Azrael is the Archangel of Death, according to Christian, Judaic, and Muslim beliefs. His role as Archangel is to ease people into death by teaching them to not fear it, but rather to embrace it, for death is only the beginning of the life of our souls. He also has the authority to stop the death of someone, but only if it is caused by divine intervention. Azrael teaches us acceptance, and is very kind, quiet, and solemn in his work.
