Asbeel was listed as the second of five chief angels or "satans" who led astray the Grigori by falling in love with humans. There were also Yeqon (or Yaqum, "he shall rise"), Gadreel ("wall of God"), Penemue ("the inside"), and Kasdaye ("Chaldean", "covered hand").{{cn|date=November 2025}}
He is also referred to in the film ''The Devil Inside'', as a possessed woman shouts that she is 'Asbeel'.<ref>{{cite web |title=Review 94: The Devil Inside (.5/5) |url=https://themormoncritic.wordpress.com/2018/03/02/review-94-the-devil-inside-5-5/ |website=The Bean Guy |access-date=15 November 2025 |language=en |date=2 March 2018}}</ref>
