Origin - ''Unable to determine due to his ability to reincarnate''

 

* [[Master of Illusion]]: In ''IV'', his encounters with Siegfried, Kilik, and Algol has Zasalamel create illusory copies of people dear to those characters (Siegfried's father Frederick, Kilik's adoptive sister Xianglian, and Algol's son Arcturus) just to spite them for no reason.

* [[The Middle East]]: It's likely he may originally be [[wikipedia:Babylonia|Babylonian,]] judging by the names of his attacks being named after figures of Babylonian myth and legend: Ereshkigal, Nergal, Shamash, Tiamat, etc. This also fits with him originally being a member of Algol's cult, who is himself inspired by the hero king Gilgamesh, and therefore likely originates from the pre-Babylonian (occupying the same region) ''Sumerian'' civilization.

* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Zasalamel masterminded the events of III for the express purpose of [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|curing]] himself of this.

* [[Scary Black Man]]

*** {{spoiler|While training Patroklos, she advised him to not give in to dark desires such as revenge, as she was once consumed by that same drive in the past, implying that she did get over her vengeance after defeating Mitsurugi and saw something of her younger self in Patroklos.}}
