In mythology, he is the angel of death.
In Kevin Smith's movie Dogma, he is a
muse, a self proclaimed artist, who refused to fight on either side when there was a war fought between heaven and
hell, he chose not to fight on either side, waiting to see which side won, before deciding where he stood, a
true fence sitter, anyway when all was said and
done, it could be argued that he remained neutral but he was kind of screwed for being such a coward... ln the film he was played by Jason Lee...the same guy from Mallrats who said, say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?
anyway: So after the fallen were banished to
hell, God turned on those who wouldn'
t fight, and Azrael was sent down with the demons.
Azrael: Oh no, I've seen way too many Bond movies to know that you never reveal all the details of your plan, no matter how close you
may think you are to winning.
OR
Azrael: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central
air.
OR my favourite:
Azrael: But I'm a fuckin'
demon.
