Azazel (Hebrew: עֲזָאזֵל "ʿĂzāʾzēl", Arabic: عزازل Azāzil, Japanese: アザゼル Azazeru?) is the main antagonist of Tekken 6. Azazel is an ancient demon that was sealed away under the earth. It was foretold that it would awaken again in times of war and chaos. Azazel is the second Tekken villain, after Ogre, not to be a blood relation of the Mishima Clan, although it is connected to them through the Devil Gene. Azazel remained alive by existing in a spiritual form within Zafina's arm after the events of Tekken 6 and during Tekken 7. He returned in his physical form briefly in Tekken 8 to serve as the catalyst for Kazuya Mishima's transformation into a more powerful Devil Kazuya.
