Thanks for posting this.  Two-three things occur to me immediately:

1) I believe it is canonical that Malphas is a child of David, having been 
the Angel of Fractures for a time.

2) It strikes me as odd that Michael, being the Firstborn and all, has no 
children in this list.  I would actually have Jordi be Michael's kid; it 
helps explain why a Kyrio might be aggressive. Also, I believe it took 
Michael to dissaude Jordi from culling humanity, back in the day (if I'm 
remembering right).  Story-wise, this is great -- Jordi resents dad, so he 
partners up with the Archangel most opposed to him -- Novalis.

3) Speaking of Novalis, I usually like to imagine her being from David. 
Plants coming from the Earth and what not.  In this arrangement, Novalis 
is the one who most mourns the loss of David's original Cherub nature, and 
tries to remind him of it often.
