A couple other things I'd like to add to DCW's remarks is that the reason why ya prolly don't hear as much about angel rape is that who believes angels do that? Think about it. If an angel wants a man, all she's gotta do is wait 'til he's alone, snatch him up, and no one ever hears from him again. And who do you think people are gonna suspect? The angels who theoretically look out for everyone? Or a rapetrain, cumdumpster monster who could've just as easily jumped him in the alley? Especially if the guy in question cats around with monsters. It's the perfect crime. Sure, their bios say they mostly target heretics. But who do you think they're gonna set their sights on once the heretics are purged (i.e., fed to the Angel Plant)? It's gonna be one short list.

Like I said, what makes Ilias tick is still a mystery. But we do know this much: during her little pow-wow with Black Alice, she said she was gonna let the world keep on spinning if an unbaptised hero showed her his faith. That would be Luka. In other words, she was willing to call off all of Armageddon just for Luka. I'll say it again, she was willing to call off the apocalypse just for one guy. Even though she was gearing up for doomsday, it wasn't exactly Plan A (though the Monster Lord's castle prolly would've wound up a smoldering crater, anyway). She even said she tried cleansing Luka's dirty blood. So she wasn't just appearing before Luka for no reason. The lady had something invested in the kid. And I love saying this, but her rape scenes point to one thing. But anything more than that is speculation.

And I will say this much, I always thought the comparisons between Lucifer and Ilias were kinda out there. I can rattle off a whole laundry list of epic baddies who have lots of those characteristics in common (maybe not the angel one, but still). Megatron, Darth Vader, Sauron, Bowser, Voldemort, Gannon, Dr. Weil, Mr. Burns, Dick Cheney, me, the list goes on. If you wanted to say that is list is just commonly-used recipe for a halfway decent baddie in any classic story-telling, I wouldn't say yer wrong.
