the stories behind the three seats

Guardians of the Kernel

Ophanimon's profile places the trio at the heart of the Digital World, the Kernel (God's Domain). Digimon Profile #015 adds that the Kernel is rumored to compute all the data of the Digital World, and that the world would collapse if it malfunctioned.

Law, Love and Wisdom

Ophanimon's official profile defines the division: Seraphimon is the thorough executor of God's law, Ophanimon the holy mother who conveys love and mercy, and Cherubimon the guardian of God and wisdom.

Lucemon's Divided Power Legendary

Profile #015 and Lucemon's own profile both say, with a hedge, that the power Lucemon once held was split in three and inherited by the Three Great Angels.

Over Every Angel

Seraphimon governs all angel Digimon. An official digimon.net poll describes the Angelic Army as the Digimon who keep order in the Digital World under the Three Great Angels, led into battle by SlashAngemon.

When an Angel Falls

Negative emotions that swell day by day can drag a Great Angel into a fallen form, and falling further is said to make it an Evil King. If one of the three falls, a new Digimon is apparently chosen, evolves and fills the empty seat.

Rasielmon, the Former Peer

Rasielmon once held the same rank as Ophanimon and is said to see all of the Digital World through the Kernel. It is related to the trio's domain but holds none of the three seats.

Frontier's Celestials Continuity-Specific

In Frontier the three are called the Celestial Digimon. The Ten Legendary Warriors left their Spirits in their care, and Cherubimon's fall into darkness sets the series in motion.
