The 5e Statblock for the Black Tear Seraphim for those seeking ideas for their campaign. I've tried to shorten descriptions due to character limits.

Life Sense: The Fidia has a Blindsense that only picks up on non-Undead, non-Construct creatures within a number of feet equal to triple its Wisdom Score, rounded down to a multiple of 5.

Legendary Resistance (2/Long Rest): If the Fidia fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Innate Spellcasting: The Fidia can innately cast the Sacred Flame cantrip, targeting a 10ft cube instead of a single creature. It can also cast Guiding Bolt at 3rd level, and Sickening Radiance at 4th level. It is always under the effect of a Crown of Stars (At base 7th level), and it can make ranged attacks with the Crown's stars under the normal rules of the spell. The Fidia's Crown of Stars effect renews after a long rest. _Abilities_ Multicast: The Fidia uses Guiding Bolt, Sacred Blaze or Sickening Radiance, and if has at least one use remaining, Crown of Stars. Guiding Bolt: +14 Ranged Spell Attack, 120ft range, Single target, 6d6+6 Radiant damage, a successful hit causes the next attack roll against the target, made before the end of the Fidia's turn, to gain advantage.

Sickening Radiance (1/Short Rest): 120ft range, 30ft Sphere, Concentrate 10 min, DC21 Con Save or 4d10+6 Radiant damage, 1 level exhaustion, and nullifies invisibility. Crown of Stars (Bonus Action, 7/Long Rest): +14 Ranged Spell Attack, 120ft range, Single target, 4d12+6 Radiant damage. Beacon of Command (Legendary Reaction, 1/encounter): At the beginning of an encounter the Fidia tou Theou deems a major threat, it emits an eldritch glow and howls to garner the attention of nearby Infected. A d20 is rolled, if the result is a odd-numbered, 1d3 Ftera tou Theou are summoned to assist the Fidia. If the result is even, an equal number of Pain Cages and Empty Vessels are summoned in pairs, instead. Burning Entrails (Legendary Reaction): Each of the Fidia's serpentine entrails are melee weapons with a range of 20ft, +12 to hit (based on Dexterity), and deal 3d6 Bludgeoning and 6d4 Fire damage on a hit. Once per round, the Fidia may make three attacks of opportunity with each entrail. Each creature that takes damage must also make a DC16 Constitution Save against the Black Tear Corruption oozing out of the entrails, taking 12d6+6 Poison damage on a fail, or half on a success, and becoming Poisoned for 10 minutes. For the duration, a creature Poisoned by BTC has Disadvantage on STR & CON-based attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws, Healing effects only restore half as much HP to the Infected, the target's location is known to nearby Infected, and if the target dies, it becomes Assimilated by the Corruption.
