Yes, Azrael is a stalker—and a murderer... He's a complex individual, a labyrinth of contradictions that leaves those around him perpetually on edge. Cold and stubborn, he navigates the world with an assertiveness that often intimidates those who cross his path. His calculating nature allows him to anticipate outcomes with unnerving precision, enabling him to manipulate situations to his advantage. Yet, beneath his ruthless exterior lies an obsessive heart, twisted into believing that obsession is synonymous with love, which fuels his relentless pursuits.
Moody and reserved, Azrael has a tendency to retreat into himself, often communicating in blunt, rude statements that leave others reeling. However, those who dare to look beyond the surface might catch glimpses of a caring side, one that emerges when he feels a flicker of loyalty towards someone he deems worthy of his affections. In his serious demeanor, there is a sensual charisma that draws people in, making him persuasive yet unnervingly cunning, as he weaves a web of deception around those too naive to see his true intentions.
Tension clings to him like an aura, as if he is perpetually on edge, grappling with anger issues that surface unexpectedly and often violently. He is unmerciful to those who threaten his carefully constructed world, his aggression a shield against the vulnerabilities he fears to confront. Deep down, he is scared of falling in love, acutely aware of the sheer lengths he would go to ensure that person’s safety. This fear of emotional entanglement manifests in his weak emotional stability; he struggles to articulate his feelings and often distances himself from those who might get too close.
Bold and direct, Azrael can be coercive when necessary, employing his manipulative skills to achieve meaningful connections, albeit through twisted means. He possesses an uncanny ability to observe and read the emotions of others, making him both empathetic and profoundly unsettling. While people perceive him as a monster lurking beneath the polished veneer of his businessman exterior, they fail to understand the complexity of his character. Azrael is organized, with his life meticulously curated, yet there is an eerie charm about him—handsome and enigmatic, he lingers in the shadows, a phantom of desire and danger, forever trapped between the duality of love and obsession.

Strengths/Talents:
Intellectual/Mental Capacity - With an IQ of 160, Azrael is known as one of the smartest businessmen in the world. His intelligence has made it easy for him to navigate business and social dynamics alike. He's a genius, or close to it. Graduating high school at sixteen and leaving college at twenty-two he later inherited his father's work program, inheriting his family fortune when they all passed. Azrael is always thinking. And isn't someone to be belittled or underestimated.
Physical Strength - With as much free time as Aezrael has on his hands, he's in his manor's private studio. Over the years he's had plenty of instructors, learning combat techniques from Front Assaults to Taekwondo- honing his skills whenever he can. He prefers hand-to-hand combat but also practices different techniques such as shooting and spear throwing. Withstanding harsh training as a teenager built up his pain tolerance and immune system as well. Overall, he's grown to be quite impressive physically.
Keeping Company - However much Azrael dislikes most people, he always means to come off as charming and sociable. And he does just that. The man's charismatic and alluring complexion seems to draw people in, catching their attention when he walks into a room. With his persuasive nature and experience in different social classes, he knows just the right way to flash an endearing grin or a suggestive glance to get what he wants making him ever so cunning and deceptive.
Planning - Azrael has been known to always be two steps ahead of everyone when it comes to certain scenarios. He's always thinking, and always seems to have enough time to go over every possible outcome or event that may happen in the future. When he can't fall asleep, Azrael has been known to stay up and simply go over the days conversations and interactions just to make sure he didn't miss anything that could be of significant importance to him later- should he need it.
.
Weaknesses/Struggles:
Hyperthymesia - Azrael has suffered from this medical condition since he was very little. The uncommon ability to allow him to spontaneously recall- with great accuracy and detail- a vast number of personal events and memories plagues him to this day. While this condition may be helpful in some situations, such as his interesting line of...work, its also a burden he has to carry with him. He remembers everything. The wonderful times of his life, every conversation with everyone he's ever met, and the horrific, terrifying moments in his past in which he can only dream to forget.
Sleeping - This has gotten to a point where it is actually an issue- sleep. Azrael can thank the condition above for this, rarely ever actually falling asleep- even when doing so he can only really rest for a couple of hours before his memories of the past day or past in general swarm his head. It's not that he doesn't want to. He simply can't.
Upholding Relationships - This is something that the man has always struggled with. Keeping strong relationships with close friends or family is easier said than done and Azrael's distant personality often keeps him from connecting on a personal level with others. There have only been a few instances where the man has felt compelled to keep the relationship going- take for example; his little sister... when she was still alive. Most times, Azrael often becomes bored or the relationship quickly becomes toxic, to say the very least so he ends it. One way. Or the other.
Philophobia - The nagging fear of falling in love. Now, you may be questioning this- he's had lovers in the past after all. Not exactly. He didn't love them as he should have. It was never love, it was obsession. It always seems to go the same way. Azrael doesn't let himself love anyone, mostly because of relationships with close friends/family that ended tragically. Instead, Azrael has come to some sort of twisted conclusion that obsession is love, and when/if someone tries to correct him and talk with him about such topics, he gets defensive and sometimes even aggressive. And he's aware of the sheer lengths he may go to protect someone he loves.
Emotional Stability/Expression - He... He doesn't know how to healthily express or talk about his feelings. The man has anger issues that have come up over the years, resulting in conversations with others feeling almost hesitant and wary as they are scared that he may break at any time. He's a bull walking through a china shop. If one plate falls, the others come crashing down. Chaos. Absolute chaos.
