My apologies~ Trailing-light wings was the best I could come up with to represent Halsey's benevolent/angelic/paladin nature as well as his growing strength in the arcane arts. They are suppose to be pure distilled magical essence that just... flutter behind him when he doesn't need to draw on his reservoir of power. Think of them as portable mana-potions.
And while I'm at it, I guess I can give you all some more detail on his armour because I'm already typing out this post.
His armour is painted a pearly-white with gold-trim as this colour scheme is most commonly used to represent those fighting for a good cause/drawing on powers of faith. Gold is used due to its magical properties [[as in how easier it is to get a high-level enchantment on gold tools/armour]] and also for its relative softness. Unfortunately, my scanner is stupid and couldn't quite get the level of detail I wanted... those scribbles on the trim? They're actually composed of a runic alphabet with various phrases that are etched onto the trim to enhance his defences against the physical and ethereal.
The gear in the middle of his chest is an acknowledgement to a great warrior - now known as a Saint - with the family name of 'Gearheart' who has made it his life-long purpose to combat the darker forces that have targeted humanity and who has given up his life to combat a highly dangerous demon. The moon inside the gear shows that he is from the Order of the Silent Selene, whose symbol is a waning moon.
The tower shield is made out of pure iron - no wood-backed shields for Ironvalians! Their equipment is top-tier and of very high quality. The shield is as ornate as the rest of his armour, with swirling designs engraved onto the face of it. Resting in the middle of the shield is another large gear with a waning moon in the middle, mirroring the crests in the middle of the breast-plate.
Aaaaaaand... that should be it, I think. Any more questions or comments? ;P
