===Age of Praetora=== |

The origins of Imphiel are vague, but can be tracked back through Praetorian texts to the height of the Praetor ages. During this time, Imphiel was a strong influence within the Praetaran mythos. His ideals of maintaining humility in victory, and modesty in triumph, helped to keep the balance of pride in Praetorian society. Whilst not as physically dominant, nor wielding extreme power to assert control, Imphiel continued to be a major deity, due to several notable philosophers of the time maintaining his teachings, and the invention of many information spreading technologies. |

====Praetora Era==== |

Whilst Imphiel is able to manifest in many forms due to the nature of his being, most appearances from the Praetora Era follow a similar general description. He appears as a male of the race of the observer, with an androgynous appearance, and animated personality. His height would vary from 175-500cm, and could sometimes appear more muscular if dealing with an issue. He would also have an angelic appearance, often utilising wings to move. |

====Post-Resurgence==== |

Similar to the Praetora era, Imphiel manifests as the race of the observer, androgynous and with wings. However, he has only extremely rarely been seen to be larger than 190cm, and only uses his wings when needing to travel vertically. He is also often carrying a poleaxe. |
