Archons in Gnosticism and religions closely related to it, are the builders of the physical universe. Among the Archontics, Ophites, Sethians and in the writings of Nag Hammadi library, the archons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm.
The political connotation of their name reflects rejection of the governmental system as flawed without chance of true salvation.
In Manichaeism, the archons are the rulers of a realm within the “Kingdom of Darkness”, who together make up the Prince of Darkness.
In the Hypostasis of the Archons, the physical appearance of Archons is described as androgynous, with their faces being those of beasts.
