The most notable of these Archon tyrants was Agnomakhos, who used the [[Cats|leonin]] as an army.

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).[1] They seem to be mirror-images of the black Specters, hooded beings that also ride flying mounts.
