History[]
Season 1[]
Azazel as he first appears in Season 1
Azazel requested an audience with Lucifer. He came at the bidding of the assembled Lords of Hell for their shared goal to defeat Dream of the Endless. They wished to invade the Dreaming, but only at Lucifer's behest. From there, they intended also to take over the waking world and even the Silver City. Since they couldn't leave Hell, they sought to expand its borders until Hell was all there was. With the generals demanding action, Lucifer assured they would act.[1]
Season 2[]
Azazel attempts to claim rulership of Hell after Lucifer abandons it. He joins other claimants like Merkin and Choronzon and kidnaps Nada, Morpheus's former lover, offering her return in exchange for the key to Hell. Dream declines, invades Azazel's domain, defeats him, and imprisons him in a tiny bottle within the Dreaming.
Physical Appearance[]
Azazel lacks a corporeal form. He more so appears as a rift with multiple sets of glowing blue eyes and sharp teeth.
