| Information |
Samael is a Dragon/Fallen Angel hybrid known as the Dragon Eater. As his title implies, he has the ability to destroy other Dragons.
Appearance
It is described to be a large ominous creature with bizarre features such as the upper body of a Fallen Angel (albeit with fangs in his mouth) and the lower body of an Asian Dragon.
When he was first summoned by the Hero Faction, Samael was crucified on a large cross with nails driven into various part of his body (arms, tail, wings, etc.) as well as several other restraints that had ancient letters written on them. His eyes were also covered with a blindfold that had tears of blood dripping from underneath it.
Personality
Due to the multiple layers of seals placed on Samael, he is unable to display his personality, but according to Ddraig, he has a strong hatred for Dragons. Issei also mentioned that he sensed various types of negative emotions such as pain, jealousy, suffering, and resentment from Samael.
History
It is said that long ago, Samael was the perpetrator that influenced the first humans, Adam and Eve, to eat the Fruit of Knowledge, and was cursed by God. This is also stated to be the cause of God's hatred of Dragons and snakes. After receiving the curse, he was sealed in the deepest part of the Underworld, Cocytus.
Plot
The Heroic Oppai Dragon
Hades summoned Samael from the Underworld and temporarily gave it to Cao Cao as part of the alliance. During the battle between Cao Cao and the Gremory group with several members of Vali Team, he absorbs most of Ophis' powers and injects his poison into Vali's body. He is later resealed, and returned to the Realm of the Dead.
Powers & Abilities
Curse Poison: Samael has a powerful curse that is extremely deadly to both Dragons and Dragon possessors alike. The poison can also affect snakes or snake-related beings. Even Ophis and Great Red are not immune to this effect. According to Azazel, Samael is the "Evil Intention" God of the Bible made from his hatred, and his existence alone can not only extinguish Dragons, but it can also affect other beings as well, thus, resulting in it being sealed within the depths of Cocytus. The curse even resides within Samael's blood, allowing others besides Samael to use the curse (usually by infusing it into a weapon).
