Its kind of crazy to how in the Supernatural world the Denarians are relatively small fry
I think relatively speaking, the Denarians are actually kind of small potatoes next to the other Supernatural factions/beings.
Its crazy to think given that its 30 of Lucifer's best. Angels older than time itself and so dangerous Lucifer himself put them in a coin. But I think really they are kind of small fry next to the other factions.
-
Magically the strongest Denarian/Fallen are Nicodemus, Tessa, and more recently Marcone. Whilst not exactly weaklings, they are not even close to the likes of Mab or Ferrovax. They are White Council level, but nothing beyond that. Well maybe Marcone could rise up the totem pole pretty quick depending on how far he progresses with Thorned Namshiel's tutoring.
-
Denarians who are possessed/puppets of their Fallen are basically just slightly harder to kill monsters. A regular member of the White Council could probably take them with even just a bit of prep time.
-
To their credit, they arent totally without resources in the real world. Nicodemus at least clearly has a lot of money and a weird cult thing going with the tongueless squires. But they dont seem to build huge powerbases in the real world. Its kind of antithetical to their nature in some respects with only Nicodemus being much concerned about long term planning.
-
There can only be max 30 Denarians active at any time. Realistically its usually probably more like half given how quickly some Fallen go through hosts and coins being taken by the Church or Knights of the Cross.
-
They dont really have huge influence in the Nevernever. The Fallen are basically semi-exiled from Hell and imprisoned in the Coins. And Hell is such a big corporation type realm that their CEO Lucifer very rarely pays much attention or gives them much support.
-
Despite the vast knowledge the Fallen have, the only ones who really seem interested in sharing it in a meaningful capacity with their hosts are Thorned Namshiel, Anduriel and Imariel.
-
Some of the longer term Denarians like Nicodemus have connections, favours and contacts with the rest of the supernatural world. But given how Nicodemus is now out of the Accords I imagine those connections are not so willing to help him out now.
Compare this to Ferrovax who can break reality just by fully manifesting. Or Mab who commands the most numerous force in the Nevernever. Or even the White Council whos average member even with a bit of prep time can handle a Denarian in battlemorph and counter powerful curses Nicodemus himself throws at them.
