'''Azrael''' is the [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Supreme Grand Master]] of the [[Dark Angels]] and is one of the most secretive of the members of the already very secretive chapter.
==History==
He was recruited from the savages of the [[Feral World|feral world]] Kimmeria but shows none of their uncultivated behaviors. He is best known for, other than his leadership of the Dark Angels, caring for the [[chapter]] banner, the scouring of Truan IX, and crushing a techno-revivalist cult during the [[Faze V Uprising]]. For decades he then disappeared but must have provided suitable services to the [[chapter]] for he later became a member of the [[Deathwing]], [[Captain]] of the 3rd Company and then Master of the Deathwing in 917.[[M41]]{{Fn|2}}. From there, he famously led the assault that slew the [[Daemonically]] possessed [[Governor]] of [[Sephlagm]] before subjecting the world to [[Exterminatus]]. He gained further fame during the [[Vendetta Campaign]].{{Fn|2}} A charismatic and dynamic leader, he was an inspiration to those who fought along side him.
When the previous grand master, [[Naberius]], diedin 939.[[M41]]{{Fn|2}}, Azrael was quickly promoted and given the title '''Keeper of the Truth''' and now sits at the head of the inner circle. He not only leads the Dark Angels in battle but also orchestrates the hunt for the [[Fallen]] and guards the chapter's most precious and terrible secrets, many of which are known only to him and the previous chapter masters before him.
