This one fallen angel in 1 Enoch seems to be all the same figure, and seems to be the actual devil the one in Revelation 12:9. It sounds like it should all be the same name.

Vanderkam 1 Enoch

chapter 54:1
And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and
I saw there a deep valley with burning fire. {2/ And they
brought the kings and the mighty and threw them into that
deep valley.}a 3/ And there my eyes saw them making their
instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight.
4
And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, “For whom
are these chains being prepared?”
5
And he said to me, “These are being prepared for the host of
Azazel, that they might take them and throw them into the
abyss of complete judgment, and with jagged rocks they will
cover their jaws, as the Lord of Spirits commanded.
6
And Michael and Raphael and Gabriel and Phanuel will take
hold of them on that great day, and throw them on that day
into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take
vengeance on them, for their unrighteousness in becoming
servants of Satan, and leading astray those who dwell on the
earth.”

55

3 When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the
angels, on the day of tribulation and distress in the face of
my punishment and wrath, I will make my punishment and
wrath dwell upon them,” says the Lord of Spirits.
4
“Mighty kings who dwell on the earth, you will have to wit-
ness my Chosen One, how he will sit on the throne of glory
and judge Azazel and all his associates and all his host in the
name of the Lord of Spirits.”
56:1
And I saw there hosts of angels of punishment going, and they
were holding <chains> of iron and bronze.
2
And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, “To whom
are these who are holding (the chains) going?”
3
And he said to me, “To their chosen and beloved ones, that
they may be thrown into the chasm of the abyss of the valley.
4
Then that valley will be filled with their chosen and beloved
ones,
and the days of their life will be at an end,
and the days of their leading astray will henceforth not be
reckoned.”



chapter 69
the twenty-first is †Azazel†

chapter 6
7 ninth to him; Asael,

chapter 8
1 Asael taught men to make swords of iron and weapons and
shields and breastplates and every instrument of war.
He showed them metals of the earth and how they should
work gold to fashion it suitably, and concerning silver, to
fashion it for bracelets and ornaments for women. And he
showed them concerning antimony and eye paint and all
manner of precious stones and dyes.


6 You see what Asael has done,
who has taught all iniquity on the earth,
and has revealed the eternal mysteries that are in heaven,
<which the sons of men were striving to learn.>c


chapter 10

4
To Raphael he said,
“Go, Raphael, and bind Asael hand and foot, and cast him
into the darkness;
And make an opening in the wilderness that is in
Doudael.
5
Throw him there, and lay beneath him sharp and jagged
stones.
And cover him with darkness, and let him dwell there for
an exceedingly long time.
Cover up his face, and let him not see the light.
6
And on the day of the great judgment, he will be led away
to the burning conflagration.
7
And heal the earth, which the watchers have desolated;
and announce the healing of the earth, that the plague
may be healed,
and all the sons of men may not perish because of the
mystery that the watchers told and taught their sons.
8
And all the earth was made desolate by the deeds of the
teaching of Asael,
and over him write all the sins.”

chapter 13
13:1
“And, Enoch, go and say to Asael,
‘You will have no peace.
A great sentence has gone forth against you, to bind you.
2
You will have no relief or petition,
because of the unrighteous deeds that you revealed,
{and because of all the godless deeds and the unrighteous-
ness and the sin that you revealed to humans.’”}a
3
Then I went and spoke to all of them together.
And they were all afraid,
and trembling and fear seized them.


chapter 69 2
the tenth is Asael;



chapter 69 6
And the name of the third is Gadre’el. This is the one who
showed all the blows of death to the sons of men, and he led
Eve astray, and he showed the shield and the coat of mail
and the sword for battle and all the implements of death to
the sons of men. 7/ And from his hand they have gone forth
against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for-
ever and ever.

2 of the fallen angels list in 1 Enoch side by side

| Order | List A (First List) | List B (Second List) |
| ----: | ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| 1 | Shemihazah (leader) | Shemihazah |
| 2 | Arteqoph | Arteqoph |
| 3 | Remashel | Remashel |
| 4 | Kokabel | Kokabel |
| 5 | Armumahel | **Turel** |
| 6 | Ramel | Ramel |
| 7 | Daniel | Daniel |
| 8 | Ziqel | Ziqel |
| 9 | Baraqel | Baraqel |
| 10 | Asael | Asael |
| 11 | Hermani | Hermani |
| 12 | Matarel | Matarel |
| 13 | Ananel | **Basasel** |
| 14 | Setawel | Ananel |
| 15 | Samshiel | **Turel** (second occurrence) |
| 16 | Sahriel | Shamsiel |
| 17 | Tummiel | Sahriel |
| 18 | Turiel | Tummiel |
| 19 | Yamiel | Turiel |
| 20 | Yehadiel | Yamiel |
| 21 | — | **Azazel** |

The two angel lists of 1 Enoch ordered into chart by chat gpt. One chart has Azazel as number 21 the other chart ends at 20.
The Vanderkam 1 Enoch version has a cross symbol either side of Azazel which in the introduction says that means it is presumed to be corrupt. Possibly Azazel is a later addition by a scribe? As Asael is in that same list, and if they are the same figure it should not be.

If Asael/Azazel/Gadreel is not the devil then they are some very powerful fallen angels high ranking like the devil.

Then here are a few of the other fallen angels

4
And the name of the first is Yeqon, this is the one who led all
the children of the angels astray and brought them down
upon the earth, and led them astray through the daughters
of men.
5
And the name of the second is Asbe’el. This one gave evil coun-
sel to the children of the holy angels, and led them astray so
that they ruined their bodies through the daughters of men.
6
And the name of the third is Gadre’el. This is the one who
showed all the blows of death to the sons of men, and he led
Eve astray, and he showeda the shield and the coat of mail
and the sword for battle and all the implements of death to
the sons of men. 7/ And from his hand they have gone forth
against those who dwell on the earth from that day and for-
ever and ever.
8
And the name of the fourth is †Penemue†. This one showed
the sons of men the bitter and the sweet and showed them
all the secrets of their wisdom. 9/ He gave humans knowl-
edge about writing with ink and papyrus, and therefore
many went astray from of old and forever and until this day.
10/ For humans were not born for this purpose, to confirm
their trustworthiness through pen and ink. 11/ For humans
were not created to be different from the angels, so that
they should remain pure and righteous. And death, which
ruins everything, would not have laid its hand on them.
But through this, their knowledge, they are perishing, and
through this power it devours us.
12
And the name of the fifth is Kasdeya. This is the one who
showed the sons of men all the evil blows of spirits and
demons, and the blows of the foetus in the womb, so that
it aborts, and {the blow of the soul,} the bite of the serpent,
and the blow that comes in the noonday heat, the son of the
serpent, whose name (is) Taba>et.

Assuming they are all the same figure then maybe the original reading all had the same name, and variants arose over time... or they were originally called different names despite being the same figure. or they are not all the same even though they all sound like the chief fallen angel aka the devil
