*[[Saias]] (half-nephew)

Azelle was one of the many illegitimate children of Duke [[Victor (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Victor]] of Velthomer, and his mother was a maidservant to Victor's wife, [[Cigyun]], who was a plain woman who had had a difficult childhood; Azelle was conceived as the result of drunken behavior by Victor, in what may have been a rape. When Victor learned of the maid's pregnancy, he violently attempted to drive the maid away, which Cigyun attempted to stop. Azelle was born just before Victor committed suicide and Cigyun disappeared. When Victor's legitimate son [[Arvis]] took the Velthomer throne, although he had the rest of Victor's conquests and illegitimate children exiled, he took Azelle and the maid in and treated them as his own family, although the maid died some ten years after this.<ref>''"Also, Arvis exiled all but one of his father Victor’s mistresses. He ordered their children to be demoted to servants or exiled. The only mistress left was a girl who was his mother Cigyun’s maid servant. Although she went through a tough childhood and wasn’t beautiful, she had a kind heart and frequently took care of Arvis. Even Arvis could not be cruel towards her.<br>Although Victor got his hands on the girl from the momentum of being drunk, when he knew the girl got pregnant he yelled, cursed, used violence, and tried to drive her away. The person who scolded at this was Cigyun, and the very child who this girl got pregnant with was in fact Azelle. When Victor died, Azelle was just born.<br>Arvis hated (like truly hated) his father for making mother sad for immature thoughts. When that father commited suicide, and Cigyun ran away, a cold mask always floated around the young expression. But, he thought of that mistress and Azelle as his own family.<br>From there, the mistress was grateful for Arvis, and served him by taking care of the space around him, but she also died of disease around 10 years later.<br>From then on, there was no sight of a woman around Arvis."'' - Designers' notes from ''[[Fire Emblem: Treasure]]'', as translated by [http://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/holy-war/fire-emblem-treasure/ Serenes Forest]</ref>

Growing up among the nobility of Grannvale, Azelle became close friends with [[Lex]] of [[Dozel]] and [[Tailtiu]] of [[Friege]]. Early in the Verdane raid on Grannvale, Azelle and Lex arrived from the north to assist Sigurd in fighting the invasion in opposition to Arvis's wishes, though Lex teased Azelle over how the latter may have actually been motivated to help by his infatuation with [[Edain]].<ref name="player">{{Cite|'''Azelle:''' Yeah, but with the military on engagement to Isaach, Grannvale's completely strapped! Sigurd and the few soldiers left in Chalphy are out here fighting for their lives! I can't just leave them hanging...<br>'''Lex:''' Oh really... I'm not quite buying your story, Azelle. What aren't you telling me?<br>'''Azelle:''' Wh...what're you talking about!?<br>'''Lex:''' I'd surmise that you're all worked up about Lady Edain of Yngvi. I know you like her.<br>'''Azelle:''' Y...you're nuts!<br>'''Lex:''' A-ha! Face is getting red there, buddy! You little player you.<br>'''Azelle:''' Lex, knock it off! Now come on, let's get going.|Azelle and [[Lex]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Following the Verdane skirmish, he continued to fight with Sigurd in [[Agustria]], [[Silesse]] and beyond until his presumed death in the [[Battle of Belhalla]].

Azelle is a playable character in the first generation of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''.

|inventory={{Item|4|Fire|link=Fire (tome)}}<br>5,000 [[Gold]]

Azelle joins in the Prologue in the first generation of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''; he is the second unmounted unit in the chapter, the first being [[Arden]]. Azelle remains unmounted until he promotes; ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' has very large maps dominated by mounted units, and Azelle will fall behind all of them with no way to catch up, making it difficult to level Azelle up to the point where he can promote.

Azelle has the [[Follow-Up]] skill, which allows him to double, and he also has enough attacking power and speed to one-round many enemies in the Prologue and Chapter 1, since they have low resistance and wield heavy axes. The [[Fire (tome)|Fire]] tome he joins with [[Weight (weapon)|weighs him down]] by twelve, which prevents him from doubling enemies in later chapters; it is best to switch to [[Thunder (tome)|Thunder]], which first becomes available in [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]], and later to [[Wind (tome)|Wind]], which which is first available in [[Dance in the Skies|Chapter 4]], as they will weigh him down less, allowing Azelle to double more enemies.

Azelle can participate in the arena for additional experience, but he struggles to clear it without significant effort and investment, such as giving him several rings and rigging difficult fights. Azelle is a good user of the [[Magic Ring]], as there are not many combat mages in generation 1 who compete for the item, and it is available early. He might also want the [[Speed Ring]] to double more enemies more often, even with lighter tomes.

As a father, Azelle will pass down the coveted Follow-Up skill, but will also pass down mage stats which few children appreciate; [[Tailtiu]] and Lachesis are the only two mothers whose children want Follow-Up and would not mind the mage stats. Tailtiu's children, [[Tine]] and [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]], are Mages; while Arthur will be made better by Lewyn—who grants him Major Forseti blood and the [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]]—Lewyn offers less to Tine than Azelle does. Lachesis's daughter [[Nanna]] appreciates the magic boost, and her son [[Diarmuid]] can inherit Azelle's swords and use magic swords to fight instead of physical swords; however, Azelle has less of an impact on Nanna than Lachesis, and Diarmuid prefers physical fathers to boost his high strength, which he will always have a higher base and growth in than magic, regardless of his father. [[Edain]] is also worth noting as a pairing, as Azelle can give her the [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]] staff in an event in Chapter 4 if the two are lovers; however, Claud can have an event with Edain in [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]] that also grants Rescue, and an Azelle-fathered [[Lana]] cannot inherit Rescue while a Claud-fathered Lana can.

Azelle is one of the characters added to the game in the [[The Vital Blade]] update, and became available for summoning by players on February 16, 2021. Only one variation of Azelle is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' incarnation.

Though he hated fighting,<ref>{{Cite|Then why did you do such a silly thing? Besides, I thought you hated fighting.|[[Edain]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Azelle was nonetheless driven to support Sigurd in repelling the Verdane invasion by the threat it posed to Edain's life, as a result of his ongoing romantic interest in Edain herself<ref name="player" /> which he developed upon first meeting her at a young age.<ref>{{Cite|It's just that I always held you in such high regard.
