Malakhim

Malakhim (聖隷, Seirei; literally meaning either "Holy Servants" or "Holy Spirits"), or Malak for short, are a spiritual race in Tales of Berseria. They are a tribe of spiritual beings who use the powers of nature and are used as familiars. Very similar to Spirits in previous entries in the Tales of series, they are linked to the elements. With the help of their Prime Lord, a Shepherd can make a pact with the malakhim, an act required for them to complete their task of purifying hellions and the malevolence, ultimately defeating the Lord of Calamity. The Normin are a special type of malakhim, and the Empyreans or Five Lords is an extremely powerful malak.

In the Tales of Zestiria series, The Malakhim are to be also known as Seraphim (天族, Tenzoku; literally meaning either "Heaven Tribe" or "Sky Family") or Seraph for short.
