<blockquote>''Main article: [[Choir]]''</blockquote>

# First Choir - [[Saghir Sadira]], the Spikes of Light, are associated with this choir. Presumably opposes the demonic Choir of Darkness.
# Second Choir - includes the Cherub [[Abd Al Sami]], which creates silence and music.<ref>Abd Al Sami is of the Second Angelic Choir, and the intensity of Abd Al Sami’s power is deflected by vows that bind such.  - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1joxVXjTkRomYbbUQbkUSPqR9yMGEOhovrKo4P58rbv0/edit Pact Dice: Evangelists]</ref> Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of Chaos.
# Third Choir - oversee "structure", including things like [[demesne]]s<ref name=":10" /> and buildings.<ref>“A man.  A practitioner.  He is building something.”<br>
“Building?  Buildings are your specialty, Harith.  The third choir’s.”<br>
“But the building is a subtle one, and subtlety is your specialty.  He is laying the groundwork for something big, that much is clear, but here we stand, off to one side, watching and wondering how he can build so very quietly.  Or why.”<br>
“No sound of hammers, nor sawing wood?” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2015/01/03/histories-arc-14/ excerpt] from [[Interlude 14]]</ref> Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of Ruin.
#Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of Madness.
# Fifth Choir - the [[Wheel of the Apex Hunter]], which can create a beast to slay any enemy, is associated with this choir.<ref>Cherubim of the Fifth Choir will appear with increasing frequency and will construct the Wheel in multiple segments. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1joxVXjTkRomYbbUQbkUSPqR9yMGEOhovrKo4P58rbv0/edit EVANGELISTS], document by Wildbow.</ref> Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of the Feral.
#Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of Sin.
#Seventh Choir - Presumably oppose the demonic Choir of Unrest. It is known that the seventh choir exist in abstracts, meaning they generally do not win direct confrontations; and includes [[Faysal Anwar]] among their number.<ref>“The demon would have had its way with all of you, freed of its confines, able to prey on you, until the Abyss caught it once more.  A firmer, longer-lasting binding than any that man could achieve,” Faysal said.  “The Seventh Choir of angels exists in abstract.  We cannot and do not typically win direct confrontations.  The demon gets what it desires, to undo the working that binds it to man’s word by taking the Thorburn family and associated individuals to pieces, and I achieve what ''I'' desire, stopping it in the longer term.  Worth cooperation in the short term.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/30 Excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.10]]</ref> Some people divide angels into "rings", with Faysal being a Gatekeeper of the seventh ring,<ref>He bears a set of antique pipes as his implement, and has a Gatekeeper of the Seventh Ring (''ref Astral Bodies: vol 3, and Prime Movers'') as his familiar, named ''Faysal Anwar'', which takes the form of a rather large Afghan Hound. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/07 Excerpt] from [[Rose Thorburn Senior|Rose Thorburn Sr']]s notes, quoted in [[Bonds 1.6]]</ref> it seems likely that this is a synonym for the Choirs.
