Real-world considerations

  • Spelling note: Azrael.
  • Azriel and Azrael are etymologically related but are documented as distinct forms (Azriel biblical/Hebrew Bible, Azrael post-biblical angelic legend); parent-facing sites sometimes conflate the two, which this profile treats as separate though closely linked names.
