A divine agent of the Shining One, a daeva is a towering winged figure radiating an aura of brilliant golden light.

“Between these twain the Daevas also chose not aright, for infatuation came upon them as they took counsel together, so that they chose the Worst Thought. Then they rushed together to Violence, that they might enfeeble the world of men.”
-the Avesta, Yasna XXX, 6, Ahunavaiti Gatha.

Useful Info

Daevas are militant servants of the Shining One, wielding weapons of holy wrath (occasionally blessed blades) and shields. They are slower than angels, but slightly more durable and able to smite their foes, and they have better odds of being avenged by TSO when you kill them. Daevas are very rare, appearing only in the Abyss, holy Ziggurat floors, holy Pan levels, and in the occasional Dungeon vault hidden behind transparent walls.
