Profile

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Azazel appeared first as an event boss, where his summon PG was able to be looted. After the event finished, players were able to obtain his plug-in through the Secret Room instance. His fusion is a triple fusion of Astaroth, Ose, and Pazuzu.

Shin Megami Tensei IV

"A leader of the Grigori, angels that descended to earth to watch over mankind. They lusted after beautiful human women, making them their wives, and taught the humans forbidden knowledge, angering God. Azazel had knowledge of weapons and cosmetics. Men soon learned how to fight, and women learned to be promiscuous."

—Shin Megami Tensei IV Profile

Azazel is fought in the Law-only Challenge Quest Taste of the Forbidden Fruit. He resides in Kiccigiorgi Forest, where he is spreading knowledge to the sons of man just as the Black Samurai did before him. He views Flynn as a puppet taking the shape of a child of man and knows why Flynn is before him. Azazel also considers Flynn a pitiful being for giving up his ability to think for himself before the battle starts.

At the beginning of the battle he mentions that he is merely giving those who seek freedom the knowledge necessary to become free, believing that the sons of man who gain knowledge will have the potential to become greater than Angels. As Azazel is defeated, he will be humiliated at being defeated by a tool of God before crumbling.

Azazel is the true identity of Nishi, the vice minister of Amami City. He battles the protagonist and Nemissa in his office at the Amami Monolith.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

Azazel is one of three Personas only usable in the EX Dungeon. To obtain Azazel, he must be encountered while having Hanged Man Personas Shax, Barbatos, and Adramelech equipped for the purpose of Persona Talks. After activating the special Persona Talk conversations with all 3, Azazel will give his Material Card, "Black Goat", and his encounter rate will drop to zero.

Azazel is notable in that he is the only Persona that Absorbs Magic and Nulls Ailments while having no weaknesses, making him one of the best Personas available.

In Tatsuya's Scenario, he resides in the Tower of Impulse of the Kadath Mandala. He desires to have Maya Amano for himself and is willing to offer anything to have her. When Zula reveals his past he begins to boast about it, but Tatsuya wants the Trapezohedron of Impulse. Azazel then demands for Maya, but the Suou brothers refuse his demands. After fighting him they acquire the Trapezohedron of Impulse and leave the Tower.

Devil Children Red/Black Book

Father of Elegy, he would set a trap for Lucifer that would seal him away before the game began. He then began to impersonate Lucifer and call himself the Demon Lord, as he desired to be the Demon Lord who ruled over all, eventually setting his sights on the Human and Angel worlds. He would deceive many demons into believing he was the real Lucifer and would then unleash them upon the earth to take it over. His identity is exposed by his daughter and Mammon to Setsuna Kai and Mirai Kaname.

Later in the game the two would confront him in the Dark Palace, where he drops his disguise and reveals his true form to battle them with. After his first defeat he begins to question why he ever wanted to rule everything in the first place and believed it was fate guiding him. This empowers him to defeat the two since he doesn't want to be a prisoner of fate, leading to a second fight. After his defeat he expresses awe at the strength of the two Devil Children, telling them their father is in the palace before dying. He can later be recruited in the Deep Hole.

Quotes

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

Persona Talk with Shax

Shax :	Well, well, Lord Azazel... Nice to see you today...
Azazel :	Sir Shax... Your words always smell of lies... Leaving that aside, you haven't shown your face for awhile...
Shax :	Ah, I'm very sorry, Lord Azazel! Uh... I've been having trouble because I was summoned by these humans...
Azazel :	There's no need for an excuse... I have yet to see two of my followers... Leaving that aside... The ones who summoned you... Is that human of any use?
Shax :	Of course, they were able to summon a great demon like me. You can imagine who powerful they are!
Azazel :	Though you are a liar, I must rely on you... I need a human whom I can use to clear my reputation... Sir Shax... Take care of those humans for awhile.
Shax :	As you wish, Lord Azazel...

Persona Talk with Barbatos

Barbatos :	Well, well, Lord Azazel... The last we met was when we hunted in my forest near the river bed...
Azazel :	Sir Barbatos... That was one THOUSAND year ago. You haven't shown your face for so long...
Barbatos :	Was it? Well, I'm very sorry about that... Ever since I was summoned by this humans, my fate has been sealed...
Azazel :	Humans don't live for a THOUSAND years... Very well. I have yet to see one of my followers... The one who has summoned you... Is that human of any use?
Barbatos :	Well, seeing that I have been summoned, their abilities are worthy of praise...
Azazel :	I am delighted to hear that... I need a human whom I can use to clear my reputation... Sir Barbatos... Take care of those humans for awhile.
Barbatos :	As you wish, Lord Azazel...

Persona Talk with Adramelech

Adramelech :	Isn't it Lord Azazel? Oh my, I wasn't expecting to see you in a place like this!
Azazel :	Lady Adramelech... You haven't shown up for some time...
Adramelech :	I, I'm sorry, Lord Azazel... I was planning on showing up but I had been summoned by these humans...
Azazel :	There's no need for excuses... I didn't think you had also been summoned by this human... Hmmm... Hahahahaha... Interesting... Very well, then... It is better for you to use me as your Persona than Lady Adramelech... This is your destiny... You can't run from it... Hahahahahahah... You will be trapped by my power... Bring this to the Velvet Room... The Mtl./Black Goat... You MUST summon me...
