This history does not nearly incorporate all the dealings of this angel, but provides a timeline to the MAJOR events of his existence.

The Second Age

It may be well believed that mankind was heavens only children, this is not so. The Celestials(Angels), were the First race, blessed with immortality and connected directly to the Creator. The Angels were seperated into seven houses to carry out the wonderous work and serve the will of the Light, their creator. Unified, these angels helped form the fabric of all that may be called reality, helping to shape a world of wonders and seperate what "was" from that which "was not".

The Second race were the beasts, and Beastmen. Granted benign intelligence, and mastery over their domains of the wild, they too enjoyed immortality, and Became Aspected to what their guardianships pertained to within the worlds of the Mid realms. They were ruled by the First race for eons, but grew tired of servitude, and rebelled against their mistreatment. This lead to a long war against the Celestials. The Second race put up a valiant effort, but ultimately were no match for the First.

The Third Age

During the dawn of the Third Age (Mankind) many decisions began to split Heaven. Beginning with what was to be done with the Second race. After the war that ended the Second Age, most of the creatures were exiled from the Mid-realms. A select few, who contributed to the preservation of The Light were granted guardianships over the Mid-realms. Thus the origins of the Lycan's and many other beastmen. Those that were unredeemable were banished to the Outer realms where there is no light. Darenzel was an Angel of the First house, and herald of heaven, they were the voices of the Light, and the Hope of Heaven. He had fought valiantly alongside his brothers Azazel and Belial, for the preservation of The Light. After the banishment of the second race, Watchers were needed to make certain the Second race never returned. He volunteered immediatly, the first to take up the honor of safekeeping the sanctity of The Light, and set up his vigilance with a fortification at the borders to the Outer realms. Many battles continued, as the vexed Second race harbored vengeance, and desired above all else to return to the lands of light. Heaven put into motion the rituals to create the Third race, the race of Man. The Celestials had learned a great deal from the rule of the Second race, and agreed to create a more timid and reasonable race. The Light, the creator made these creatures in his image, (not two hands, two legs, etc, but with a miniscule spark of the power that was the creator, infusing them with a power the angels did not have) When the decision was made that Heaven would play no part in the rule of "Mankind", that he would be free to create his own destiny and that heaven would have "No Interferance", Heaven was split. Many of the Angels had fought and died restoring and saving Heaven's strength (Immortals of the First race are eternal, death is a millenia of reforming in the sacred tombs of Carceri, where all Celestials are reborn). Many had sacrificed or lost all their wealth and power to the war, they had been promised to have it all restored once peace was restored. A new Heaven was in order, and their sacrifices were seen as ultimate faith in the Creator, and that such devotion and service to the Light granted no greater reward. Those in Heaven were rattled but not past understanding, they knew that the creator loved them and understood things they never could. It was after Ahrimal, an Angel of the fates, discovered that mankind, was doomed to destroy himself, that he would be consumed by darkness and lost forever, his future was entwined with that of heaven and thus, the Light would Perish! It was upon this discovery that the accumulating agenda's grew to much for heaven to ignore. Ahrimal took his discoveries to the masters of his house of fates, yet they dismissed the dire tidings as "nothing to fear". Aghast, Ahrimal turned to his trusted friends, Belial, Usiel and Lailah, were they met in secret and discussed possible solutions to what the future promised. It was not untill Lucifer, the Morningstar, first among angels, and the voice of god, told them that something indeed must be done to preserve the integrity and peace of mankind, for their first command from the creator was to love mankind as much as they loved him, yet the commandment to never interfere conflicted with the first. Lucifer convinced his fellow angels to approach mankind and offer him the insight, and knowledge of Heaven, to elevate him, so that he could escape the dark destiny. Enraged at their Interferance, The creator ordered they return and face annihilation for defying the Light's will, and that mankind forgoe the teaching of the rebel angels, and a return to what was before. Lucifer Resisted. This lead to the First race's revolt.

Turmoil (The Time of Troubles)

Hundreds of Angels rebelled against these decisions, feeling betrayed by The Light. After the proceeding protests and debates the hundreds of agitated Angels were reduced to dozens. The Revolts became more aggressive, and extreme, nearly warlike. Finally blood was shed and the very first Angel was slain by his own. The revolters found themselves outcaste, and enemies of The Light. The Archangels were formed to Protect Mankind from the Fleeing Succeeders, and they stood resolute watch over the lesser race. The Arch's soon realized they underestimated just how quickly and how far there cousins had strayed from The Light, when more Angels found their death's. The Creator cast them from grace, marring their beauty, their flesh changed to match their hearts, and they no longer were part of The Light.

The War had begun, and it had come to the Mid-realms.

Azazel walked the lands of mortal men, he taught them to build knives, swords, shields and breastplates. He showed them the many metals of the earth and how to work them. He taught the women how to use colored stones to make colors to paint their faces and they delved into wickedness. they fell to fornification, and mankind spilled each others blood. The Archangels were assembled to deal with him, and Raphael was sent to cast him forever into the earth, that he should never see the Light again.

Hunts were organized to remove the Fallen from the Mid-realms and banish them to the Outer realms, The Creator built a barrier on the borders to the Outer realms, to inprison the Fallen banished beyond it. The war to remove the Fallen from the Mid-realms took a very long time, just over two thousand years. The Unity of Heaven gave them the strength to overcome the divided Fallen, who were too selfish to stand together against Heaven's warrior's. Man for the most part was left to his own devices, Heaven was far too preoccupied with their cousins. The Fallen however, had set the stone in motion, they had whispered secrets of the Arcane (a source of power besides that of The Light, that the Fallen created) and taught mankind to find faith elsewhere.

Once the Fallen began to populate the Outer realms, the Second race had leadership, they had unity, but most importantly they had renewed purpose to fight the Angels. The Outer realms banishment was cruel to them. The seperation from the light corrupted them, and degenerated them. They cross breeded, they in-breeded, and they multiplied. They developed hundreds of sub realms out of the darkness, each kingdoms and domains to themselves, and they had warred endlessly. They were now evil and filled with hatred. The Fallen gave them a new target to direct their visciousness. They granted them boons and promises of immortality, and power, for their servitude. The Idea of wrecking the realms of light is all they needed to spur them into a frenzy. The Fallen could no longer cross the void, to return to the Mid-realms, but they discovered ways for the Daemons to do so. With the help of Mankind's understanding of the Arcane power, they now had the ability to summon the Daemons, and commune with the Outer realms, and the Fallen. From their eternal prison the Fallen orchestrated mankind's downfall, and the destruction of Heaven.

Virtue's Ruin

Millenia passed during the Third age's Stryfe, all the while Mankind was slipping further and further into Sin and darkness. Heaven recognized that the Fallen were winning the ultimate struggle, for the souls of Men. The Light called for a taskforce to brave the Outer realms and destroy the leadership of the Daemons, or forever lose the Third race. The Fallen are cunning, wickedly black hearted and malicious. No one understands the Outer realms better then the Daemons and together they crushed the Celestials spirit and numbers. The Angels discovered a poisonous and vicious collection of realms, a foe who had mastered the Arcane power, and a relentless assault on their minds and bodies. Through one tormenting ordeal after another, after heavy losses, and attacks on their hearts, they were given a choice to surrender, and save their brethren, or die in the wastes. The Angels chose salvation. The Fallen were true to their twisted word, and set them free, only to be hunted down mercilessly by ravening Daemons, killing them off one by one, untill a lone survivor was allowed to escape.

       Belial

NOTE: I thought it very important to inform the reader that Carceri (the tomb of the immortals) fell to the Outer realms during further conflicts after the Angels Task force. Carceri was rebuilt as Valara (also known as Valhalla to other religions) much closer to the source of The Light, and all the Celestial's were re-attuned to its magic. Unfortunately for a handful of Angels who were currently reforming at Carceri, they would awaken in enemy territory.

Awakening

Currently

Azazel is a master of possession, and has a long history of forcing his will upon others, only the most powerful minds, or Holy artifacts, can prevent him from dominating his victims. This power was developed as he lay inprisoned within Egypt, buried within the earth, as punishment for defying the Light. He learned to focus his essence outward, and into the bodies of the men and women above.

He is a cunning manipulator, and above all things, desires to bring Babylon down, but having a lot of fun while he is at it. Azazel believes mankind are playthings, and only values lives, so long as they suit his purposes, or further his own agendas.

Xaryah, this young Half Demon may just have the Dark passion and the cunning to tame the heart of this ageless Cassanova. It has yet to be seen whether she has the power to sway his dark heart, but Azazel finds her captivating, and as deliciously manipulative as himself.

RP Notes( Mystics, Mindreaders,etc)

Attempts to read his mind by mortals (Non immortals, Demi-Gods, etc) will always fail, recieving a blank reading. However, he can allow such a reading upon request through RP, its an automatice Celestial defense.

Attempts to read his mind or emotions by Immortals of Divine Origin will discover a malicious, and cunning mind. He has countless schemes in operation to threaten the Light, and bring the mid-realms to its knees. He only values other lives so long as they further his own goals. He loves the realms of men, and interacting with them, and watching them delve into their primal desires. He does however retain a portion of his subterfuge, and can be very silver tongued and even romantic when it suits him to bother. Azazel harbors a DEEP hatred for the Archangel Raphael.

His Origins are ancient, if a scryer is an Immortal of Divine Origin, they may know all that is present at this page about Azazel through "Legend Lore/Past Reading", and his arua radiate's Celestial, though tainted by the Arcane of Falling.

Other Divine Origins may sense the lingering power of the Light, labeling him an outsider. This sensation is unmistakably of wrongness, uncomforting all those around him. They may also discover if particularly talented (level 35+) that is he Brethren to Darenzel, Belial, AND Gabriel.(He does not know about Gabrielle's relationship to himself, nor do his brothers)
