The Grigori (
History[]
The Grigori have led the True Cross Order since its inception, consisting of two of the Sol, Shemihaza and Armumahel and one of the Demon Kings, Azazel who taught humans how to combat demons.[2] Unlike the Demon Kings who took over new hosts as their old ones decayed, the three returned to nature, allowing others to represent them in person.[3][4]
