: The answer is that Azrael was cast out of heaven and into the pits of hades and therefore became a demon like all the other renegade angels (which is what he is) and any one who didn't fight, whereas Bartleby and Loki were banished to earth for all eternity but remained angels because what there did wasn't bad enough to be considered demon worthy. So demons can't become human but angels can and this is why Azrael needed them.
To put it another way Azrael was deported from the country but Bartleby and Loki were just thrown out of the state
