Azuth was a mortal wizard who ascended to godhood at the end of the Dawn Cataclysm. When Netheril fell, many of the magics that sustained the great Empire was lost when Karsus attempted to steal the powers of Mystral, the goddess of Magic. Since the very gods were assaulted many of the deities renamed themselves.
The mortal Azuth caught the attention of Mystral, who now called herself Mystra. He gathered much of the magical lore that was scattered and lost. Impressed with his thirst for knowledge of the Arcane Arts, Mystra accepted him as her pupil. Soon she appointed him "Magister", a title going to her chosen of the realms. Soon she and Azuth became lovers. Yet he was spurred on to become much more, and challenged Savras the All-Seeing who was a demi-god. He was able to steal his power and sealed the demi-god in a Scepter he constructed.
From then on he served Mystra and lived with her in her realms of Dweomerheart for many centuries. Sadly this came to a tragic end when Mystra in mortal form was killed by Helm during the Time of Troubles. Her powers was passed to "Midnight" who took on the mantle of the goddess. Once these were restored, Azuth served the new goddess as an adviser and mentor. Realizing he and she needed help, he freed Savras from the scepter, who swore to serve the Mystra as he had foretold. Decades later Azuth would be cast out from Dweomerheart when Mystra was assassinated by Cyric and Shar. That act destroyed the Weave and sent Azuth into Asmodeus's realm. The weakened demi-god was no much for the Archdevil who consumed his essence.
