Illium személy
angel
one of Raphael’s Seven
son of “the Hummingbird” Sharine
500 years old
stronger than most angels ten times his age
nicknamed Bluebell by Galen
close friendship with Galen
has a fascination with mortals
stripped of his feathers as punishment for trusting a mortal with angelkind’s darkest secret
lost the mortal woman he loved
more human than most other immortals
faint hint of a British accent
black hair tipped in blue, vivid golden eyes
wings are blue edged with silver
playful nature hides a ruthless strength
seems frivolous and flamboyant
both incomparably beautiful and completely deadly
almost too beautiful to be real
unmatched flyer, one of the fastest of all angelkind
has a disregard for his own life and safety
no personal glamour, but can make small objects near his body invisible
continuing to grow in strength

– Honor, ne flörtölj annyit Illiummal! Csak a hiúságát erősíted.
10. fejezet
Illium látványosan ért földet, gyorsan és durván, majd fél térden állva, szárnyait kitárva felemelte a fejét, és elvigyorodott.
– Hiú – jegyezte meg Elena, és remélte, hogy a szíve nemsokára visszahúzódik majd a torkából a helyére.
– Nem hiúság, ha való – válaszolt Illium.
Elena megrázta a fejét, és Galenhez fordult.
– Mit tanít nekem Illium?
– Semmit. Illium pillangót játszik.
“He snuck into Illium’s room while Illium was asleep. Normally Illium would wake at once”—the squirmy cub had grown into a seasoned warrior— “but his mind would’ve known Aodhan was no threat, so he slept on.” […]
“Waiting until Illium turned over onto his front, Aodhan painted words on the outer surface of his wings with a special ink that soaked in but dried without leaving a sticky feeling. When Illium woke, he didn’t notice anything.”
Andromeda giggled. “What did Aodhan write?”
“Well, when Illium went out to join his squadron commanders for a drill, they patted him on the shoulder and said, ‘Sorry, you’re not my type’.” Naasir had seen it all from his vantage point on a balcony. […] Naasir grinned. “Free Bluebell kisses on offer.” […]
“The best part was that the ink didn’t wash off, not for three days. Illium finally hunted Aodhan down and had him ink out the words so it just looked like he had splotches of black on his wings.”
– Felvágsz?
– Oui, oui. – Tiszta férfias vonzerő az angyal mosolyában.
– A hajad igazi?
Bólintás.
– És a szemeim is. Már ha erre is kíváncsi vagy – Újabb kihívó mosoly.
Elena meglátta, hogy egy toll a szárnyából a járdára hullott.
– Itt felkelés tör ki, ha azt nem veszed fel.
Illium követte Elena tekintetét.
– Elviszem és ledobom majd az égből. Valaki csodára lel ma
