Faustian

Faustians are one of the Factions in Demon: The Fallen. Fallen who are Faustians believe strongly in the abilities and talents of humans, and wish to use those things to overthrow God.

When humans were created, they acquired a tiny part of God's power within them; this made them vastly different from the Elohim, who, while created directly by God, were made only to serve Him. Faustians tend to manipulate humans so that they can figure out how to use this morsel of power to their benefit.

The Houses that have Fallen most likely to be Faustian are the Annunaki and the Lammasu, and to a lesser extent the Namaru. The Asharu are least likey to follow the Faustian philsophy.

Background Info
The Faustians are named after the main character from a famous German tale based on the real-life figure Johann Georg Faust. The most famous English language retelling of the tale is arguably the play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe.
