It appears that the Fallen who dominate their host's soul are less powerful than those that work with their hosts. In the case of Nicodemus and his Fallen, Anduriel, the two work in what appears to be a mutually beneficial partnership. The amount of influence a Fallen chooses to exert over its host appears to vary-in the case of Ursiel, the Fallen had completely taken over the host body, and kept the host's soul tortured and trapped. Once the coin is taken up, though, the shadow is no longer needed and vanishes. It also possesses all the knowledge of the original - a heavy temptation in itself. It is not nearly as powerful as the original, but even this mental copy is capable of extreme power, such as casting lifelike illusions (for the possessee only). If the coin is merely touched briefly and not actually picked up, a shadow copy of the Fallen is put into the hosts mind to tempt it to pick up the coin completely and finish the bonding. Once a human has physically touched one of the Blackened Denarii, the Fallen bound to it is free to communicate with its new host, able to bestow knowledge, physical prowess, and magical ability, for as long as the host maintains possession of the coin. There are thirty such Fallen, each bound to a tarnished silver Roman denarius which bears its respective Fallen's sigil the thirty denarii represent the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot, and may possibly be those very coins. Their aim is to disrupt human civilization and sow chaos, corruption and suffering among humanity. The Denarians are unions of a human host and one of the Fallen.
