Azazel serves as the captain of Pandemonium's special forces, the Grigori Squad. A former cherub, he is a veteran demon in the Pandemonium, rivaling Beelzebub. As a member of a special forces unit, he has a well-built physique and a physically imposing appearance.

② His hobby is collecting bears? A girl's hobby

Azazel's hobby is collecting bears. However, by "bears," he doesn't mean real bears, but stuffed animals. While bears seem to be his main focus, he also collects stuffed animals like elephants and rabbits. He particularly likes vintage stuffed animals from the 1930s. His love for stuffed animals has led him to make his own. Azazel is so dexterous, he's even started cross-stitching recently.

③ I Love Animals!

Azazel's hobby is collecting stuffed animals, including bears and elephants. He also seems to love animals. He even read a book with a cute cover called "101 Dalmatians of Flanders." Furthermore, it seems that the pancakes he always eats at the cafeteria are custom-made for him, with bear ears and a face on them.

④ He's not good at talking and is not good at speaking

Azazel is not good at speaking and rarely speaks. When communicating, he writes on something like a flipboard and shows it to the other person to communicate.

⑤ Myurin's idol

Murin, a servant of Beelzebub, the lord of the Demon Palace, was feeling unreliable when she met Azazel. While walking and feeling troubled, she slipped down the stairs, and Azazel caught her as she fell. Upon seeing Azazel, she was captivated by his well-trained physique, undeniable generosity, and fierce gaze, and began calling him "big brother." He is someone she looks up to.

⑥ I also love cute things!

Azazel looks like a reliable, grown-up man, but contrary to his appearance, he seems to love cute things. When Myurin fell, he once gave her a bandage with a rabbit and carrot on it. She also borrowed books from the library, such as "Happy Horoscopes Taught by the Stars." Azazel's love of cute things is another charming trait that contrasts with her appearance.

⑦ Be open to opinions

When she went to meet the shy and reserved demon Belphegor, she mistakenly thought he had run away in fear. Belzebub and Murin, thinking that Azazel looked scary, dressed him in a dog-eared headband and maid outfit. She also took Murin's suggestion to soften her tone and added "nyan" to the end of her sentences. She seems to be the type to readily adopt any suggestion.

 

⑧ A Kind Heart

Belphegor was dozing off on a bench in the courtyard. Azazel, who happened to be passing by, noticed a slight breeze and worried that Belphegor would get cold if the weather continued. However, Azazel realized that Belphegor would be frightened if he woke him up, so he brought a handmade patchwork from his room and draped it over Belphegor along with his own jacket. He's a kind and considerate person.

9. Do you sometimes overthink things?

Azazel is a kind and caring character who sometimes overthinks things. This happened after Belphegor, drunk, confessed that he wasn't afraid of Azazel. Azazel had always mistakenly thought that Belphegor was afraid of him, so after he found out that he wasn't scared, he began to actively call out to him. However, when he saw that Belphegor was reacting in the same frightened manner as always, he began to worry that maybe he had been mistaken about not being afraid, and that if he got too familiar with him, he would end up scaring him even more than before, so he ended up walking away to avoid Belphegor. It seems that sometimes his kindness causes him to overthink things.
