Adversary overview

Heavenly Bureaucrat

A step above most dragons but a step below the gods, the Celestial Ministers handle many of the day-to-day goings on of the heavenly bureaucracy. These beings are remarkably unassuming. They look like 10 foot-tall humans whose skin glows with a faint internal light. Celestial Ministers are very focused on the orderly execution of their portfolio of duties. They will generally eschew combat, preferring to leave such vulgar actions to their servants and hirelings but this should not be mistaken for weakness as these beings possess power second only to the gods themselves.
