Canon information
Character name and canon: Xas from The Vintner's Luck & The Angel's Cut. Character background: Xas is an angel in the literal Judeo-Christian mythology sense, from the lowest (and least bizarre-looking) of the nine orders of celestial beings who reside in a physical world adjoining Earth. They have their own cities, language, and government, and a very martial culture. God discovered Earth rather than created it. The angelic hierarchy, though, he did create, and angels and archangels in particular are an imperfect effort at replicating humans, whose souls he collects, a little bit like a hobbyist pinning butterflies to a board. It's creepy.
For his part, Xas is a preemptive copy of Christ, because God is not actually all-powerful or all-knowing and he needed a trial run to see how things would go if they didn't go as planned. Brief answer: not well!
Xas isn't and never has been technically a fallen angel, but since the nightmarishly bloody hundred-year war in Heaven ended, Xas's home has been primarily Hell. (God and Lucifer worked out a sort of treaty/joint custody agreement to let him travel freely, but his attempts to visit Heaven never ended well.) Since the late 1800s, however, Xas has been grounded on Earth: Michael tried to literally rip his heart out and Lucifer stepped in to save him, but then Lucifer also cut off his wings—not for anything Xas has done, but because bigger things were at play and Lucifer wanted to prove a point to God—and left him with his human friends.
His canon point would be November 1941, at which point he hasn't come to peace with God and Lucifer, exactly, for the whole trapped-on-Earth thing, but he's also no longer sulking like a sullen child. Legally, he's the father of his deceased friend's two-year-old daughter. He also entered the U.S. using the papers of a German military veteran and never obtained U.S. citizenship, so in about a month things are going to start going south for him. But not yet.
Voidville information
Character's Voidville name: Christoph Hintersee Voidville background: Chris is twenty-three year old single father, most often employed as a gardener. He has a lot of hobbies and has a reputation for being chatty and easily distracted; only the first part is accurate. He can be freakily focused and patient when he wants to be. He came to Voidville at 16 after violently falling out with his family. He has scars and nightmares and he doesn't like to talk about it. (Christoph Hintersee isn't his real name even by Voidville's standards of realness, but he does speak fluent German, among other things, should anyone question it.) He absconded with enough money with that it's okay that he doesn't always have steady work, as long as he's careful. He ended up renting a room from a now-deceased woman in her thirties, who became his best friend. Two and a half years ago she had a child. Alison isn't biologically Chris's, but Flora knew she was dying and also knew she didn't want Alison's father to have anything to do with her, so that's not what the birth certificate says. Flora died when Alison was six months old, and Chris has been raising her in Flora's house ever since. He's a very well-meaning dad, but not always a very good one, because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
Played by?: Rami Malek.
