The '''Angiris Council''' is the highest known authority of the [[High Heavens]]. It consists of five senior [[Archangels]] who govern and administrate the laws and rules by which all other [[Angels]] abide, a heavenly counterpart and opposing force to the three [[Prime Evils]] of the [[Burning Hells]], their eternal adversaries. Each member of the Council has their own specific sphere of influence, which define what they are and their respective function in the High Heavens, much like the Prime Evils themselves. They are first introduced in Chapter 22 of ''[[The Veiled Prophet]]'' in ''[[The Sin War (novels)|The Sin War]]'' novels, when they judge [[Sanctuary]], but are first mentioned in Chapter 11 of ''[[Birthright]]'', the first book of the series. The Council convenes in the legendary [[Silver City]].

* '''''[[Tyrael]]'''''
:'''The Archangel of Justice'''. Male. Golden robes and armor. Driven by a high sense of honor and order, and formerly rigid and unbending. Tyrael's personae has largely been formed by [[Uldyssian]]'s sacrifice - a [[Nephalem]], who reached such incredible levels of power but chose to put an end to his life to save his world and his own humanity rather than wield it to become a god. Tyrael was so greatly shocked and impressed by Uldyssian's selfless action that he changed his legalistic worldview and grew endlessly fond of the human race. Through his endless attempts to aid humans in their lives, Tyrael (ironically, as he himself champions Justice) has become somewhat of the "outlaw" of the Angiris Council. Responsible for the destruction of the tainted [[Worldstone]].
