Angel names in the manner of Kill Six Billion Demons: a number, a two-word short name and a clause of purpose, like 41 Iron Lamp Kept Burning Against the Long Night or 19 Pale Gate Opens Only Once. The 1,000 names also include short names alone, such as Quiet Anvil, and single-name angels such as 9 Ambrose.

About KSBD angel names

In KSBD, the webcomic for mature readers by Tom Parkinson-Morgan, an angel's full name reads like a small sentence. The best-known example is 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil, called White Chain for short: a number, a two-word short name, then a clause of purpose. 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe follows the same grammar, and 2 Michael shows a second shape, a number and one plain name. Those three are quoted from the comic. Everything else here is an original in the same pattern for your own characters, so read none of it as canon.

The originals come in several moods. There are martial names of law and judgment (53 Heavy Gavel Falls Once and Is Heard), contemplative names of stillness (90 Empty Bowl Is Never Poor), names for angels in doubt, whose clause has slipped into the past tense (74 Silenced Trumpet Heard the Other Side), color and weather names, wardens, scribes and menders, and longer ceremonial names of two clauses. About one entry in eight is a short name alone, such as Quiet Anvil or Stone Petal, and sixty are single-name angels like 9 Ambrose.

This page does not explain what the number means. The canon names show only that it comes first, so change it freely.

How to choose KSBD angel names

  • Keep the grammar: a number, a two-word short name, then a clause that opens with a verb or a participle. 19 Pale Gate Opens Only Once works because the clause says what the angel does.
  • Use the short name in dialogue. White Chain is the model, so 41 Iron Lamp Kept Burning Against the Long Night is simply Iron Lamp once the introductions are over.
  • Swap the number for any other. The originals leave 2, 6 and 82 to the canon angels who carry them, and the numbers in this list imply no rank or order.
  • For an angel who doubts or has fallen, turn the clause and keep the short name: move the verb into the past tense or let it ask a question, as in 66 Cracked Bell Rang Once for the Wrong Verdict.
  • Read the whole name aloud before you settle. A good one has the rhythm of a line of verse, as in 63 Blue Reed Bends and Is Not Broken.

Frequently asked questions

How are angel names built in KSBD?

The canon examples show a number, a two-word short name and a clause of purpose: 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil, shortened to White Chain. 2 Michael shows a second shape, a number with a single plain name. The originals in this list follow both shapes.

Which names in the list come from the comic?

Three: 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil, 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe and 2 Michael. The other entries, such as 7 Still Water Reflects No Falsehood and 79 Old Gate Shut for an Age Opens to One Honest Knock, are originals written in the same style and are not characters from the comic.

What does the number in front of an angel's name mean?

This page does not try to say. The canon names show that the number comes first and that it can be as low as 2, and the rest is for the comic to tell. For your own angel, pick any number you like. This list only keeps 2, 6 and 82 for the three canon names it quotes, and it does not track which other numbers the comic uses.

Can I use these names for a tabletop character or fan fiction?

Yes. The originals are meant for your own angels in a tabletop campaign, a fan comic or a story, and a short name such as Quiet Anvil can take a clause you write yourself. This is a fan-made list with no affiliation to the comic or its author, so treat the names as starting points and not as lore.
