Introduction[]
Aodhan is an angel. He is one of Raphael's Seven, serving him since his youth. He does not like anyone touching him because of past trauma. He is so distinctive looking, there is no place in the world where he would not stand out. He is unique even among other angels—so very other he is hard to categorize.

He has not wanted to be part of the world for centuries, broken on the deepest emotional level.
