Ref's library floats in a secluded pocket of the universe only accessible to angels. He is the Angel of Knowledge, charged with the care of every fact that has sprang into existence since the dawn of consciousness.

He is leader to the Scholars, an elite group of angles dedicated to preserving at least one copy of every book written in any language. His personal area of focus is reference books, whether they be textbooks, dictionaries, or cookbooks filled with new and challenging recipes.

The books are rescued from thousands of worlds in the wake of civilizations that rose and fell in a few days, a few years, even a few hundred years. Books, scrolls and tomes are neatly stacked and categorized on shelves which magically expand in length and thickness to accommodate the ever-growing collection. Though most of the books are thousands of years old, every single one has that fresh book smell when you crack the spine open.

He takes no interest in poetry or works of fiction, leaving the preservation of these to angels of a more creative nature.

He is a benevolent leader but he will not tolerate lax work. Only about one in fifty of those acolytes invited to study in the Floating Library for a year are granted the gold-trimmed white robe of a Scholar.

Most dear to his own heart is the binding room. It is the final destination of books so badly neglected that their spines are falling apart and their words are becoming impossible to read. Ref uses the power of far-sight to recover the author's original phrasing, copying every passage of a crumbling text in his precise scrawl so that the purity of the author's intentions is not lost through such a primitive preservation method as translation.

Those books that can be salvaged are bound in leather covers, their title stamped on the spine in golden letters. These are entrusted to the care of the angelic companions charged with distributing the copies equally among the standing civilizations of the life-bearing worlds. Res is Ref's companion, a clever creature capable of assuming the disguise of a slightly battered leather-bound book at a moment's notice on those planets where stealth is vital. Occupants of a world lacking magic would not take well to a book that could scuttle like a spider or bare very impressive fangs. Those fangs serve Res well when more mischievous companions get on his nerves.

Ref is a silent observer on university campuses across the galaxy. He attends lectures invisibly on subjects ranging from astronomy to zoology. He haunts the dreams of bad professors that are lax in checking their sources and sends terrible nightmares to students that even think about cheating on their term papers.

He is a sort of patron of science, though most scientists mistake the gleam of his wings for overhead lights shining on the edge of a beaker. He nudges great minds to make the sort of leaps that will further the advancement of entire planets.

His gifts have led to tragedies in many cases, but he is not without morals. He whispers in the minds of hardened criminals and naughty children alike, allowing them no peace until they confess to their crimes.

Ref has been approached by angels and demons alike for nuggets of knowledge that may turn the never-ending war between the powers of heaven. Not even those that outrank him in power have ever succeeded in forcing him into obedience. His knowledge furthers mortal lives as a way to balance the misfortune of such short life spans. He must remain neutral in the greater conflicts or risk unmaking the very patterns of the universe.

Knowledge may be power but wisdom is in knowing how to use it.
