Prompt: Azazel, not just Lucifer's lackey
In The War, he fought proudly at Lucifer's side. He carried Lucifer's flag and he took wounds for the LightBringer, for their glorious leader, for the one who dared defy their creator's will—
No, not their creator. The tyrant. Lucifer—not yet Lucifer, still Sammael in Heaven—told them that they were self-begot, that they should not bow.
He fought and was thrown from Heaven into their prison. And after the Son died for Man, when Lucifer, their brilliant and radiant king, was caged, when all others gave up hope and tried only to annoy the Thunderer instead of shaking him from his self-righteous throne, Azazel alone made a plan to release his lord and savior.
And he succeeded.
