Darklighter

Darklighters are the demonic counterparts to Whitelighters .The primary goal of all Darklighters is to kill Whitelighters with their poisoned arrows in order to make witches more vulnerable to evil attack. In addition, Darklighters often work as hired guns or mercenaries to Upper-Level Demons and Powers. They generally work with Warlocks or demons to accomplish their goals. Darklighters can teleport from place to place by orbing, as Whitelighters can, but their orb effects are black in color. Their ability was once called Black Orbing. They also come equipped with crossbows, which they can summon into their hands at any time. Their powers are triggered by hate.

The Darklighter crossbow arrows are coated with a special type of poison that is especially lethal to Whitelighters. Some Darklighters also possess the touch of death, a power triggered by hate and focused through their hands - in contrast to a Whitelighter's ability to heal others. Similar to Whitelighters, Darklighters also possess the ability to sense another magical being's presence through a magical form of telepathy. Hence they can locate a Whitelighter anywhere on the globe by merely concentrating.

Besides the standard "assassin" type of Darklighter, who strive to kill current Whitelighters to leave their charges vulnerable or to kill future Whitelighters before they can earn their wings, there are four other known types of Darklighters.
