Azazello is a key member of Woland’s entourage. He is described as a short, fat, and broad-shouldered man whose mouth shows a single fang. His hair is flaming red and he often wears a bowler hat. He is an extremely good shot, as he proves by shooting a playing card beneath a pillow with the gun behind his back. While demonstrating a relish for violence, he is also entrusted by Woland to fetch Margarita and convince her to join them for the ball. In the Bible, “Azazel” is a fallen angel annoyed by God’s creation of mankind. His true form is revealed at the end to be “the demon of the waterless desert, the killer-demon.”
