Spirare History

After the Veil was created, the angels attempted to maintain it on their own. However, because their power was diluted on the Mundane Side, they were unable to do so. In an effort to create a loyal workforce, the angels made a deal with the Keeper of Magick Souls, Israfel.

In exchange for allowing her to train the warriors in the Underworld before their birth into the physical plane, imprinting her animal instincts on them, she allowed the angels free reign to adopt her warriors and give them new life. When a Spirare is killed, they immediately return to the Underworld where their eternal fate is decided by Israfel.

However, after the Spirare Rebellion, Israfel lost trust in the angels and refused to allow them the freedom to choose their own children at will. This punishment effectively caused the Spirare population to plummet on the physical plane, allowing the Spirare already in existence to fade into the shadows.

It is from there that they protect the Mancer Community from exposure and police the small population of creatures from the Other Side that manage to find their way through the Veil to the Mundane World.

In modern times, the number of living Spirare has dwindled so much that most Mancers believe they are extinct because they have either never met one in person or, if they have, the Spirare claim to be from another Troupe and disappear before any questions can be raised. It isn't until Jessie Mead arrives at MERCE than the Mancer Community is even aware that the Spirare still exist. A fact that is a constant source of irritation for the angels.
