The character Azazel plays a key role in my novels. He is a man driven by his lusts whose hidden unseen image (his true spirit) appears as a half-man, half-goat being – who would be recognized by any follower of Greek Mythology as “Pan”
Pan
“The mischievous Greek god of the Arcadian woods and fields,
the protector of flocks and herds and has power to ‘panic’ all those who threatened his charges.
Pan, whom the Romans associated with the wood god, Fanaus,
represented as a satyr (faun), is often shown in the company of Dionysus (Brother of Apollo).”
