Qingu
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
Qingu, the Visage of Radiance is one of the Apocalyptic Forms avaliable to the Fallen, specifically those of the House of Namaru.
The Qingu are beautiful, statuesque, radiant winged creatures, with eyes that pierce all concealment. When they become consumed with Torment, their beauty becomes alien, cruel, and cold, and they grow horns and spit acid. They are not as prone to becoming ruthless monsters as the other Namaru forms, but instead push humans relentlessly, usually towards destruction.
The abilites and Visage of the Qingu did not exist until after the Rebellion. Many faithful Heralds, particularly Michael, dispised the Qingu as perverted, lesser versions of their own abilites and jobs. The Qingu used their powers to inspire humans, much like their more powerful cousins the Bel. During the War of Wrath, the Qingu were valued for their natural ability to determine true rebels over loyalist angels. They also made excellent tacticians and record-keepers.
[edit] Background information
Qingu was a consort of the goddess Tiamet in Babylonian mythology. He is eventually killed by Marduk after killing Tiamet, and his blood is used to create man.
