## Physical Description

### Azazel: In the Beginning...

The true identity of the angel that would become the Third of the Fallen is lost to the lore. By the decree of the Divine Tribunal which punished the angel, their name and grace and even the memory of them were taken from them before they were cast into Hell. Like all of the Fallen, their wings were cut from them as they were tossed into depths of the infernal wastes of the Void. It was here that the infernal storms of essence tore what remained of their supernal body without their grace to protect them from such raw surges of magic.

All that is known of this angel before their punishment is they were one of the three highest ranking angels that pledged themselves to Samael in the Morningstar Rebellion and acted as his generals, all of them from the Order of Principalities. Following the punishment of this angel, whose punished screams were said to be the most disturbing sound any angel had ever heard, the Presence ordered that no other angel suffer the same fate as that which had become of the first of the three Fallen.

### Azazel: A New Beginning...

As the Fallen that survived the fall to the infernal wastes recovered from their injuries, adapting to the infernal energies which now nourished them (with great pain and discomfort) they begin to take new names and established themselves as the leaders of the race which would become known as the Hellions when Samael joined them and gave the infernal wastes a name — The Kingdom of Hell.

Samael took a new name. He called himself Lucifer Morningstar. And because they had no memories of their own name, nor could Lucifer recall what they had once been called, the Fallen began taking new names. The first three Fallen once again became Lucifer's closest allies and took new Enochian names: Satan (meaning "Adversary"), Abaddon ("To Perish by Destruction"), and Azazel ("The Downfall of God")

Azazel was always known to be ambitious, chaotic, antagonistic at all times. This fervor made him one of favorites of the Hellions and the more chaotic masses of Hell, as opposed to their measured king, the calculating First of the Fallen, and the much more reflective Second of the Fallen. And over time, began to give Azazel ideas.

His first big goal was planning the apocalypse — bringing about the end of Earth in a great war between Hell and Heaven. To this end, he fathered Naamah to act as his agent on Earth and current alliances with Nergal. Many centuries later Azazel would father Anung Un Rama with a witch, planning to use his son as a key to unleash the apocalypse. Thankfully, Lucifer put an end to this plan before Azazel's son could end it all.

When Lucifer abdicated, Azazel became determined to become the next king. But he forgot his place, insulted Dream, and paid the price for it.

But Azazel is far from helpless. Even from his humbling prison, Azazel is able to breed an army and plot infernal sieges of Earth's cities.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Azazel does not hold a Physicality rating due to his lack of having any sort of physique. When he manifests on Earth in his true form, he is a sentient spatial abnormality with floating nightmarish faces. Likewise, he does not have a Range rating as he is currently confined to a jar inside the Dreaming. But with a host, Azazel can overcome both restrictions.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### General

* Before his banishment he was considered to be a great rabble-rouser.
* He and Abaddon had an affair in ancient Mesopotamia during a chance encounter while the pair were both conducting business on Earth. He abandoned Addadon before birth of their daughter Asa.
* He took part in a fight over Magdalene's soul.
* Azazel always craved power but had little head for politics. Azazel was usually content to release his title as Third of the Fallen in favor of corrupting mortals, but did reclaim his title briefly over thirty years ago to challenge Lucifer's decision to give ownership of Hell to Dream of the Endless. Opposing Dream's decision to give the various Lords of Hell pieces of Lucifer's wings to ensure a stalemate of power, Azazel attended a meeting of the Lords of Hell held at Dream's castle in the Dreaming. While there, Azazel famously insulted Dream at the gathering. When Dream reminded Azazel that he was a guest in the castle and would do well to respect his host, Azazel rejected the hospitality and thus freed Dream to unleash his full fury upon the demon. Azazel is rumored to be kept contained inside a jar in the Dreaming's library ever since, a mere trinket gathering dust.
* Despite being in a jar he's still able to possess people and create artificial cambions for his dark plan.
* At one point he possessed Bill Harvelle.

#### Grigori

* The cambion he creates are called Grigori. His Grigori are called the Grigori of the Golden Gaze.
* Among his Grigori are Grigori Rasputin, Karl Kroenen, Ilsa Haupstein, Andy Gallagher, Ava Wilson and Sam Winchester.
* She possessed Yefim Rasputin's body and named his newborn son Grigori as a cruel joke signaling his dark intent. Officially the boy was named after the St. Gregory of Nyssa. He nursed the child with the father's blood and ritualistically murdered Grigori's older sibling and using the power of that death to plant the seed for Grigori's transformation. He mentored the child. In 1891 he finished his transformation.
* He turned Ilsa Haupstein into a Grigori when he used her uncle to spill blood on her and cause his death in a struggle.

#### Anung Un Rama

* He gave power to Sarah Hughes. Some time later Sarah tried to forsake her demonic pact in East Bromwich church. Azazel killed everyone inside and took Sarah to Hell where she would become the mother of his son. He named him Anung Un Rama ("and upon his brow is set a crown of flame") and then immediately proceeded to chop off the newborn's right hand to replace it with the "Right Hand of Doom", an ancient relic of destruction said to be tied to the Book of Revelation. When Lucifer and the other Princes of Hell learned of Azazel's actions, they feared that Azazel might be plotting to overthrow them. So a scheme was hatched in which the half-demon child was taken away from his father and imprisoned in the depths of an icy realm of Hell, frozen in magical stasis, where his father could not sense him.
* Belphegor is his close supporter. It is believed that Belphegor secured the Right Hand of Doom for Azazel with Satanus'. He also found Anung Un Rama in Melothm and telepathically informed his witches to summon him to Earth.
* He felt Anung Un Rama's love after he ate some pancakes and knew that he lost him.
* In the late 1960's, his followers stormed all the known safehouses and bunkers of the Men of Letters in Anung Un Rama's search. The result is that the American Men of Letters are more or less wiped out and the British Men of Letters become more focused on preserving their human integrity and elitist superiority and disavowed their American branch.

#### Hell on Earth

* He reached out to Trigon through the witch Grigori Rasputin. He offered help with acquiring power of the Ogdru Jahad. His followers and Rasputin ritualistically prepared seven children for him.
* He possessed Edward Nygma and tricked Albert Davis into performing a ritual which released Trigon and demons into the world. He later possessed Walter Steele and Wally West during the Hell on Earth event.
* During Hell on Earth he met his son again and told him his true name and revealed his purpose as one of the Beasts of Revelation, sworn to aid the Trigon in purging the Earth of humanity.

#### Supernatural

* He is responsible for the death of Mary Winchester and the infernal tainting of her son Sam.
* It's possible he was responsible for a demon attack on John Winchester (in his Charles Wehner identity at the time) and Gertrude Middleton when they were about pick their daughter Celeste from coding camp they where attacked by demons on the road ordered by Azazel. After the attack John faked his death, believing it to be the only way to keep Charlie and her mother safe from the demons.
* His appearances in the world are preceded by signs and omens. John Winchester found a way to to track him using these signs, and Ash Miles managed to create a tracking program.
* On November 29th 2015 he met his Grigori inthe Dreaming.

### Notes

* He's a composite character of Azazel from the Sandman comics (becoming trapped in a jar and his true appearance), Azazel from the *Supernatural* TV Series, and Azzael from the *Hellboy* comic book series.
* Azazel's alias of "Yellow Eyes" comes from his portrayal on the *Supernatural* TV show.
* In his Yellow Eyes portrait he is possessing Bill Harvelle who's appearance is based on Fredric Lehne, one of the actors who portrayed Azazel on the show.
