Beings of Light

"In the beginning, there was nothing but silence and endless darkness. That was, until the great Beings of Light proclaimed, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."

- The cherubs of the Beings of Light and the creation of the Universe.

"Back from the past, long at last... the eyes of the Light Beyond the Stars have shined on me again..."

- Oswald upon Charlie presenting him with Heaven's Light.

The Beings of Light are the overarching protagonists of Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light.

The Beings of Light are formless, primordial entities who are composed of pure light, and are believed to be the first creations of God, and aided Him in the creation of the Universe itself. They are mysterious and powerful beyond comprehension, existing as myths to even the oldest species in the Universe. As a result, very little is truly known about their true nature, although they are believed to reside outside of the Universe, observing their creations from the void they were created in.

The Beginning
In the beginning of all creation, the Beings of Light were brought into existence by God, thus making them the first creations of the Almighty. They were created as illuminous, bodiless organisms who were then granted intelligence by their Creator, gifting all of them an immense understanding of their abilities and surroundings. After they adjusted to their new-found existence, God decreed that He would create a Universe inhabited with trillions of sentient creatures lower than them in terms of power, and the Beings of Light had been appointed to aid Him in the creation of said Universe. Only one of the Beings of Light, Satan, objected to this, and refused to carry out God's orders, enraged at the idea of other lifeforms co-existing with the Beings of Light. Satan saw no point in sharing a Universe with lower lifeforms, and believed that they, as the strongest entities in creation, should live in comfort. God and His illuminous creations refused to listen to Satan's misanthropic objections, and moved forward to begin crafting the Universe. This left Satan filled with anger and with a desire for vengeance. The Devil left the Beings of Light and effectively exiled itself from their council, and began plotting revenge against them and God.

Following this, the Beings of Light constructed the entire Universe, while God laid the foundations of Heaven.

Appearance
As a result of their primordial nature, Beings of Light are implied to have forms that are beyond the comprehension of lower lifeforms. It is stated that when the Beings of Light were first brought into existence, they appeared in a form similar to that of Heaven's Light; illuminous, sphere-shaped globes of pure light. After they are granted intelligence, they merely take on a form they see as the most fitting, which could imply that the Beings of Light have no true physical form.

The Beings of Light are most often represented as giant, disembodied white eyes with vertical pupils.

Trivia

 * While the Beings of Light were initially claimed to reside in Heaven, in "The Key", Oswald states that the Beings of Light reside outside of the Universe.
 * The Beings of Light were originally meant to appear in "The Fading Light" on two separate occasions; in the first instance, they were meant to appear very briefly when Vaggie was being mentally tortured by Satan over her horrific childhood. Secondly, they were meant to appear when Charlie comforts Vaggie after saving her team with Adina.
