Azazel

**Azazel**, also known as **Hazazel** or **Azael,** is the Chief Governor-General of the Fallen Angel organization - Grigori, as well as the leader of the Fallen Angel Faction following Samael's imprisonment.

He is one of the most famous Fallen Angels in mythology, known as the **Fallen Seraph of Weaponry and Weapon-making**. He is known to the Order of the Iscariot under aliases such as the **Scapegoat of the Tanakh**, **Warden of Mount Dudael**, **Lords of the Watchers**, **Grand Blacksmith of the Fallens**, etc. and many more titles and epithets.

He is known as the **Casanova Fallen Angel of the Grigori** who married with female humans and in the process produced the Nephilim. He is the husband of the Demoness Naamah, the father of Ambrogio and Ambriel Apostolous, and the adopted father of Vali Lucifer and the consort of Sarah Hughes, descendant of King Arthur.

Following the Three Factions Alliance was signed, he became the Chemistry teacher at Kuoh Academy, and was assigned to be the adviser to the Occult Research Club - the base of operation for most of Kuoh Academy's supernatural students.

## Overview

Azazel ("God strengthens" or "Arrogant to God"), also known as **Hazazel**, **Azazil** or **Azael**, 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 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.

## Appaerance

In his human form, Azazel is a tall hansome man appearing in his 20s with a lean and muscular built. He has short black hair with golden bangs and a black goatee. Due to his personal interests, he chose not to regenerate his left arm but rather replaced it with a prosthetic arm created made from his Artificial Sacred research.

During the Three Faction Summit, Azazel wore a V-neck maroon-colored long-coat with a wide high-collar that opened up at the hem. The long-coat also featured two black-belts around the wrists and four black bands on each arm, two of the bands at the wrist and the other two near the elbow. He also wore grey slacks and brown shoes.

When serving as a Chemistry teacher at Kuoh Academy, Azazel wears a knee-length dark-blue blazer with a light-blue dress shirt and black waist-coat underneath. He wears faded-purple slacks and black designer shoes. He also wears a red tie. Azazel's height is 188 cm (6 feet 2 inches) and body weight is [82 kg]. He possesses a total of twelve black-feathered wings on his back, which are described by Vali Lucifer to be a never-ending black.

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.

## Personality

It is hard to determine Azazel's true personality and motives. Despite being mainly seen as laid-back and a little bit insane, he could be reflective of the situation at hand and become serious and wise. He loves to collect things, as shown when he collected every gaming console after he was introduced to video games by Issei, and is a research fanatic, especially on Sacred Gears. He is also shown to be a pacifist, preferring to talk his way out of troubles rather than resorting to violence. He has been shown to care deeply for his fellow Fallen brothers and sisters.

Azazel is extremely sly, cunning, and charismatic, being able to charm anyone he comes across easily. He has complicated feelings about the fact many of his friends and acquaintances are all married and have a family, often reminding him of the family he used to have with Naamah and his children.

He is also perverted, as Shamhazai stated to have had hundreds of harems of gorgeous female over the millennia. Even before he Fell, he was already a pervert as he would fantasize about touching/seeing Gabriel's breasts, as evident when he encouraged Issei to use Dress Break on her. Naamah accused him of thinking about other people when he was still married to her, something he neither denied or admitted.

Azazel is very compassionate as he would do whatever he can to help people in need. He cares a lot about his two children, even willingly Fell just so that he would be able to avenge them, as well as risking his life to go on a journey to cure their demonic blood poisoning. Ambrogio admitted that despite him being a "perverted overprotective good-for-nothing dad", he wasn't that "good-for-nothing".

When he learned about the immense abuse and cruelty Vali suffered by his father and grandfather, he had no hesitation in adopting Vali and care about him as his own, after being restricted by the entire Grigori in order to stop him from destroying the entire Underworld and the Devil-kind as a whole.

Azazel is a weapon fanatic, being regarded as one of the greatest blacksmiths, and the greatest weapon-maker, of the Fallen Angels. He personally developed most of the weaponry and technology used by the Grigori and was the first Archangel to be able to mimic the Abrahamic God's Sacred Gear System and created the Artificial Sacred Gears.

He also has the habits of collecting rare weaponry and Sacred Gears, as shown in Grigori when he personally tracked down and killed the past wielders of the Vritra Sacred Gears just to perfect his collection, before one escaped him and allied themselves with the Church.

Despite his overall good qualities, Azazel also possesses a cruel and sinister side to him. As pointed out by Shiva, he was once the cruelest and most bloodthirsty out of all the Cadres, who enjoyed corrupting mankind and gods alike in order to see them fell to the depths of depravity and got crushed in agony and despair - something that he deemed more entertaining than anything else.

Azazel possesses a twisted and sadistic side to him, as revealed in Underworld. He enjoys the sufferings of the innocents, which he himself felt ashamed of and tries his best to hide it from others. He revels in the misfortunes of the less fortunate, and prospers in the pain and agony of miserable, lonely, and depressed. However, due to Azazel's genuine desire to become a great father for Vali, he has been going to therapy sessions by Araikhael to become less and less "terrifying".

## History

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. The corruption brought on by Azazel and the Grigori degrades the human race, and the four archangels being Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel were stated to have witnessed much blood being shed upon the earth and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.

The humans even went so far as to demand the angels above to have an audience with God, and to raid Heaven itself in order to learn the secrets of Paradise and the ones that God holds. 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.

Thanks to Shamhazai, Azazel was freed by his prison to along with Shamhazai and Satanael founding the Grigori Organizations for Fallen Angels that don't follow Lucifer or Satan. During the Great War between the Three Factions, the Fallen Angels were the first to retreat due to Azazel's order after he had lost many of his subordinates. After retreating from the Great War, Azazel started to research Sacred Gears, creating Artificial Sacred Gears and other objects related to them.

During his punishment, Azazel managed to seduce one more women, an English witch named Sarah Hughes, who was destined to release Yog-Sothoth from the Outerverse. During Judgement Day, it is said that those who followed Azazel's ways by misusing the purpose of weapons such as swords, will be cast into a lake of fire alongside Azazel himself.

He also made a contract with one of the Seven Great Dragon Kings, Fafnir, during his research and created his own Artificial Sacred Gear: the Down Fall Dragon Spear. At some point, before the series begins, Azazel found a young Vali Lucifer who had been abandoned by his parents, took him to Grigori and taught him how to properly use his powers along with his Sacred Gear while raising him.
