The Great Race

"The Great Race ... waxed well-nigh omniscient, and turned to the task of setting up exchanges with the minds of other planets, and of exploring their pasts and futures. It sought likewise to fathom the past years and origin of that black, aeon-dead orb in far space whence its own mental heritage had come – for the mind of the Great Race was older than its bodily form. . . The beings of a dying elder world, wise with the ultimate secrets, had looked ahead for a new world and species wherein they might have long life; and had sent their minds en masse into that future race best adapted to house them – the cone-shaped beings that peopled our earth a billion years ago."

Necronomicon

"The Watcher is described as a member of a separate race of being neither Ancient One nor . These amoral (or, at lest, apolitical) entities are supremely powerful, but hire out their services for the price of a monthly sacrifice. As such, they may be considered the mercenaries of the astral plane.
A mystic can hope to require the services of The Watcher by performing their conjuring ritual – which requires knowledge of conjuration, ritualism, and the three proper elements to be burned for monthly sacrifices. One may also be required to be a disciple of the Elder Gods. Though this is not proven.
Note that no blood offering of any kind is required. The burnt offering of the Three Elements is satisfactory and sufficient for the purpose. A blood offering to the Watcher may be made, but that serves to render the Watcher extremely violent and uncontrollable and may lead to the destruction of the magician in a blind lust for blood.
The one who summons the Watcher must be the same person who scarified to the Watcher.
The sword is the symbol of the Watcher, for it represents this force in one of its four forms, the Spirit with the Flaming Sword . The others are: a Dog (like Anubis, a guardian); a man in a long robe with eyes that never lose their stare; and sometimes as the Enemy. Should the magician deny The Watcher his monthly sacrifice – or otherwise offend The Watcher in someway.
There is no reasoning with any of the called by the generic term “Watcher”. They abide by the letters of the Covenant. If any attempt is made to evoke them when a sacrifice has not been made within the space of a month, they will turn on the magician instead. That’s all we know of the Watcher. There is no higher court to which we can appeal our case in the event we make a mistake; retribution is swift and final.
(To clarify: the destruction of the magician by the Watcher can occur in different ways, although all are swift and irreversible. It can be immediate, during the Rite itself, or can take place as a slow feeding on the body of the magician by the Watcher as all life is drained from the magician. Various illnesses arise, of uncertain provenance, which cannot be cursed. ) The Lord of the Watchers is a being that dwells in the realm of the Igigi; in other words, beyond the planetary zones and in the realm of the fixed stars, outside out solar system and only watches and never raises the Sword of fights the Idimmi – save when the Covenant is invoked by none less than the Elder Gods. It is said that some of the Race lie waiting for the Ancient Ones to once more rule the Cosmos, that they may be given the right hand of honor, and that such as these are lawless.

This is what is said."

The Book Enoch

"The term "Watchers," is common in the Book of found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Book of the Watchers is the name for one section of the book (1 6-36). It occurs in the Aramaic fragments in the phrase irin we-qadishin, "Watchers and Holy Ones", known from Aramaic Daniel. The Aramaic irin "watchers" is rendered as "angel" (Greek angelos, Coptic malah) in the Greek and Ethiopian translations, although the usual Aramaic term for angel malakha does not occur in Aramaic . The dating of this section of 1 Enoch is around 2nd-1st Century BCE. This book is based on one interpretation of the Sons of God passage in Genesis 6, according to which angels married with human females, giving rise to a race of hybrids known as the Nephilim. The term irin is primarily applied to disobedient Watchers who numbered a total of 200, and of whom their leaders are named, but equally Aramaic iri ("watcher" singular) is also applied to the obedient archangels who chain them, such as Raphael (1 Enoch 22:6)."

The Extraterrestrial from the "Blue Area of the Moon"

"The Watchers are one of the oldest species in the universe, and are committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe. This policy of total non-interference came into existence due to a former, well-meant attempt by the Watchers to bestow advanced knowledge on the Prosilicans who used the nuclear technology gained to create weapons and destroy itself. When the Watchers returned to Prosilicus, the survivors blamed them for the catastrophe by giving the Prosilicans nuclear technology before they were ready for it. The Watchers then took a vow never to interfere with other civilizations."
