A powerful, belligerent efreet. (Is there any other kind?) “And Allah said, ‘As thou the deed hast done, so now the office shall be thine, O Azrael, to gather up for me the souls of men and women when their time has come; the souls of saints and sinners, of beggars and of princes, of the old or young, whate’er befall; and even though friends weep, and hearts of loved ones ache with sorrow and with anguish, when bereft of those they love.’ So Azrael became the messenger of Death.” -J. E. Hanauer, _Folk-lore of the Holy Land, Moslem, Christian and Jewish_. 1907.

Useful Info

Azrael the Boundless Flame is a unique efreet, often accompanied by several hell hounds and fire elementals. Like all efreets, he comes armed with a flaming scimitar, but he's much happier hitting you with his wide variety of Fire Magic and damnation spells while his pets do their work.

Tips & Tricks

• As a demon, he is immune to silence. Fire resistance will defend against most of his spells and melee attacks, but nothing will protect you from his [[damnation]. Also, his allies are all immune to fire, so don't think he'll just wait patiently in the back row to throw his fire spells.
• If you've got good stabbing capabilities, take advantage of the fact that he can't see invisible.
• He has poor evasion and is vulnerable to cold, so a wand of iceblast can deal decent damage quickly. It has the added benefit of tearing through his allies in short order.
