Celestis
The Celestis were the Celestial Intervention Agency, During the Second War in Heaven they removed themselves from the universe to escape the temporal damage.
Nature
The Celestis removed themselves from history and detached themselves from the physical plane of existence, making themselves ideas, and so harder to destroy (harder than a physical body tied down to the timeline).
They inhabited a world outside the normal space time called Mictlan, a place constructed using the Matrix. It existed outside the physical universe. (EDA: Alien Bodies)
The Celestis were split on whom to support during the War: the Time Lords or The Enemy. (EDA: Alien Bodies) They believed themselves gods and aloof from the Spiral Politic. Due to the nature of their existence, they required people to act on their behalf as well as think of them to exist. To do this they often appeared to lesser beings in the form of gods.
