* ChildByRape: Azāzêl was an unwilling member of Grogar's harem. Despite this, she loves Ramiel deeply and her entire flight from Tambelon was to protect him from his father.



* SupermanSubstitute: It's noted he's basically the Fourth Age equal of Metamare. Like Superman, he's also a superpowered being who was raised by a pair of kindly farmers and became TheParagon and a hero. Emphasized even more when he joined the New Paragons SuperTeam as their 'Metamare' substitute.

Emphasized even more when he joined the New Paragons SuperTeam as their 'Metamare' substitute. Ironic, given he's the son of the local Darksied expy.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Not only is he extremely moral and good, it's believed Ramiel will eventually exceed Grogar in power.
* TheSacredDarkness: He's a God of Shadow, but represents it as a comforting, benevolent version in contrast to his father.

* AchillesHeel: He's extremely powerful and dangerous, but he has one weakness: his Bewitching Bell is tied to a bell in Tambalon he can neither destroy or move. If it's run, his bell is destroyed and the arcane backlash renders him temporally powerless and vulnerable. After his first defeat by the Six Dreamers, this also results in him being banished back to the Realm of Darkness if it happens.

* KryptoniteFactor: Due to being a God of Tyranny, he's more vulnerable to chaos. As such, the Elements of Chaos were able to defeat him during the Dark Ages Crisis. [[spoiler:It turned out it didn't just defeat him, but mortally wound him and leave him SecretlyDying.]]

* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Given Grogar's worldview, it's implied the Empire of Tambelon shares this worldview in general, motivating their conquests. Since Primeval Law forbids them from suppressing free will permenantly, they settle for mass oppression instead.

Grogar (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-1-688347889 here]] is the Fallen Ibrexian god of Dark magic, Shadows, Tyranny, Evil, and a pioneer of dark magic as it exists in modern Equus.

** Due to the huge losses and psychological trauma he inflicted upon the Elternteil Deer Pantheon and their mortal Deer subjects, Grogar became, in their eyes, the ultimate example of all that is dark, evil, and corrupt in both the world and non-Deer sapientkind as a whole. When Grogar came back during the 'Dark Ages Crisis' thanks to [[PsychopathicManchild Mistletoe Dreamer]], High King Irminsul, the leader of the Elternteil Deer, had a severe OhCrap moment. Unfortuantely, in opposing evil, the Elternteil Deer Pantheon became extremely xenohphobic, puristic, and intolerant towards anything that deviated from their definition of 'good', with the present-day Alvslog Deer civilizations became just as bad. It got to the point where Grogar ''praised'' Irminsul for sinking to his level and commenting he always wanted an heir.

* {{Expy}}: Codexverse Grogar draws considerable inspiration from [[ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} Darkseid]]. He even served as an ArchEnemy to Metamare and the Paragons during his return in the Second Age in the same way Darkseid did for Superman and the rest of the Justice League, and was widely considered one of the greatest threats before Metamare rang his Bell and he and Tambelon was banished back into the Realm of Shadows. Fittingly, one of his lines is based on Darkseid's lines to Superman in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''.

{{scapegoat}}.


Added DiffLines:


* AssholeVictim: Due to her MO, her victims are normally genuinely monstrous people who are using her service as an excuse to be more evil and monstrous. As such, many see her more as a very dark AntiHero than a villain.
* ConditionalPowers: Azāzêl can only possess someone if they use her as their scapegoat for long enough without accepting the consquences of their actions.
* CoveredInScars: Her time in Tambelon has left her covered in scars from the many punishments and tortures they inflicted on her.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** In general, Azāzêl targets genuinely horrible people who have squandered their lives on wickness and tries to live their lives as a better person after stealing their bodies.
** She loathes AbusiveParents and makes it a point to see them get their just punishment even if her plans to steal their bodies fail.
** She can't stand rapists, due to having been raped by Grogar while part of his RoyalHarem. Notably, this is one thing that will cause her to flat out ''kill'' one of her marks after stealing their bodies.
* FaceStealer: After she's stolen someone's body, she can transform into them at will. She loses access to a form if she traps someone else in a copy of that form, and they 'age' over time and she'll eventually lose them.
* GenderBender: She has been known to steal male bodies (and in fact escaped Tambelon in one) or assume their forms later. It's noted she's nonbinary and presents as whichever gender her current form is, hence her default pronouns being She/Her.
* GrandTheftMe: She allows someone to use her as a scapegoat, but if they keep doing so long enough or for enough crimes, she can possess them and leave their soul trapped in a copy of her body to suffer the consequences of their crimes anyway. She then steals their life and lives it instead.
* LifeDrinker: When she steals someone's body, she absorbs their remaining life span, increasing her own in the process.
* MamaBear: Azāzêl is extremely protective of children and goes out of her way to be a good parent to the children of a stolen life. Part of why she fled Tambelon was to save her son from Grogar's mechanizations.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: She spent all her life being punished, abused, scarred, and ultimately made a SexSlave by Grogar. As soon as Tambelon returned from its imprisonment, she launched a plan to escape and provided information to heroic forces to help defeat Grogar. When Grogar eventually escapes in the Fourth Age, she instantly forms an EnemyMine with the heroes to help stop him because she hates him and would love nothing more than to see him dead.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Her MO is horrifying and would normally break Primeval Law...but she ''exclusively'' does it to genuinely horrible people who deserve it, invoking a loophole.
* RapeAndRevenge:
** After being made a part of Grogar's RoyalHarem, she was made a very unwilling SexSlave. As a result, when she fled Tambelon, she provided information to heroic forces to screw him over. When Tambelon finally returns thousands of years later, she instantly forms an EnemyMine with heroic forces to help defeat him, stating she would love nothing more than to see Grogar die horribly.
** It's noted due to her past, she ''despises'' rapists and is known to flat out kill her marks once she's stolen their bodies if they've committed it.
* Really700YearsOld: She's actually thousands of years old, but her body stealing and LifeDrinker abilities means she looks the same age as when she escaped Tambelon.
* TheScapegoat: {{Invoked}}: she allows others to pin the blame for their crimes on her and get away with them...but if they keep doing it, she can eventually possess them and leave them trapped in a copy of her body so they suffer the consequences anyway.
* SexSlave: Due to her natural talent and being a Shadow Magic Sorceress, Grogar had her abducted and made part of his RoyalHarem as he tried to sire the perfect heir. She makes it clear she had no consent in the matter and still holds a great deal of trauma from it.
* ZeroApprovalGambit: Part of her MO: allowing others to use her as a scapegoat and play the part of a loathsome villain to activate her body stealing ability, then swap bodies with them and [[LaserGuidedKarma leave them to face the consequences of their own actions.]]

This created a tens of thousands of years long cycle of Tambelon being defeated and banished then returning in 500 years only to be banished again. Gusty the Great finally broke the cycle by stripping Grogar of his power and hiding his bell, leaving him unable to free the city himself for thousands of years until Mistletoe Dreamer helped him escape.
