Good question. I would like to know, too. They seem to have evolved throughout the seasons--first they weren´t angels, but able to be enscorelled and controlled by mortals, then they were Death´s minions, then they were a type of angel, and now, very recently, they aren´t angels any longer. So...they´ve been re-defined--what is the word--retcon--often. They do appear to work for Death. I´m not sure who created them and I don´t know if they are powered like angels are.
