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 or to reach the creator. The Faustians lust for revenge against The Creator , who exiled them from heaven. Even without the leadership of Lucifer , they still try to awaken the human race to its true potential, but only so humanity can be used as a potent weapon in yet another war against heaven. The plots and intentions of a Faustian are often as subtle as they are dangerous. They have no patience for the Cryptics, and their goals are directly opposite to those of the Raveners and Reconcilers, but they can work with Luciferans (though they don't like to).
Goals
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.
Although they appear to help humanity only to use it for their own purposes, most Faustians actually believe their goals and methods will help both fallen and mortals in the end. A select few do see humans as little more than tools to be used in reaching their final goal, however, and only take interest in the humans they control as they would the health of a prized herd of cattle.
