| - "No matter if the enemy has thousands of men, there is fulfillment in simply standing them off and being determined to cut them all down, starting from one end. You will finish the greater part of it." -Yamamoto Tsunetomo, "Hagakure" Malakim, the Virtues, are the fifth Choir of angels. The first Malakim were created during the Fall. They were originally angels of other choirs, who were fundamentally transformed by outrage at Lucifer's rebellion. Since then, Superiors have made more along the same pattern. Malakim are (believed to be) unable to Fall, and have no demonic counterpart; Hell often tries to use Djinn or Calabim as replacements. However, Malakim with too much Discord can become Dark Malakim. They are Bad News.
