A thousand years ago the Angel Raziel mixed his blood with the blood of men and created the race of the Nephilim. Human-angel hybrids they walk among us unseen but ever-present our invisible protectors. They call themselves Shadowhunters. The Shadowhunters obey the laws set down in the Grey Book given to them by the angel: their mandate is to protect our world from the interdimensional parasites they call demons who travel from world to world razing and destroying everything in their path. Theirs is also the task of keeping the peace among the warring Downworlders: the human-demon crossbreeds we know as warlocks vampires werewolves and faeries. In their duties they are aided by the mysterious Silent Brothers. Their lips and eyes sewn shut the Silent Brothers rule over the City of Bones the necropolis below the streets of Manhattan that holds the dead bodies of slain Shadowhunters. The Silent Brothers keep the archival records of ever Shadowhunter ever born. They also watch over the Mortal Instruments the three divine objects the Angel Raziel gave to his children.
