A Nephilim, as described by Shelby Sterris, is a person with angel DNA (can be mortals, immortals, transeternals, etc.).
Nephilim have varying degrees of power depending on their family tree and the concentration of angel blood in them. Abilities of Nephilim include: speaking many languages, ability to visit the outerworld, levitation, summoning Announcers & glimpsing the past, reflecting mirror images of self or others, etc. Those who possess very few abilities due to their lineage are called ‘diluted’.
Sometimes referred to as a ‘Neph’. Shelby also highlights that both the singular and plural form of the word is Nephilim, never Nephil.
Known Nephilim[]
Most of the Nephilim characters are introduced during Torment, going to the same school, Shoreline, where they are placed in the 'honors' program. The honors program is a cover-up program which only the Nephilim can get into. The program is taught by demon and angel professors, Steven and Francesca.
