Some Wraiths awaken in the Land of the Dead with a very strong desire to make a difference. Perhaps this is left over from when they were alive, and perhaps it is new - a response to a death they didn't earn. And, as they cannot protect other wraiths from wrongful deaths, they must instead turn their attention back to the Land of the Living, even though the Order's Injunction prohibits them from intervening. These wraiths are well suited to joining the Messengers: a seemingly-altrustic Concord whose stated purpose is to protect the living. They are self-appointed guardian angels, following a code of behavior given unto them by the Gods. They are tasked with protecting life - all life - and go about their duties with the reverence they are due. But no one should mistake reverence for pacifism. When the Messengers speak of their sacred vows they are sincere in their beliefs - not merely spouting pretty words. And they will fight with divine fury to see those beliefs carried out. For there are angels of vengeance, too - and of death.
