Saint Spear of the Seven Heavens

At the first ages, when the Blood War between devils and demons raged across the Hell, angel Zariel descended upon the chaotic demon kind to end the conflict once and for all. Her act was self righteous and against the will of Gods of Seven Heavens and so she did not receive the Gods' favour. Despite her efforts, she was devoured by darkness and defiled, becoming an Archdevil. But she wasn't the only Solar who saw the Heavens' indifference as wrong. After her fall, a small group of Solars admired her efforts, many of which felt anger and rage for the first time in their celestial lives. They once more turned to Lathander to grant his permition to descend upon the Abyss and destroy the demon kin with their holy wrath. Yet they heed no sympathy, just like Zariel did. In a desperate act, they turned to Tyr, to ask for a just solution. Tyr offered them one, which some of them feared and fled from, while others accepted with gratitude. Those who stayed, agreed to forgo their immortality for a very special miracle which later was known as the Samsara of Torment. In the moment of their death, they were to be reincarnated in another mortal's body, partialy regaining their purpose, memory and martial skills with time, in form of flashbacks from previous reincarnations. The cycle would repeat itself endlessly until their mission is complete: when the last demon has been erradicated from the Planes of Existence. Thus the Saint Spears of Seven Heavens came to be. After centuries of furious slaughter and ceaseless violence against the demon kind in the Abyss, each of them fell and as it was foretold, was reborn, only to regain conciousness, regain strength with time, return to their crusade of holy genocide and fall yet again. They quickly became feared among the demonic legions and respected even by the devils, which despised the demon kind as much as the Saint Spears do. Yet their crusade is still far from over.
