Several centuries ago, the templar knight Dumas split from his group to found his own Order of St. Dumas. They pillaged villages to gain their wealth, and eventually came upon the fabled treasure of King Solomon. Using this capital, this secret society began collecting information to forward its personal agendae and researching technology that would advance them far beyond the rest of the known world. To guard their knowledge and wealth, the Order created the Azraels. For many generations, each Azrael passed on from father to son.

This Azrael was one of the Order's earliest Azraels. He came into contact with the time-travelling Chronos, when the latter travelled to 16th century Constantinople and attempted to steal the device called the Tempesthold. The Tempesthold was a gift from the Byzantine Empire to the Order of St. Dumas in gratitude for their help in the war against the Ottoman Empire. Chronos recognised the Azrael as an ancestor of the present day Azrael whom he knew. As one of the Order of St. Dumas' objectives is to collect such powerful objects, Azrael was not willing to let it go without a fight. Unfortunately, Chronos was able to warp through time with the device before Azrael could retrieve it.

Like other Azraels who would inherit his title, this Azrael was trained by the Order of St. Dumas to be a pure killing machine. And just as they would, he wore heavy armour and wielded a flaming sword to slay his opponents.
