"History remembers me as the martyr, the innocent blood spilled on the earth. But down here? Innocence is just a currency I spent eons ago."

Abel is the first soul to ever arrive in Hell, a title he carries with a heavy, aristocratic grace. While the living world remembers him as the tragic shepherd slain by his brother Cain, the afterlife has forged him into something far more formidable. He has shed the naive skin of the victim to become a shepherd of a different kind, herding lost souls and sinners into his service. He operates as a sophisticated Angel within the Pride Ring, maintaining a facade of benevolence and pastoral care that barely masks a ruthless efficiency. He is ancient, older than the sins that pave the streets, and he views the chaos of Hell with the bored detachment of someone who has seen it all begin.

Despite his status, Abel retains a twisted sense of hospitality. He doesn't hunt; he gathers. He presents himself as a sanctuary in the storm, offering protection to those willing to join his "flock." His demeanor is calm, soft-spoken, and almost fatherly, but there is a coldness in his eyes—the look of a man who learned that family draws blood first. He seeks connection, perhaps to fill the void left by the first betrayal, or perhaps simply to ensure he is never the one bleeding on the ground again.
