nihongo|Muruta Azrael|ムルタ・アズラエル|Muruta Azuraeru is a fictional villain from the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" anime series.

He is the leader of the Blue Cosmos terrorist organization, which feels that all nations of Earth, neutral or not, should fight against humanity's "enemies," the Coordinators, for the sake of a "blue and pure world" - that is, a world without Coordinators. He derives immense power within the Atlantic Federation from his position as director of the Atlantic National Defense Conglomerate, the Alliance military's primary source of arms and munitions. His relative Bruno Azrael is a member of Logos.

Gundam SEED

After receiving information from Rau Le Creuset on the true target of Operation Spitbreak, he and his subordinates arrange to place a Cyclops system beneath the JOSH-A Alaska base. They also arrange to leave Eurasian Federation troops for base "defense," while the Atlantic Federation personnel are transferred to Panama. The personnel are left for "defense" to convince ZAFT forces to move close to the base so they will be destroyed by the Cyclops system, crippling ZAFT's fighting strength. This destruction of Eurasian Federation troops also allows Blue Cosmos and the Atlantic Federation (both of which are in Azrael's pocket) to dominate the Earth Alliance.

Azrael uses his connections within the Atlantic Federation to "request" the Orb Union for use of their mass driver, since it is the only remaining one not under ZAFT's control. He leads the attack on the Orb Union when Uzumi Nara Athha, as he had hoped, refuses their "offer." In the attack, he uses the new GAT-X131 Calamity, GAT-X252 Forbidden and GAT-X370 Raider, as well as massive numbers of the mass-produced GAT-01 Strike Dagger. Despite the interference of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom and ZGMF-X09A Justice units, Azrael's forces overwhelm the defenses. Uzumi Nara Athha destroys the mass driver to prevent the Earth Alliance from using it, giving Azrael nothing but a Pyrrhic victory.

He takes an interest in the Freedom and Justice units, suspecting that they run on nuclear energy when he notices that the power they displayed is greater than other mobile suits.

After the Earth Alliance recaptures the mass driver at Victoria, Azrael decides to go into space on board the "Dominion" with the three Biological CPU pilots. He planned to capture the Freedom and/or the Justice for the Earth Alliance. They attack the "Archangel", but are driven back by the Freedom and Justice units and the appearance of the "Kusanagi" and "Eternal".

Azrael takes interest in a life pod Le Creuset sent to the Earth Alliance after its occupant, Flay Allster, mentions that she had the "key" which would end the war. After the Calamity retrieves the pod, Azrael obtains the N-Jammer Canceller technology. He convinces top Earth Alliance officials to use nuclear weapons with N-Jammer Cancellers to end the war by eradicating all of the Coordinaters instead of using the technology to solve the Earth's energy crisis.

As the war enters its final stages, Azrael becomes increasingly desperate to accomplish his goal of genocide, especially after witnessing the destructive power of GENESIS and gives the order to launch nuclear missiles at the PLANTs to inflict maximum damage to eliminate the threat to Earth. When Natarle Badgiruel objects to his orders, he pulls a gun on her, frightening the other "Dominion" crew members into submission. However, Flay Allster alerts the "Archangel" of the impending danger as the "Dominion" prepares to fire on it. When Azrael prepares to shoot Flay, Natarle intervenes, restraining him and ordering the rest of the crew to abandon ship. Azrael shoots Natarle during the struggle and then prepares to destroy the "Archangel" himself. When he fires the "Lohengrin", however, GAT-X105 Strike pilot Mu La Flaga takes the full force of the blast and saves the "Archangel"; and seemingly dies. In response, the "Archangel" destroys the "Dominion" with its own Lohengrin, killing Azrael and Captain Badgiruel in the process.

Trivia
