It is known he can take on any human appearance he wishes, as well as any animal. Writings claim he can alter his body into the form of objects, and alter one part of his body and not the rest, but because of a lack of detailed reports and verifiable witnesses, it is hard to be certain. It appears that while he can alter his size and weight when changing shape to mimic that which he changes into, he is unable to merely grow or shrink in his “standard” form.<br/><br/>Azorin also posses basic telekinesis, able to lift items up to the size of a car and hurl them some distance. He can also use this power to create basic shields around himself and fire force blasts. It should be noted that this power is much weaker than his shape changing, and while he wields it with considerable skill and finesse, it is limited: he can only lift so much and his shields can only take a very limited amount of punishment (especially when covering a wide area).<br/><br/>Azorin is virtually immune to mind reading even by extremely powerful magic users, with only small individual words being able to be found out. It is also impossible to mystically see through one of his identities. While logical deduction may be able to reveal his identity, mystical attempts will always show him to truly be whatever (or whoever) he appears to be at that moment.<br/><br/>Azorin has considerable super-strength, easily above peak human and approaching the levels of the strongest vampires.<br/><br/>Azorin can heal from injuries at a very quick rate, often only taking minutes to heal from major wounds. He can also regenerate limbs, although this takes much longer and leaves him weak while it occurs. Much like his TK shielding powers, his healing can be overloaded if he suffers too much harm.<br/><br/>He has the ability to see souls, be them human or demon (or the lack of).<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Azorin is at heart a trickster and manipulator, taking vast pleasure in controlling the events around him and observing how others react. He lacks what would be considered “conventional” morality, having absolutely no conception of right or wrong, but he not particularly “evil” by demon standards; he may not be above killing but he takes no particular pleasure from it (outside of the reactions it may lead to in others) and understands that by killing he is removing a potential plaything.<br/><br/>In his dealings with others Azorin is normally fairly light-hearted, although given to occasional sarcasm and disdain. He is normally incredibly polite but when his ire is raised his sarcasm and disdain come to the fore. Over the years he has come to appreciate the finer things in life, something  the fortune he has acquired (and his ability to impersonate someone else if necessary) has allowed him to indulge these tastes.<br/><br/><strong>Favourite Quote</strong>: “You are a most interesting person...”<br/><br/><strong>Quirks</strong>: Azorin has a tendency to give grandiose speeches. Over the years he has developed a real taste for single-malt scotch whisky, rich and deep French red wines, opera and, somewhat in contrast to his otherwise urbane persona, pulled pork sandwiches and TV murder mysteries.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies</strong>: Devious schemes manipulating those around him, sitting back and watching people react to situations, listening to music, watching Murder, She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong>:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">From the Watcher's Handbook:</span><br/><br/><em>Dear Slayer,<br/><br/>I’ve given some additional information of most of the other demons and nasties in the handbook, so I’ll give some more for this creature although you probably won’t need it. Azorin isn’t your typical “destroy/rule the world” type demon… that’s not to say he is harmless, but he has far less interest in harming the earth or anyone on it then many of the others here. Instead, he seems far more interested in studying humans, and manipulating them to see how they’ll react. He’s a powerful demon if you get on his wrong side, but he’ll rarely get into direct confrontations, or do too much to arose suspicion. In the grand scheme of things, although he’s a dangerous demon and obviously an enemy, he’s not that huge of a threat unless you catch his interest. Despite his long life, he doesn’t seem to have had much interest in Slayers. Some have speculated that while he’s obviously a leading demon in whatever dimension he’s from, he doesn’t particularly like it there, and so spends his time on earth. Due to this keeps his head down so that he doesn’t get noticed and banished. Hope this helps.</em><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Azorin, or “He who Shapes and Changes” has been on this earth for at least 800 years, and some speculate more. The first confirmed reports on him were when he and another demon, identified as Prisab (a mind controller) had their way with a battalion of Knights Templar in the Holy Land. When the elite of the Templer Order arrived they found Prisab riding the commander of the battalion like a horse while the rest acted like dogs on their hands and knees, with Azorin laughing some way back. Prisab was struck down by the leader of the relif force, her head cut from his shoulders, but Azorin turned into an eagle and flew away before he could be banished.<br/><br/>There is some debate as to whether a shadowy force that seems to have manipulated people throughout the worst excesses of both the Roman and Babylonian empires was in fact Azorin. Details remain sketchy and we are unable to confirm or deny this; Azorin's shape-shifting abilities mean it is hard to confirm sightings.<br/><br/>It is this fact that leads to our limited information on Azorin. He has not been part of any major plots that required the Watcher Council’s full attention and has not appeared to form any long lasting or major cults, moving frequently (for an un-aging demon). Confirmed reports are scarce. It was known he was with the Cathars in France during their scouring, and some argue it was he who struck down the Pope’s messenger and lead to the Crusade against the Cathars. Other sightings include during the renaissance in Italy and during the French Revolution at the Court.<br/><br/>Only once has his power ever truly been shown, when the Spanish Inquisition burnt his lover at the time, a Jewish woman, at the stake. Azorin appeared in Teruel, leading the city to revolt, before hunting down the Inquisitors who had lead to his lover’s death, ending finally with his murder of Pedro de Arbués, an Inquisitor who, while officially never giving a sentence of death, had lead the prosecution personally. In total over 55 Inquisitors died, along with over 300 of their guards and attendants.<br/><br/>Note: Demon’s are soulless (by human terms), and thus it is impossible that Azorin felt love for this woman. While we cannot quite explain he actions in response to her death, we can deduce that he vengeance was probably due to him seemingly being disrespected or having his favourite toy taken away.<br/><br/>Despite his power, Azorin prefers to manipulate behind the scenes, something we can possibly guess was due to his time spent with Prisab. His seems to be infatuated with humanity and its limits and vices, moving to find new seats where he can corrupt and influence new groups.<br/><br/>There has not been a confirmed sighting of Azorin since the 1800’s.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
