Archangel Azrael

"Dante is not yours to kill. He has made his own mistakes and must correct them if he wishes to be truly saved. You must not force it on him."
~ Azrael to Damien at the Bone Cathedral
== Biography==
===Early Years===
Azrael is the current Archangel of Death after Samael was defeated and cast from Heaven for his crimes against God. Although not much is known about his life before becoming the Archangel of Death, it is assumed that he was one of Samael's proteges before fighting him and casting him to Hell. Along with Uriel, Azrael was one of those who advocated for the Gatekeepers Zeeviel and Ariel's incarnation as humans in order to fight against the demons and lead the Watchers. Azrael is believed to be Zeeviel's "father-figure" in a sense and trained the Gatekeeper before Zeeviel was incarnated as Damien.
==Appearance==
===Human Appearance===
Azrael has shaggy black hair like Damien, bone-gray eyes, and a neatly-trimmed beard. He is 6'7 in height and has a muscular build, and prefers to wear trendier clothing such as leather jackets, suits, or jeans. 
=== Archangel Appearance ===
As an Archangel, Azrael has six pairs of black wings, and his eyes glow a grayish-white. He usually wears a cloak or light gray battle armor and has a book in which he keeps record of the living and dead. 
==Personality==
While there are few occasions where Azrael is present, it can be inferred that he has a strong sense of responsibility and is devoted to the Father and his angelic siblings. He takes on a paternal role to Damien both when Damien was a human boy and when he was Zeeviel. He also believes that while humans are corrupted due to the events of the Fall, they are good and can achieve salvation if they so desire.
Both Azrael and Uriel serve as unseen guides to the Watchers in their journeys, giving them the assistance they need whenever the Watchers found themselves in danger. Azrael keeps Behemoth at bay when the Watchers were heading for the Eden to find a cure for Aaron, Uriel helps Elijah by distracting Rahab while he was swimming down to find the Lance of Longinus, and both battle the Ziz together.
