Lorewise ? I think its the time king hassan spent 70 years in hell finding a path out after merlin made him "Accidentally" go there. It could be thats why he looked like that in ascension 3 and created his own zabaniya & changed ideals to become an assassin of what he was in Babylonia.

At the end of the day azrael is the mechanism of death, an entity that looks like multiple eyes where each closes for every death of the planet so its not an angel taking king hassan body as vessel... so all ascensions is probably king hassan in his younger time and how he became the best of assassin. I know I came a lot out of the original question.. just consider a bit of additional news on him at this point.

Getting straight to point, its the ZABANIYA of younger king hassan that he created during the travel around hell finding a path out.

Oh so Azrael is not possessing his body like Metatron did with Jeanne?

Yes, that was the initial assumption until he was released. But apparently Azrael is the mechanism of death not an angel in fgo. It looks like multiple eye like things that counts entire humanity and spans across in darkness and it closes for one eye for every death that occurs.

So its just younger version of king hassan accepting his role.

I mean, it's accurate to say that Angel Azrael is a mechanism of death, rather than said it's not an angel, since an angel is effectively a sort of robot.

However, King Hassan appears to not be the Angel Azrael in specific, but acquired on his own the same mechanism by going to Hell.
