Azazel

**Azazel (also know as Azalon** is a Elysian-Homini soldier who was introduced in Asphodel. (Played by *Dylan Battlebreath*)

## Biography

Azazel has no knowledge of his youth at all, his earliest memory is watching someone, most likely his mother, bludgeoned to death in front of him. Azazel has always had his sister Sunona, Nona for short, and though he might look like the guardian and protector of the group, he’s truly flawed.

Azazel worked as a cook at the Merry Maid, he made soups and stews, and occasionally attended to drinks. Azazel prefered to work alone, as his mind could wander quickly with others around him. He wasn’t one to rest much when he was in Hastance, as nightmares were a common occurrence for him. So when the shop closed and the guests went to their rooms, Azazel stayed to fold blankets, iron sheets, and tend to the firepit. He was particularly fond of books, and made himself familiar with a very small collection of stories that the Shopkeeper had.

Sunona encouraged Azazel to find a new hobby after Azazel could recite all the books by heart, encouraging him to go outside and make friends the others in the area. She convinced him that making friends would help with his sickness, and maybe if he found love, the nightmares would go away.

So with much discomfort and annoyance did Azazel find himself in a group of hunters called the Rifle Row, there he learned to hunt alongside his only two friends Arin Linstall and Quinn Macbeth, they hunted all sorts of wild beasts in the forests, spent time on camping trips sharing scary Homini stories about the Sheofolk, and made themselves familiar with an assortment of weaponry. On a full moon, under good heart and a warm fire, did our young Azazel receive the gift of his golden dagger Felheart. The dagger was made by Macbeth’s father, who was a blacksmith, and fashioned with blessings by Arin’s mother, who was a spiritual leader at the time. For the first time in his life, not only did he not feel the need to be alone at all times, but he also had friends, and a lesser dependency on Sunona.

Azazel committed himself to hunting on a daily basis (during a short time before Sunona fell in love with Moses) and with it did he make jealous the king’s huntsmen. Under the bet of the Chief, Azazel was asked to collect the heart of a white bear by the name of Timmorus which lived in a cave not too far into the forest depths. With the help of his friends, and the blessing of Sunona, Azazel struck a deal with the huntsmen, in exchange for a position on the Royal Hunt.

With the help of the Rifle Row, and a newfound courage in him, Azazel retrieved the heart of Timmorus and with it did he earn himself a position on the Royal Hunt. Despite his newfound nobility and stature, Sunona refused to join him the upper echelon, stating that she could not leave behind the Shopkeeper and his wife without a hand to help after all that they had done.

Azazel received a new name “Azalon” in exchange for devotion to the court. And it wasn’t long before he fell in love with Lord Vinnkiel of Histance. Vinnkiel and Azazel shared the same problem, they both thought they were crazy. Instead of treating each other like lunatics, as others had done before, Lord Vinnkiel treated Azazel (Azalon) as a regular human being. It was commonplace for Vinnkiel to send Azazel new teas and scents to help calm his anxiety. In Lord Vinkkiel’s manor, Azazel (Azalon) put up purple and blue colors to alleviate his stress. The two were a very private couple, and any words of gossip that spread across Histance were weeks old by the time they reached anyone of importance.

Azazel’s paranoia and nightmares became more of a problem on the death of his friend Arin Linstall, Lord Vinnkiel summed healer after healer to work with him, but none of them could treat his sickness. So Lord Vinnkiel sent for Sunona to side him, which worked for some time. And with a few years, he returned back to a stable mindset.

Lord Vinkiell and Azazel decided to have child with the help of a midwife. And after long hours of prayer to forgotten gods and several sleepless nights, Amin was born on November 21st, 7113. Amin was the only real thing Azazel needed to get by. He raised Amin on the olde ways of the shopkeepers, with manners, and respect, kindness and humility. Amin grew up learning how to ride horses whilst waking up at five in the morning to hike with Azazel. Sunona quotes Azalon and Amin’s relationship as, “A beautiful moment of peace, in what would be a hollow and endless life”

Amin grew up to be twenty years of age, when he and his father Lord Vinkiell, died in a tragic carriage accident outside of Histance. Azazel, so heartbroken of his child and his husband, renounced his nobility and returned to Sunona and the Merry Maiden before joining Malleville as a Child of the Third Divine.
