In Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, the Angel of Death who brings souls from the living world to the afterlife.
From Hebrew Azrael (God helps) or Azra'il (angel of death), combining Azra (help) + El (God). The name appears in medieval Jewish texts and became prominent in Islamic theology.
Azrael appears in countless stories, poems, and even cartoons as a symbol of death, but interestingly, in many traditions Azrael isn't evil—just doing a job, which makes the figure more complex than the typical 'grim reaper' archetype.
