Character Name: Azrael
Real Name: Michael Washington Brooks
Background: Michael Brooks' life was never easy. His mother was killed by vampires when he was young, causing him to become a dhampir or half vampire. During most of his teen years, he was trained by Father Day of the Order of St. Dumas as a vampire hunter, patrolling Gotham City at night in order to take them out.
When he was 25, Michael's girlfriend committed suicide. That same year, Father Day was attacked and killed by vampires. He went back to the Order of St. Dumas, where they offered him the Suit of Sorrows and the Sword of Sin. He now hunts the unholy as Azrael, and has become a dependable ally of Dark Claw's.
Personality: When simply Michael, he is often very detached. He is a devout Catholic, so he tries his best to be polite when interacting with people is necessary. As Azrael, he becomes much more coldblooded, and very vengeful.
Powers: Being a half vampire, Michael has all the strengths of vampires and none of their weaknesses. He possesses superhuman agility, stamina, strength, and speed. He is able to see in the dark as well as a human in daylight, has acute hearing, and can heal rapidly from most wounds. He can also sense vampires.
Skills and abilities: Michael is an expert swordsman, having trained with Father Day for years before obtaining the Sword of Sins. He is also an expert marksman and tactician, able to hit his target from hundreds of yards away.
Weaknesses: Michael's only true weakness is that he must feed on human blood. But because he does not wish to be like "them", he controls his cravings with a serum developed by the monks in the Order. If he goes for several days without the serum, he will eventually succumb and die.
Description: Azrael's costume consists of a black tattered cloak and hood with decorative strips laying over the cloak. The rest is a black shirt with a red cross on top of a chainmail shirt with black slacks and combat boots. He also utilizes a black mask with a red pattern covering his face. As Michael, he often wears a black leather trenchcoat with a kevlar vest and the slacks from the Suit of Sorrows.
