Chaotic Evil

**Abaddon** is one of the most powerful demons in Hell, having the title of **The Doom Demon**. He has offered to assist Melaney Almyra in her endeavors, albeit, for his own amusement.

## Appearance

Abaddon is a lean man with long gray hair—a part of it is tied in a single braid on the right side of his head—black fingernails, and a jagged scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger. He also has green double iris eyes.

Abaddon often dresses in a black robe, a long crooked top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wears black earrings; an emerald ring on his left index finger; a band of prayer beads around his neck; and a chain with seven lockets around his hip.

Abaddon always seems to have his cane on him. There is a skull wrapped in a thorny vine at the end of the handle, where Abaddon would grab.

## Personality

Abaddon stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanent grin on his face at all times.

This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations.

Abaddon is described as a man of duality. He values good manners, affability and intelligence very highly in others, and will actively look down on those who do not meet his standards, however he will often play fast and loose with these arbitrary rules in regards to himself and his own conduct. His smiling is also a show of power and dominance, and miserable people are seen by him as weak.

Despite everything, Abaddon does genuinely seem to want to help Melaney run the mansion, albeit for his own amusement and hopes for its failure over siding with her idealism. Abaddon also dismisses the idea that redemption is possible as laughable, nevertheless, he fulfills his role as patron as promised, providing the mansion with staff, and protecting Melaney and her business from outside threats. He views the whole endeavor as a fun distraction from his decades of boredom.

## Powers and Abilities

**Deal Making**: Abaddon is shown to be a deal-maker demon, offering Melaney a deal in return for his help with the mansion, something she wisely turns down. Deal-maker demons like Abaddon can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell. So they’re seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with. Deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesn’t generally work out well for the other party.

**Wide Intellect**: Abaddon is shown to be quite a cunning individual, resulting in him acquiring a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making.

**Outfit Alteration**: Abaddon is capable of changing the outfits of his targets as well as his own with a snap of a finger.

#### Melaney Almyra

Abaddon assists Melaney with her endeavors, but he makes it abundantly clear that he is only doing it for his own interests, as opposed to believing in Melaney's ideas of redemption. However, they have a similar sense of humor. At some point, he tells Melaney that he thinks she's 'one of a kind' as well as a 'charming demon belle.' Abaddon thinks Melaney is funny and likes talking to her.
