If I remind correctly LA atlantis backstory, they were not taught the secret of ice-crafting, they stole it by "interrogating" captured Caelians, but I might have misunderstood

I suggested flight since the tupilak can transform into a raven. If it's a normal-sized raven, of course, it would be a little ridiculous; a tupilak-sized raven, though...
It would look pretty funny in battle to see a bear with a rider fly, also.

And yup, you're right, Jack. Coerced from Caelian captives it was... I still like the hero idea, though - maybe there's a way to work it in. How about something like the following (I put brackets in where I didn't know the numbers):

#newmonster [whatever]
#name "Angra the Broken Seraph"
#copystats [caelian seraph]
#copysprite [caelian seraph]
#gcost 1
#mor 8
#mr 13
#magicskill [air] 3
#forgebonus 25
#[the extra misc slot that you've been giving to heroes]
#descr "When his settlement party was captured and interrogated by Atlanteans, the flighty and weak-willed Angra was the first to break down. He revealed the secrets of ice forging, and now sullenly serves his new masters."
#end

For the broken seraph, shouldn't he have some water magic (even if it mean less air magic) as Caelian ice craftnig has always been associated with water magic, not air ?

Copying the stats from the Seraph should give him 1W. I was thinking that 2A2W might make more sense thematically (especially given things he might have learned from his new masters) but that wouldn't be as exciting a pickup for Atlantis. I put the "flighty" in his description to account for the increased air - game mechanics meshed with game atmosphere, glued together with a bad pun.
I was also waffling on whether or not to give him a forgebonus. I decided to put it in, figuring that if Angra made it into Turin's mod he could remove it or leave it as he wished. Seraphim don't get it normally, but I justified it to myself since after his capture he's been forced to do a lot of ice forging, and also he's clarified techniques for himself during the course of formulating his teachings for others.

Caelian Ice Crafters have forge bonus. LA Caelian Ironcrafters have forge bonus. W2E2?
