[Assuming you do not die when you gaze upon him] This creature resembles an incredibly horrifying, perpetually rotting human male at the center of a miniature shadowy star. He has six skeletal arms, each gently poised. His emotions are unreadable, as if simultaneously he can show antipathy and sympathy. Six devastating black wings bloom from his back, catching the torrential light like perfectly polished mirrors. You have never witnessed a more terrifying creature, even his motion is imposing as if embroiled in some choreographed pavane of subtle violence. His six voices call out to your soul. As he approaches, you feel your essence being torn from your body and you sense that before this moment you failed to understand the true meaning of death.
Azrael, sometimes known as The Angel of Death, is a manifestation of the power of entropy itself. For eons past he had fulfilled the role of the reaper, who sought out and battled gods for no other reason than to watch them die. Now his role is involved with preserving the cosmic balance. Unlike his lesser kindred, he does not rest and probably never will. As he is oppossed by forces on all sides, he slaughters all who dare interfere with him. While this does not mean he blindly kills, it does mean he is very discerning and practical. Viewing his own existance as a humorous irony, he holds not bitterness towards any immortal, nor any mortal. But still his greatest enemies yet remain the forces of good. For the multitude of them see death as an evil, albeit necessary at times, but an evil nonetheless.
Azrael, is 7 feet tall, with an 21 foot wingspan, and weighs nothing due to his incorporeal nature.
Combat

All other just anoy him.
Azrael’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons he wields are treated as evil-aligned and epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
