GrigoriAccording to the apocryphal Book of Enoch, the Grigori (also known as "Watchers"), are a group of fallen angels who mated with mortal women, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. The Grigori numbered a total of 200 but only their leaders are named in the Book of Enoch: Enoch 7:9 These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Azazyel (also known as Azazel). These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. Fictional Works In the mid-1990s British author Storm Constantine authored the Grigori trilogy, a dark fantasy series that builds upon the Watcher legend and the work of Andrew Collins (From the Ashes of Angels). The trilogy comprises: Stalking Tender Prey (1995), Scenting Hallowed Blood (1996), and Stealing Sacred Fire (1997). In the Kevin Smith movie Dogma, Bartleby, one of the two fallen angels, played by Ben Affleck is mentioned as being a Grigori.
