[edit] Biography

Angel's parents, two Latina illegal immigrants, crossed the border into the United States and settled in Los Angeles, California. Her parents are soon killed, leaving Angel to fend for herself. Angel is later found by another illegal immigrant named Johnny, who is later killed as well. Sometime after, she meets with an agent of the Word known as O'olish Amaneh, who asks her to join him and then hands her a magical staff, the choice weapon for the Knights of the Word. Angel later becomes the protector of a local compound and she tries in vain to convince the denizens that the compound is not a permanent haven. However, she secretly prepares for the devastating final assault by constructing an exit.

Like she said, the attack comes to pass and most of the compound dwellers are slaughtered, but fortunately Angel manages to save the few who heeded her warnings. She is later accompanied by one of The Lady of the Word's emissaries, a Tatterdemalion named Ailie, whom informs her of the existence of Elves and her assignment: To find the Loden Elfstone in order to save the Elven race. Angel also clashes with Delloreeen, Findo Gask's power-hungry second-in-command, with each confrontation resulting in a narrow escape.
