would be someone’s worst nightmare. He always wearing a friendly smile, although it is said that the more he smiles at someone, the more he hates them. The only exception to this rule is his daughter. He’s always planning his next move too, and rarely ever gets caught off guard. His favorite trick is controlling shadows, and he can do just about anything with them, from hiding within them to using them as weapons to kill his enemies. Like all Fallen Angels, he has bat like wings, although they eventually turn featherlike again after the events with his daughter and saving her kind. He also has incredibly blue eyes, and many recognize him from that alone.

And so, that’s the basics about Saffron, hopefully without giving too much away about him in the books. Hope everyone likes his picture and knowing a little bit more about him!
