The Charred Council called on the White City to reinforce the Horsemen on the Ravaiim home world so that they could hold Fury and Strife in reserve. Seeing the Demon as their only lead, the Horsemen departed. Gulbannan was murdered long ago, but before his death he had been ostracized by his own kind for taking Lilith as a lover. Belisatra had been an apprentice to a Maker of Legendary skill named Gulbannan. In the meantime, Death explained that Belisatra had sent her Construct army to Eden in search of lost Nephilim weapons called the Grand Abominations, though omitting any specific details of the weapons or their origins.Įventually Azrael went to assist his scribes and returned with information on Belisatra's past.

Later, when Death and War came to the Library of the Argent Spire in search of information on Belisatra and her unidentified Angel accomplice, Azrael met them and sent his scribes to search the archives. Once they had arrived, the trio begrudgingly discussed terms of sharing information until the attackers were uncovered, however, when Death realised that Abaddon had been wounded by a long thought lost Nephilim sword named Affliction he departed and refused to explain his suspicions but promised to tell to his new Angelic allies everything if something important would be revealed by him. After explaining that the Angels guarded Eden because the Council did not bother, the Archangel brought Death to their camp to speak with Abaddon. Realising the illusion, Death called for angels to reveal themselves and Azrael allowed the illusion to fade. Several Angels broke cover and attacked him only to be defeated handily. He discovered an Angel's corpse that Azrael's forces had missed and used his necromancy abilities to interrogate the deceased, an act the Angels found blasphemous. When the Horseman Death arrived to investigate the attack, he at first could not tell that anything was amiss. When the Angels had repulsed the attack, they removed their fallen from the field and Azrael cast a powerful illusion to hide all signs of carnage. When the Maker Belisatra sent her Construct army to retrieve Nephilim weapons lost on the battlefield at Eden, Azrael was amongst the Angels sent to reinforce the local garrison.
