Archon

Archons are mystical celestial beings that aren't to be confused with angels. They are heavily aligned with the principles of White, have obscured faces, and always appear on a flying steed (usually a winged lion). They seem to be mirror-images of the black Specters, hooded beings that also ride flying mounts.

Known Archons

So far six archons are known:

• Archon of Redemption
• Archon of Justice
• Archon of the Triumvirate (white - blue)
• Blazing Archon
• the legendary Krond the Dawn-Clad (white -green)
• Vengeful Archon

Notable Archons

• Agnomakhos, historical tyrant from Theros

Notes

• Archon is a Greek word that means "ruler", "magistrate" or "lord"
• The black Cabal Archon is a Human Cleric, not an Archon.
• The flavor text of Krond the Dawn-Clad seems to imply that archons, much like angels, are beings made of pure White mana. It further implies that archons might be created, naturally or by white aligned mages, as embodiments of concepts, something supported by the fact that previous archons are directly associated with said concepts (Archon of Justice representing justice, and so forth). Unlike previous archons, which are personifications of abstract concepts, Krond appears to be a solar deity.
• Archons symbolise White's harsher aspects like it's moral rigidity and ferocious retribution, while angels have a more varied role, generally leaning towards compassion and mercy.
