Azrael, one of the Old High Ones, is the Ultimate Reality, a being so vast that entire nebulae of galaxies are merely the glint in his eye and who speaks like
this.

He is the Being of whom all lesser Deaths are mere reflections - aspects. Trapped in his prison of a billion years, Azrael is bored. He can even remember the future ("premembering", as the incarnation of Time calls it), so there is nothing new for him. "I remember," he says at the end of Reaper Man, "when all this will be again."

He is the keeper of The Universal Clock, whose big hand only goes round once, ticking off the moments until the end of everything.
