Attunements: Seraph of Judgement, Elohite of Judgement, Heavenly Judgement, Advocate, Warder, Mistress of Law, Angel of Exorcism.

Angel of Exorcism:

1) Hatiphas recognizes possessed people on sight.

2) Hatiphas has effective access to the Banishment and Exorcism rituals and skills, at a level equal to that of her Celestial Forces. She sometimes gives this out as a Servitor Attunement.

Rites:

: Kill a Sorcerer.

: Take a heap of Grimoires and burn them to ashes (Hatiphas often combines this ritual with the one above).

: Celestially slay a demon that is serving a Sorcerer.

Artifacts: Flaming Sword/6

You would think that Redeeming would have made Hatiphas a nicer person.

Well, that's unfair. Under most circumstances, she actually is fairly personable, in that special Seraphic sort of way. Granted, that means that she's inflexible about the Truth, cold, distant, and almost humorless, but that's hardly unusual for those of her Choir. Being a Servitor of Judgement explains a lot, too: in fact, she's a little more forgiving than the stereotype. After all, she's hardly able to be self-righteous, right? Until she finally saw the Light (thanks to her inability to ultimately reconcile her Word with her 'borrowed' Mercurian resonance), Hatiphas was worse than most angels ever fear of being. She's really not that bad, these days.

Unless, of course, you start talking about Sorcery: when that happens, out comes the fanatical gaze, the twitching hands, and even (on really bad days) actual frothing at the mouth. Hatiphas doesn't like Sorcery any more. She really doesn’t like it. She likes it so little that there are times when she has to restrain herself from just going down to the corporeal plane and eviscerating Sorcerers at random. When that happens, she goes off by herself and calms down… and then goes down to the corporeal plane and starts eviscerating, usually with a whole bunch of Malakim in tow. Sorcery was never a particularly safe career path in the past: now, it's starkly dangerous with her around.

As the above might suggest, the Angel of Exorcism is an excellent example of the "Cower before the righteous anger of Heaven, thou pitiful slave of evil" type of angels. When she's worked up, anybody doing a sorcerous ritual within reach is best advised to run, quickly. This can include the innocuous stuff, incidentally: alchemists and enchanters had better be squeaky, squeaky clean if they want to survive an encounter with Hatiphas. Necromancers are advised to not even try. Even the few White Sorcerers aren't safe.

Dominic isn't completely pleased with all of this, incidentally: yes, it's useful (and fairly amusing) to watch Sorcery's former patron wipe out its practitioners, but if Hatiphas doesn't begin to get this loathing under control soon, she might start allocating punishments out of proportion to the crime. Dominic couldn't care less about Hellsworn Sorcerers getting killed messily, but there's already been a time or two where Hatiphas barely kept her homicidal impulses under control while facing the innocent. The Archangel of Judgement has even started to wonder whether this might be one of the few cases where Novalis' input might be useful.

Of course, he'd really prefer that things didn't get that bad. Aside from everything else, Judgement calling in Flowers for help is a pretty good indication that someone's screwed up somehow, and it was Dominic who insisted that this Word get assigned to him...
