There was only one person above him within the demons: The Great Demon Venerable, the Demons' Supreme Godfather. Azaroth's extraordinary talent never had the chance to blossom to its full potential; a terrible calamity struck him down and he died soon after.

Shun's decision
The lack of clues in the forest and the mansion was confusing Shun to no end. He was slowly getting more doubtful about his deductions.
'Am I truly right? Or have I missed something? Or is this all the plan of that demon? Was he using Edwin to fool his pursuers and escape to some other place?'
Azaroth noticed that Shun had grown silent. He knew this was the perfect opportunity.
"Father, I had a sudden thought," Azaroth called out to Jonas.
"What is it?" Jonas asked him calmly.
"What if the demon was planning to pin the blame on me? What if he deliberately chose the timing when I am leaving Kloras Town?" Azaroth spoke out, making known another possibility.
Jonas asked him with a frown, "Why would he choose you?"
