biography

Azrael was found on the front doorstep of his father’s home one cloudy evening in June. Raphael had been working hard on a case and throwing together the file for court the next day when a knock came on the door. As he opened it, he found a small baby, Azrael, sleeping and had a small note attached to his blanket. The note explained to Raphael that the boy was his son that his mother gave birth to after spending the night with him 9 months earlier. There had only been one woman in that whole year for Raphael, and she had disappeared so soon after their encounter. Yet Raphael believed this note to be true. He went and got a birth certificate for his son and made it official.

Raphael raised Azrael to the best of his ability on his own. He hired a nanny to look after Azrael during the days and for when he had tough cases, but he always tried to make sure that there was time for Azrael in his day. Despite his best efforts, however, Azrael often had to eat meals with his nanny. As a result, Azrael got fairly used to being alone and solitary. He could typically fend for himself regarding cooking and cleaning, with his nanny’s permission and observation. This lasted for several years.

It was a rainy day in 6th grade that Azrael had his first run-in with his mother’s heritage. Monsters had caught onto his scent and started to look for him. Fortunately, a satyr named Ash found Azrael before they arrived to his home in Phoenix. Only barely though. As Raphael answered the door, the monsters could be seen turning the corner to his street and Ash pushed past Raphael and into their home. Quickly he explained to Raphael about Azrael's heritage, and showed him the creatures coming for his son. While Raphael was stunned to learn the true nature of the mysterious woman he’d born a child with, he accepted that his son was in danger and let the satyr take him to Camp Half-Blood to be taught how to fight and defend himself.

Upon first arriving at camp, Azrael felt like an outsider. He was never claimed so like most he was placed into the Hermes cabin, where all the unclaimed campers go. It wasn’t easy feeling like you weren’t wanted by one of your parents. Especially when some of the others had been claimed early on. It took time before he really began to make friends in the Hermes cabin. When he did, they were the few people he felt he could really rely on. Lilythe being one of them.

It was only about a year into his time at camp when the Second Titan War began. As the days lead up to, Azrael was approached by another unclaimed camper named Matthew to join the side of Kronos and betray Camp Half-Blood. Azrael staunchly refused stating that there was nothing Matthew or Kronos could offer him to betray his fellow campers. When the battle started, Azrael joined in, determined to help Camp Half-blood. Azrael saw a lot of his friends on both side fall during the fight. Some of them were killed by his hand. There was barely any time to recover before the Second Giant War, Second Half-Blood Civil War and the events with Nero came. In the span of 3 years a significant amount of trauma was experienced by those at Camp Half-Blood.

After the wars, Azrael began to pull back from his fellow campers a bit. He had been claimed by his mother, Nemesis, and there weren’t many others in his cabin, so it was easy to stay reclusive in there. He would occasionally take a quest when they were offered. As he continued to age, he grew more somber. During one of his final years as a camper, he saw his friend Lilythe become Cabin Leader of Cabin 11, his former home. He was proud to see one of the younger campers he had grown up with take to the leadership role so well.

However, Lilythe had began dating a boy named Shadow. Azrael had a great distrust for him, as he seemed to not have Lilythe’s best interests at heart. This was further complicated by the realization of his own feelings for Lilythe starting to emerge. So, at 18, when he was ready to head to college, Azrael went off to New Rome to attend university there. He cut ties with Lilythe, because it hurt him to see her with Shadow, but he still would write to his other friends like James and Vienna to check on her every now and then.

Azrael finished his undergraduate in Criminal Justice, but couldn’t stop shaking the feeling that he needed to return home to Camp Half-Blood. So he packed his bags and made his way back to the Strawberry Fields surrounding the house, reading to make his way home.

Personality

Azrael has two different sides of his personality. The first and most obvious is a serious outlook on life. He has seen a lot of bad in this world. His outlook can be a bit cynical, and Azrael is not quick to trust others. This became worse after the Titan War where he was forced to kill other Half-Bloods that had betrayed the camp and watch as some of his friends died.

The other part of him, that only those close to him see, is the one who loves the good in the world and can be a bit less serious. Azrael enjoys time with his friends, and he can be funny from time to time with a well-placed witty comment.

Azrael is also a closet romantic. He loves being able to spend time under the stars or at dinner enjoying good food with a lovely lady. There is nothing quite like it for him. It is his 'drug' of choice that he tries not to indulge in too often. Azrael loves very deeply, and it is hard for him to move on from someone once he has decided that he has feelings for them. 

Like all people, Azrael also has his darker moments. Being a child of the goddess of revenge, there is an impulse to get vengeance when those he cares about are hurt. Azrael is likely to only act in the instance where justice does not prevail as he prefers to let things get sorted naturally and not interfere, if possible. Though, when those he loves are truly being manipulated and taken advantage of, Azrael can be a fearsome sight to behold. He is vindictive and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty to take care of things when necessary.
