### Rizevim Livan Lucifer

Like Vali, Azazel completely despised Rizevim for the latter's atrocious and evil nature. When they met each other in Romania after many years, Azazel was so enraged at the sight of him, that he smashed a nearby wall to vent his anger. When Rizevim was about to be killed by Vali, Azazel gleefully mocked him without hesitation. After Trihexa was revived, Azazel was determined to end Rizevim's legacy of chaos even at the cost of his own life.
