Azrael is the Archangel of Death, first encountered within The Black Throne in Darksiders. Azrael also serves as the narrator for the introduction of the game.
[edit] Overview
Azrael was one of the leaders of the Angels and a loyal servant to Abaddon. He is partially responsible for the breaking of six of the Seven Seals, and the pre-mature start of the Apocalypse.
[edit] Darksiders
When War first finds Azrael in the Black Throne, he is imprisoned and War must free him in order to progress to fight Straga. War will have to travel to three of the towers within the Black Throne, defeat the three guardians, and use the Voidwalker to send the beams of light back to the main room where Azrael is imprisoned. After successfully shining all the beams back at Azrael, he will break free and this will lead War to face off with Straga. After War frees Azrael, he warns him that he will kill all those who destroyed the balance. Azrael understands his role in the tilting of balance and is ready to be punished for his crimes.
Once War defeats Straga, Azrael will open open up the Well of Souls, allowing War to reach Eden. It is here where Azrael will give War the Mask of Shadows. War will then have to battle with Shadow War before he us allowed to reach the Tree of Knowledge.
Azrael will tell you that the Armageddon Blade is real and you will need to collect the Armageddon Blade Shards in order to reforge the blade. Azrael will admit that Abaddon had manipulated him to destroying six of the Seven Seals, in order to destroy Hell. Abaddon purposely did not want the Seventh Seal broken, as this would prevent any interference from the Horsemen.
After War acquires the Armageddon Blade, he will return to Azrael, who leads war to The Destroyer's lair.
