* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Seems to be his major restriction as Angel Of Death. When Bartleby demands he kill Bethany he explains he can't unless she's done something to deserve it. Although he did nearly kill a secretary for not saying "God Bless You" when he sneezed, so he appears to be able to choose what constitutes a punishment-deserving sin and what doesn't. Although given his MeaningfulName above, the tone in which Bartleby calls him back, and the fact that his gun is [[BottomlessMagazines most likely empty]] He was probably just screwing with her.

* DespairEventHorizon: While it's not obvious due to his snarky PsychopathicManChild ItsAllAboutMe attitude, Azrael in a deleted scene hints that he's an extremely tormented soul full of despair and wanting to end it all because of his pain. While a mortal being might simply mock him as selfish, keep in mind, he was once an angel constantly in the light of God living in heaven. Then he was cast down and eternally separated from the paradise he enjoyed, simply because he didn't want to fight. If that wasn't enough, the souls damned to hell turned the dark void into a nightmare world of agony and torment, fueled by the evil in their souls and the prideful belief that they either won't ask God for forgiveness, or that they are beyond forgiveness. While Azrael is being a dick, he genuinely has suffered terribly.
