 Azazel is a former ruler of Hell, reigning for a time alongside Lucifer and Beelzebub.Based on a statement from Agony and Ecstasy in "Hellblazer" #12, he may have usurped his position from Belial (who they stated at the time was the third member of the triumvirate).He appears as a ragged opening into darkness, full of disembodied eyes and mouths.
