**Azazel** is a Fallen Angel who fell due to his lust of human women, resulting in some of the Nephilim.

## Overview

Azazel is a vigilant who rebelled against God to mate with women on Earth. They corrupted and contaminated the human race, forcing God to interfere with creation. He and his brothers were then imprisoned in the depths of Hell by the archangels and had their children killed as punishment for their crimes.

Azazel reappears in the Apocalypse, and to everyone's surprise, on the side of humanity. After countless conflicts defending human beings from the terrible demons, Azazel and his fallen brothers achieved redemption and were forgiven by God, finally returning home.

## Appearance

In human form, Azazel is a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. He also possesses two feathered wings that grow out from his back. It is described by Enoch to be a never ending black. Azazel's height is 188 cm (6 feet 2 inches) and body weight is [82 kg].

In his Angelic form, Azazel is a colossal humanoid being at least thrice as high as the Everest mountain, with skin darker than midnight. He has a total of three pairs of tattered, flaming black-feathered wings growing from his back; with two cover his face, two cover his feet, and two uses to fly. In this form, his face is described to resemble his regular face, yet possesses such perfect and intricate features that no regular beings could ever have.

In his true form, Azazel is described as an intensely strong light, melting the eyes of people around him with a powerful voice capable of breaking windows. According to some, Azazel's true form is as big as the Mount Olympus.

## Personality

It is hard to determine Azazel's personality as he is laid-back yet serious, while also wise and insane at the same time. His character seems to reflect upon the situation at hand. Azazel loves to collect things, (shown when, after Gabriel introduced him to video games, he collected every console) and a research fanatic, especially on about the functionality of the Universe, something he made a point of teaching humans. He is also shown to be pacifistic, preferring to talk his way out of troubles rather than resorting to violence. He has been shown to care deeply for his fellow Fallen Angels.

Azazel has also been shown to be extremely charismatic, being able to endear his Fallen Angel followers. Azazel has complicated feelings about the fact that many of his friends and acquaintances have all been married to human women and even raised a family. He is also a very intelligent and creation fanatical angel, possessing a vast knowledge of multiverse, primordial wars, and major events in the Universe. He was also very kind and appreciative of the human species, preferring to leave heaven to live among, taking care of his children and teaching humans about a "knowledge that God would not allow them to have". Even after the fall and having spent an incommensurable period of time in Hell, he remains on the side of humanity.

However, there seems to be a hidden former side to Azazel as Shiva told him that he is the most sinister of the Fallen Angels, despite wanting to spread peace.

## Powers and Abilities

Azazel is an immensely powerful angel, being one of the most powerful fallen angels. In ancient times, he was considered a malevolent primordial being, born from the darkness within the Biblical God's heart, manifesting as a Fallen Angel to bring humans, monsters, and gods to their knees for their own sins, with him, in particular, being the sin of the violence of war. According to Zeus, many deities were, and many still are, afraid of his immense strength, as they know they would never be able to rival him in terms of power. Even after being weakened by God after his fall, Azazel still possesses strength greater than many gods.

* **Fallen Transcendent Angel Physiology**: Azazel was once a powerful angel that served the Lord God. He was tasked to watch over Planet Earth, until one day he descended to Earth, taught the humans how to make instruments of war such as weaponry and bred with the females, creating the race of Nephilim. As punishment for this great sin, God stripped him of his title, and he became a Fallen Angel. Despite this, he still maintains most of his immense power, being able to devastate legions of demons or armies of angels with ease. His angelic training granted him such immense combat prowess that he is capable of holding his own against far more powerful entities such as the Archangel Michael or the Archdemon Lucifer.
* **Advance Supernatural condition**: As a seraphim he is extremely mentally and physically powerful capable of overpowering other angels. He also processes information much faster and is capable of comprehending the history of an entire universe in record time.
	+ **Advance super strenght**: During his trial for crimes against God, Azazel managed to break his shackles, which were made out of the strongest metal the angels could forge. He then proceeded to face both Michael and Camael together in combat alone, and actually held them off for a while, but was ultimately subdued. He has also demonstrated himself to be strong enough to destroy planets with his raw strength alone.
	+ **Advance Super Speed**: He is extremely quick and agile in both combat and travel speed, being able to evade Raphael’s attacks and appearing as a blur to a group of angels.
	+ **Immortality**: As a Fallen Angel and a former Seraphim, he is completely immortal, unable to age, and any damage he takes is also immediately healed.

			* **Hellfire Dragon Fist**: He can enhance his physical attacks with hellfire. This grants him a powerful increase to his striking strength, and also burns whatever he hits.
		- **Reality Magic**: Azazel has shown to still be able to manipulate reality, bending time and space and conjuring attacks of pure cosmic energy.
			* **Conjuration**: He once created an entire group of humans with very heightened physical capabilities to act as his private army. He also created celestial weapons and even a small planet to crash into Enoch, along with creating giants.
			* **Subjective Force**: He was once able to forge multiple universes into a single cosmic realm, in order to “play God” and attempt to recreate the human race in his image, demonstrating his immense power over reality but also his great leadership qualities.
			* **Conversion**: He is able to convert things into other things, make something into nothing or nothing into something, as demonstrated when he turned an entire city into pillars of salt during his time as in Heaven.
		- **Light Magic**: He can manipulate light that moves faster than regular light. He can create very complex constructs and very powerful attacks capable of overpowering even powerful celestials.
			* **Arrows of Salvation**: He can create light arrows that track their opponents and plunge into their vital spots for an instant death. He can also adjust the size of these arrows from the size of regular arrows to the size of entire planets.
			* **Light Beam**: He can fire a beam of light from his hand, of which he can manipulate the intensity, from acting like a simple flashlight to being powerful enough to pierce straight through his enemies.

			* **Matter Mold**: He can mold particles into different shapes and form, like turn a suit of armor into a sword or a glass table into a glass chair. He was once able to tear large chunks of dirt out of the ground and compress them into mighty spears which he used to kill a group of angels.
			* **Deconstruction**: With a simple snap of his fingers, he was once able to literally disintegrate a demon by separating all of its atoms from each other.

## History

Azazel's fall from Heaven occurred because he imparted forbidden knowledge to humanity. He taught humans the craft of fashioning weapons like swords, knives, shields, and breastplates. Furthermore, Azazel shared with them the secrets of mining and working metals from the Earth, along with the art of crafting jewelry with precious stones and various tinctures for coloring. Unfortunately, this knowledge led humans to become corrupt and arrogant, as they believed themselves invincible with these powerful tools at their disposal. The corruption that Azazel introduced brought degradation to the human race.

The four archangels, namely Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, witnessed the consequences of Azazel's actions. They saw bloodshed and lawlessness proliferate across the Earth, and this deeply troubled them.

The situation escalated to the point where humans, driven by their newfound arrogance, dared to demand an audience with God and even attempted to raid Heaven itself to uncover the secrets of Paradise held by God.

Recognizing the havoc wrought by Azazel's teachings, God commanded Raphael to bind Azazel's hands and feet and cast him into the darkness. An opening was made in the desert, and Azazel was thrown into it. He was surrounded by rough and jagged rocks, shrouded in perpetual darkness, and forever denied the light. His face was concealed so that he could never see the light again as a consequence of his actions. This punishment served as retribution for the chaos and corruption he had brought upon humanity.

## Myths and Legends

Azazel ("God strengthens" or "Arrogant to God"), also known as Hazazel, Azazil or Azazel, is one of the leaders of the Grigori, a group of fallen angels in Hebrew Lore who married with female humans and in the process produced the Nephilim and a fallen member of the watchers. He was a fallen angel who was offered goats as sacrifices.

Azazel was cast out of Heaven after he taught men how to make swords, knives, shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them; and all kinds of costly stones and all coloring tinctures. Because of this, the humans became corrupted and viewed themselves as invincible with such tools. When God saw what Azazel's actions have wrought he told Raphael to bind Azazel's hand and foot and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert and toss him therein. He would then place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may not see light.

In the Bible, the name Azazel/Azazel appears in association with the scapegoat rite; the name represents a desolate place where a scapegoat bearing the sins of the Jews during Yom Kippur was sent. In Islam he is sometimes considered as the devil before he became a Jinn. In some depictions, he was the angelic name of Iblis.

> Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. He shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting; and Aaron shall cast lots on the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel. Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord, and offer it as a sin offering; but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel".
