Azazel, also known as the Yellow-Eyed Demon, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside The Darkness) of the TV series Supernatural.
He is a powerful demon who is devoted to Lucifer and rules Hell in the latter's absence. He makes deals with women to allow him into their houses so that he can feed them demon blood and turn them into Special Children, Lucifer's potential vessels for his return during the Apocalypse. It is later revealed that he was one of Four Princes of Hell, the most powerful demons of Hell just under Lucifer and Lilith. Azazel is the catalyst for the Winchester family becoming hunters and the events of the series by successfully setting the Apocalypse in motion postmortem.
