^I have made some research regarding that and there's no angel named Azrael or Izrail in Islamic scriptures, but the name is used by some Arabic speakers. This Angel is, well, just like Hassan : he is there to bring souls back to Allah, and only on his Lord's request. King Hassan might just be the new Azrael -- or even maybe the real one. The Alaya can summon their agents at any point in time if I remember correctly?

There is a Azrael (more like Azriel) in the Kabbalah but he isn't an angel of death, just a high-rank officer of God, among others.

As for the Horsemen theory, it should be noted that none of the characters and events recorded in the Apocalypse are "real", they are just part of John's trippy dream-like visions, and at best allegories (hence why Pale Rider only appear in dreams). King Hassan may be one of the Horsemen, but he might not appear as such. Same for the others, or even Mother Harlot.
