Can demons be angels?

There's a moment in the WW2 section of Lèonidés where Lèon helps a group of 4 dozen Polish officers and soldiers escape. He does it by grabbing and speaking with a young Captain, who understands English. Tells him his crew is about to attack, and that there is a trail which passes by the fortress he and his crew are inhabiting, at the moment, that will lead them to an encampment of Polish resistors. His one admonition is no one of them is to enter the fortress. No matter what.

Then Lèon and his lads take 10 of the Russians captive, after killing the rest, and carry them up to the fortress. Inside, the prisoners are bound as they curse and howl in fear and anger. The Polish Captain is passing the fortress when he hears them, hesitates and is about to bring some of his fellow officers inside to investigate. Leon realizes and appears behind him, in full view of the other officers. In English, he warns the man not to.

The man's a serious Catholic and asks if Lèon's a demon. But being cagey, his answer is, "What's the opposite of a demon?" Then, when the Captain believes he's an angel from heaven, Lèon uses God to send him on. Enjoying how he never bothered to mention he's actually a Blood Angel. Hardly one of the heavenly hosts.

I have a feeling this young officer is going to reappear, later. That's the hint it seems to be giving me, though in what capacity, I don't know. The next section takes place more than 65 years later, in New Orleans. Maybe I'll make him an Archbishop or even the pope. Who knows?

It's grown even darker, this section. A lot darker. But it fits the times and the narrative. Lèon and his pack are ravening beasts, albeit within more acceptable parameters. I think the New Orleans section will be told from Gabrielle's perspective, possibly through him. But she puts no limitations on her court when it comes to feeding. She revels in the terror and pain of innocents...like any good vampire.

But some of that could change...
