Sprites are shadowy lithe figures that serve the council unquestioningly. Their appearance, dark and shadowy, and abilities are more akin to demons, But they are infact classified as Old Ones, as they are neither Angel, Demon, or Human. The name Sprite is used by Azrael when referring to The Watcher, and is assumed to be the name of the race.
Status
Sprites serve the council for various tasks, In the Darksiders Universe only two have been observed so far, The Watcher and his sister. The Watcher's un-named sister was obliterated by The Charred Council upon going to Earth and observing that the Armageddon War had begun prematurely, and that War was upon the battle field. The reason for her death was not for providing this information, but because she had gone personally to Earth to obtain it, which was against the Laws of the council, as they are not allowed to go to Earth without the council's permission.
It is unknown how many sprites there are, The main occupation of a Sprite is to be the eyes and ears of the Council for tasks, when authorized of course. The Watcher is granted several abilities by the council that allow him to keep War in line while he is on his quest to prove his innocence.
Sprites are very weak physically, depending on magic for potential conflicts. They are seen as fiercely loyal to the council, and are seen by practically every race, Angel, Demon, even Old ones, with negativity as they are the harbingers of the Council's will.
