Metatron, the voice of God as he is sometimes known, gods scribe, once the Prophet Enoch before becoming an angel. He, like many of the characters in this book have 'evolved' from ancient souls, gods or people. They become unkin. Some like Metatron think unkin should choose a side and have it 'written' into the very fabric or reality that is their soul. Using nanotechnology, mindworms and sleeper agents like Jack Carter. He is a pawn of Metatron who doesn't even know he is unkin. There are those who are in the middle and do not wish to choose sides. They remember what it was to be human. Phreedom Messenger, who lived a trailer park existence now searches for her brother across the vellum with Jack Carter and others on their trail.
Sounds eclectic.
UPDATE: It's amazing what a Google News search for "Metatron" turns up. Scott McClellan is "Metatron, Voice of Bush." There's a sheep named Metatron at Simcock Farms in Swansea. The Drums of Death collaborative album by D J Spooky and Dave Lombardo has a soundtrack titled "Metatron." The angel Metatron is a character in the movie Dogma. The "galactic being" Metatron is channeled by a medium named Sally Lesar, who was on the "Channel Panel" at the College of the Siskiyous at Mount Shasta, California. And I'm not sure who Metatron is supposed to be here, but he has something to do with The Hoostock Music Festival 2005.
UPDATE (18 September): There's a race horse named Metatron in Washington State.
Jim, another Metatron appears as the generic name of a Virtual Presence robot, an item in Neal Stephenson's Fall, or Dodge in Hell (first appears in chapter 29). You can ship your Metatron to a distant location where it will serve as your eyes and ears (and voice). All best regards, Peter Zaas
