They're "divine beings". Think of them like the Holy opposite to monsters. They're servants to the gods in general, whether that means ferrying messages or handling other business the gods don't want to handle directly.

EDIT: For instance, the Valkyries guide Heroes, and one could probably also expect serve as soldiers should the Heavenly Hosts have to engage in open warfare.
