They tend to be cruel and bitter at most times especially towards humans, mainly because according to their superiors - humans are respected more.

As such they have no qualms trying to get rid of them if a human should get in their way and will go to any lengths in order to do so. Most of the time they appear to be usually quite bitter or vengeful.

Unlike traditional angels they don't have wings but they possess healing powers and heightened senses of taste and smell. But they have a specific walking style that makes it appear that they are levitating.

They can use their sense of smell and taste to search for souls or other Wesen, they would never go after a Grimm though as it is believed that there is a close spiritual connection between this Wesen species and Grimms.

In woged state their skin grows pale and their eyes become slightly sunken and give off a supernatural glow or sometimes in rare classes become souless black in colour and their cheekbones become more pronounced. Also the fingernails blacken and sharpen, becoming like claws or talons.

They practice a meditation technique that helps them keep in control of their more darker urges. They can also set things on fire if desired or subdue their victims with even a simple touch.

Many of them often work in shady parts of town such as working as mob bosses and the like, which helps them carry out their specific tasks and missions. As mentioned above, it is mentioned that Grimms have a spiritual connection with them and in a way act as potential allies.

It is said that sometimes removing their hearts is a way to kill them. Sometimes they can be seen in groups often sitting in a crouching position that is made to simulate a bird-like stance -  this position is known as 'perching'. This is a good idea. I like it. Here's a cool idea. I'm just suggesting this, but to me this would be cool if a Rachsuchtig/human hybrid is called a Puer Autem Cecidit (Latin for Child of the Fallen), but humans mostly know them as the Nephilim.
