Little of what is known about The First Sinner can be presented as fact. [[10-19 HOBBYS/11 TTRPG/11.12 HOLDING BACK SIN/The Church]] has gone to great lengths to portray their view of the angel, their account of it's imprisonment is the only known account, their portrayal of its visage the only reference to what it may look like.
## Imprisonment
The tale of The First Sinner's imprisonment is a cornerstone of the worship of [[The One God]]. Centuries ago, after committing a sin so heinous that it had to be forgotten, The First Sinner was cast out of Paradise by The One God, but they were unable to bring themselves to destroy the angel. Instead, a brave group of heroes answered the call of The One God and vowed to end the angel's existence. They were however unable to complete their task, so great was it's power, and instead they sealed it in [[10-19 HOBBYS/11 TTRPG/11.12 HOLDING BACK SIN/The Pit]] for all eternity.
## Presentation
The First Sinner is portrayed as a beautiful, androgynous, humanoid in most literature. The Elite Guard of [[The Holy Militia]] wear helmets whose masks are purportedly casts of the angels face.
