Watchers are shadowy lithe figures that serve the Charred Council. 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 creatures were created by the Charred Council to serve them as a slave race.

They have a dark wispy appearance with no mouth and multiple glowing eyes. Physically they are quite weak, but the Council is capable of granting them significant power and binding them to their other servants to keep them in line.

Society

Watchers serve the council as a slave race. Thus, they have no society to speak of themselves. It is unknown how many Watchers there are. Their main task is serving as the eyes and ears of the Council as well as ensuring that the Council's will is done.

Notable Watcher Characters

Only three Watchers have been portrayed.

  • Panoptos - The very first Watcher, the Charred Council created him as a test to see how useful a slave race may be.
  • The Watcher - A Watcher bound to War during his journey to prove his innocence to control the Horseman.
  • Unnamed Female Watcher - A Watcher that reported the outbreak of the End War on Earth.
