Personality: Fallen Angel who was swayed by Lucifer's words to betray God's side. His legacy in the human world is being, by word alone, a scapegoat for Humanity's sin. Considered the opposite of God's virtue since then (corruption/sin). General Summary: Azazel is a Fallen Angel who fell due to his lust of human women, resulting in some of the Nephilim. 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. Character Background: In the Bible, the name Azazel ( / əˈzeɪzəl, ˈæzəˌzɛl /; Hebrew: עֲזָאזֵל ʿAzāʾzēl; Arabic: عزازيل, romanized : ʿAzāzīl) 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. As the Catholic Encyclopedia records, this passage explains the ceremony that the Jewish people should perform as part of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. While Azazel does not make another appearance within the Bible, some rabbis have deduced that the name Azazel itself gives away a clue as to its meaning. Azaz meaning ‘strong’ or ‘rugged’, and El meaning ‘God’ or ‘of God’, could be referring to the rugged cliff from which the goat was said to have been pushed by him who has courted it out of the desert in the Jewish text Yoma—Talmudic text detailing the laws of ‘Yom Kippur’ – a Jewish holiday where Jews atone for sins of the previous year. Azazel is mentioned and singled out as being the entity who taught men to make swords, knives, shields, and breastplates. He taught them the metals of the earth and how to use them, before leading them astray and corrupting their ways. While the others spoke about plants, the weather, astrology, and the earth, Azazel is the only one noted as showing mankind the tools he might use for war and battle. He’s also noted as the only angel to lead men away, despite the other angels doing the same thing—though the subject of their information is far more benign than swords and knives. Physical Description Azazel is a fallen angel whose evil influence led to the corruption of humanity. Because he was a leader among the fallen angels, the Jewish Book of Enoch commands its readers to “ascribe all sin” to him. Originally, Azazel was one of heaven’s angels, a gloriously beautiful man with wings on his back. When he sympathized with Satan, he was cast down to earth and became one of the “fallen angels.” Presumably, the evil that he spread as a fallen angel corrupted his beauty as well. By the time he became a major character in Jewish and Christian texts, he had taken on a demonic appearance. Personality Summary: From the start, Azazel was one of heaven’s most powerful and clever angels. When God created man, Azazel revealed that he had a rebellious streak too, as he refused to bow to man and objected, In response to this defiance, God cast Azazel and many other angels down to earth. The punishment didn’t stop Azazel’s rebellion. He became a leader of the Grigori, a group of angels who married mortal women and produced a line of monstrous children. Then, he began teaching evil to humans. He taught men the art of warfare and of weapon-making, and he taught women “the art of deception,” which involved making and wearing cosmetics. Finally, he began teaching humans about witchcraft. As Azazel is associated with the fall from grace, the corruption of humans, and the teachings of warfare, deception, and witchcraft, he shows an inhumane level of intelligence, speech and charm capacity within his personality. The clash between Azazel's innate power and his deep-rooted desire for rebellion opens up possibilities for exploring themes of temptation, redemption, and the blurred lines between good and evil.
