==History==
Azazel is a [[Demonology|yellow-eyed demon]], one of the Generals of Hell commanding the [[demon]] armies of [[Hell]],<ref name="essential" /> and seemingly the only one still active by 2007. Azazel planned to bring his army of black-eyed demons forth from Hell to unleash upon the world in preparation for the [[Apocalypse]].<ref name="two22" /> The [[demon]] [[Casey]] described him as a "tyrant" who nevertheless held the demon army together; without him, the army's disciplined nature dissolved into chaos and power struggles.<ref name="three04">[[3.04 Sin City]]</ref> He referred to two particular black-eyed demons in particular as his "children" - [[Meg]] and [[Tom]].<ref name="one22" />
Azazel became integral in [[Lucifer]]'s plans to escape from his [[Lucifer's Cage|his prison]]. Azazel kept faith in [[Lucifer]] even after other demons gave up on his return, and continued to search for him for years, eventually discovering the site where [[Lucifer's Cage]] opened and how to contact him through it. On Lucifer's instructions, he created the [[Special Children]].<ref name="four22" /> It is during this mission that he encounters [[Mary Campbell]]. After killing her parents and her fiance [[John Winchester]], he makes a [[deal]] with her that if she'll allow him entry to her home in ten years time, he'll bring John back to life.<ref name="four03" /> On the night Azazel visited Sam's nursery, he killed [[Mary Winchester]] when she discovered him, and set fire to the Winchester home. These actions caused [[John Winchester]] to pursue Azazel for the rest of his life, and [[Sam]] and [[Dean]]'s lives were forever altered.
