Angels in the Dresden Universe
svb1972:
angles having children with mortals is the traditional way for them to Fall from grace. Their offspring are called Nephlim and are the primary reason God did the flood.

Yeah, a person has the choice (presumably) to reject the advances of an angel, but can we expect angels to be anything less than perfect?

Heh, the human mom/dad could have the aspect Touched by an Angel :D
And a scion of an angel, the Nephilim, I think would be one of the few and far between examples of a child born out of love, out at least consensual sex, rather than force in the case of most Changelings or demonic scions.
Kelvor:
Remember, being a descendent of an angel doesn't necessarily make you a good person. ;)
Funny to see the Nephilim pop up in a Dresden RPG context again. One of the big bads of my last Dresdenverse game was an angelic descendant trying to locate a Blackened Denariius. I found it fun to have a group of mercenaries led by this individual who called themselves the Nephilim, and whose insignia was a sword with wings. I intended that to be a clue that this dude might be more than ordinary, as a subtle clue of slightly obscure biblical lore, but I don't think any of my players figured it out.

While I can see it with demonic scions I can't with Changelings, at least not every time. Sure, trolls and ogres, but people could be easily swayed by a particularly lovely sidhe into a night of passion, especially if they didn't know the true nature of their lover. With the right glamour it would work for uglier Fae as well. Even the ugliest troll might be looking for a little love in the mortal realm!
The Codex:
I really like the idea of a Nephilim, if you where to give him inhuman toughness what sort of Catch do you give the son child, decendant of an angel.....
