The Watchers
The watchers, or Iyr (Hebrew for watcher-angel) as they are referred to by those of Razmadda, are angels that are charged with keeping the records and deeds of men. They are separated into those who actually do the observing or "watching" and those who are tasked with recording it and managing those who operate in Eden.
Some of these angels believe they are greater than man. They were irritated that they had to keep watch of mankind and to do the Almighty's work protecting humans. With the rebellion of the fallen Cherub of the Garden, these angels became bolder. Eventually, the seeds of rebellion spread throughout Heaven.
This is where a Seraph named Shemihazah and those angels on his council are introduced. They felt that their lives were ones of enslavement and longed to be "free" to do whatever they wanted. One of their desires was the "helper" that man was given: women. For clarity, after the angels rebel, those in open rebellion become Iyr, while those still with God are the Watchers.

With the exception of Shemihazah, Iyr have human-like characteristics. Being a Seraph, Shemihazah possesses the head of an eagle. (Halel or Satan also has unique features.) They are distinctly different, though, because they are taller than the average man and have very sharp, chiseled features. In my mind, they resemble many depictions I have seen of elves.
All the Iyr have incredible strength, speed, and senses. They also have the ability to affect the environment around them due to their ability to manipulate matter at the molecular level. This ability gives the impression that they have magical powers. They do not sleep, and they have no need for food but require large amounts of concentrated light to maintain their abilities and strength. This is why one of the first technologies developed in Razmadda was the large crystal light converters that peak all of the Iyr's palaces. These crystals concentrate light to nearly the amounts needed to emulate the light they were used to in the heavenly realm.

With their trade-off of knowledge for wives they soon posses enormous influence over the affairs of those who have succumbed to their temptation.
