**Azrael** is the True Archangel of Death as well as the one who leads the Angels of Death.

## Overview

Despite being the angel who transports the souls of the deceased to their respective afterlives, he holds a benevolent role. However, he is not the only angel of death as there is an entire garrison of angels of death, including Rahab and Sariel, which Azrael commands.

Azrael makes sure that the souls of the deceased make it safely to the afterlife and provides solace towards those suffering from the death of a loved one. As angels of death are sometimes confused with Grim Reapers, Azrael is often imagined as someone with a hood and a scythe.

Azrael is fierce towards those who do not feel remorse for the wrong things they did when they were alive. He also appears to them to notify that their time on Earth had expired.

If they try to resist, Azrael forcibly takes their souls from their bodies and takes them to Hell, where they will be punished. When Azrael is extracting the soul of a sinful person, that person would feel like every part of him is being pulled while his entire body is being mutilated.

It is said Satan himself turn his tail and run rather than even look at Azrael, seeing his own death the longer the two are in the same location.

## Personality

He gives the souls of the righteous a swift and painless death and the souls of sinners a painful and slow death. His actions are not for his own benefit but rather according to God's will.
