With the rise of the Demon of False Witness, the most frequently
asked question amongst Dominic's angels ran along the lines of "Why has
he not been converted to a Force smear on the pavement?" This question
was especially loud from the Seraphim, who take Galsiph's existence as a
very personal affront.
When this question was run up the chain of command, the answers were
the same no matter how high up it went. "Wait and see," followed by
"Galsiph is not to be harmed directly."
While the majority of the Judgment angels gnashed their teeth and
waited, Dominic had wrestled with the most appropriate solution.
Galsiph's Roles were very prominent, he had impressive defenses and as a
demon, he was quite strong. Doing something to him directly could have
serious repercussions and it would invite open warfare between him and
Asmodeus.
It was after two days of deliberation with his advisors that a smile
crept across Dominic's face. He called up files on all of his Corporeal
Servitors and found the three angels who would best serve Judgment in
this matter.
And thus it came to be that Triad 2016 was formed.
Triad 2016 (Refer to Exodus if you don't get the reference) consists
of a Seraph, an Elohite and a Mercurian that as members of other Triads
were responsible for the conversion of three Tethers of The Game to
Judgment, four high level defections from Hell and over a dozen
"Rescues" of angels that nearly fell. Each one has a reputation for
focus and patience that made them stand out amongst Dominic's favored
Servitors. They quickly accepted the transfer to this new Triad and
went to Earth with one mission:
Utterly discredit the Demon of False Witness.
These three angels keep a close eye out on whatever cases Galsiph
happens to be involved in. With a strong knowledge of the law and
medicine, they are a formidable countermeasure to Galsiph's work. They
have not won every case against him, but they learn from their mistakes
quickly and adapt their strategies as necessary. Not only that, but
they have the support of Archangels that would normally be hostile or
reluctant to help Judgment.
For instance: Have a case involving murder by firearms and the wrong
man is about to be convicted? Michael has some of the best ballistics
expert among his Blessed Souls and has no problem sending them down as
Saints to help out. Is there a woman about to be incarcerated over
false accounting records? Marc keeps the most vicious bean counters on
staff who can go through false books like a razor on paper.
With the cooperation of Heaven and a patience greater than most
Triads, 2016 feels that it is only a matter of time before Galsiph loses
the wrong case against them and earns the ire of Asmodeus.
The following are the members of 2016.
Gamaliel: Seraph
Gamaliel is the leader of the Triad. She served for three centuries
on Earth, first as part of another Triad, then as a lone agent.
Gamaliel's function within the group is finding out which case Galsiph
is going to be at next and soliciting help from the outside with cases.
It does grate on her nerves that she is not allowed in the courtroom
herself, but she quietly accepts this as the will of her Archangel.
Kharamis: Elohite
Kharamis, in his role as an attorney, is one of the deadliest
weapons against the Demon of False Witness. His knowledge of the law,
coupled with his calm demeanor, have wreaked havoc on more than one
"Expert Witness." Before joining Triad 2016, he focused on working
directly with demons and "counseling" them. He was the one responsible
for the high level defections mentioned earlier.
Sharakel: Mercurian
Originally a Mercurian of War, Michael appointed Sharakel as a
liaison between War and Judgment. After a few years, the Mercurian
found that he was better suited within Judgment's ranks and was
transferred over. Her task within 2016 is typically a psychologist or
doctor. Whether in a female or male vessel, Sharakel comes across as
professional and friendly. Her personality has won over more than one
jury and her testimony has disproved a few of Galsiph's doctors as well
as cause a few to lose their license. Her presence on 2016 is the main
reason Michael remains cooperative with them.
