An angel was shaped into the bow and given to a great hero, but the hero sacrificed himself in a great battle and his belongings were never recovered. The bow lay untouched for millenia before reaching the hands of the new user. The angel is still lawful good, but has gone a little bit strange, and constantly confuses past and present.

The bow is linked to an angel warrior who doesn't like being called away from his regular duties except in the direst of circumstances.

When the bow is wielded, the angel takes total control of the user.
