The Watchers
Known also as the Grigori
According to The Book of Jubilees, the Watchers are the sons of God (Genesis 6) sent from heaven to instruct the children of men; they fell after they descended to earth and cohabitated with the daughters of men—for which act they were condemned (so legend reports) and became fallen angels. But not all Watchers descended: those that remained are the holy Watchers, and they reside in the 5th Heaven. The fallen Watchers dwell either in the 3rd Heaven or Hell.
