Azkaal is a character featured in Might & Magic: Heroes VI.
Biography[]
Azkaal was once the Prince of Destruction, Champion of the Overlord Ur-Khrag, and one of the most powerful Demons to stalk Ashan.
During the Ancient age he led a mighty horde from the depths of Sheogh, slaughtering Angels in their thousands, and striking down over half of their flying cities.
However, for the past eight centuries he has lain trapped like a fly in amber, the great Archangels Sarah and Michael ensnaring his soul in an impregnable artifact when he was on the verge of total victory.
Naturally, he isn’t happy about this. Worse, despite being recently awoken, his newfound freedom is of an empty variety, his spirit now seemingly imprisoned in the mind of a pathetic human. Smouldering with rage, Azkaal will never rest until his enemies have been slain and Ashan lies in ruins.OffBck
Azkaal was the great, powerful general of Sheogh until Michael defeated him and trapped his soul. He was taken by Sarah and Kiril when they went to Sheogh. Sarah then implanted Azkaal's soul into Kiril's body.
Despite his failed attempt to take control over Kiril's body, Azkaal tried to teach Kiril ways of Destruction. During Kiril's search for Sarah, Azkaal offers information about Kiril's enemies.
