The Fourth Holy Sword
Eldest Gruff:
--- Quote from: Foxed on April 16, 2015, 07:46:35 PM ---There was an alternate theory that the fourth archangel was actually Uriel, who, befitting his role in-series as Heaven's spymaster, provided Soulfire to a mortal instead of a sword.

I had not seen that one...but based on what I outline about the who represents the swords and why, plus Uriel's connection to the guy who wielded Amoracchius, I figure he's a custodian too. He did show up as just that in his first guise after all ;)
Foxed:
If Raphael and his Grace are tied up in Demonreach and MacAnally's, how'd he ever get around to giving anyone a sword?
Maybe the Wardenship of Demonreach is the fourth Archangel's gift.

Well the idea was the sword was gifted to Roland before he gives up his Grace to Merlin, who if you take Griffyn's theorizing to heart could have been nearing the end of his life around 800 A.D. Charlemagne was born fifty years prior and had his paladins well settled before 800. So that would be how :)

You've also got this quote from SG:
--- Quote from: Skin Games ---“I didn’t choose for it to do that,” I said. “Seriously. There might be some kind of copyright infringement going on here.”
Uriel smiled again.“I must admit,” he said, “I never foresaw that particular form of faith being expressed under my purview.”

Now granted this could be taken in many ways, but it sounds like Uriel was "in charge" of the Lightsaber at that point.

Uriel does have a ton of faith, in the mission, in the people he interacts with...he could totally be Fidelacchius' 'watcher' too, though I just think its fits a little better with the Trumpeter, Gabriel, loudly and boldy proclaiming. Whereas love endures, is ever present and ever patient. Uriel plays the uuber long games.
It is also possible temporary 'guardianship' might be ascribed at any time from one angel to another :)
My own views anyways, nothing wrong with switching everyone around a little bit.
