>>13220761Aye, he is a very complicated concept.
His name is the name of the Abyss, when he fell the place either became like him or he became like the place or maybe both happened at once.
Bound by 7seals that will be broken when the time comes he will rise to bring about the Apocalypse for his name in ancient herbrew means "Doom"
He is the death-drive of the world hurling towards it's end.
In his metaphysical meaning he shares many similarities with Surtur from Nordic mythology who also metaphysically like Abaddon an archetypical Destroyer, oppisite to the Godly Creator.
His function is to wipe the slate clean so that a new world may come.
Ya know, Ragnarok and all that.
Many names same concept, same archetype, many fascets seen from different angle by different poeople of a same beign if you can even call it that.
And no, he's definetly Angel of Sloth.
I initially made that mistake too with mistaking him for patron of wrath but nah, Satan is the patron of wrath.
Keep in mind that Sloth isn't only laziness, under the umbrella of sin also falls Acedia which use dto be it's own sin by the time of the greeks i think.
It is the Sin of despair and hopelessness.
And Abaddon, both the place and a beign is an embodiment of it, a sum of all despair, not in asense of someone inflicting despair but expiriencing it.
Expiriencing the seperation from divine light.
His rage is the rage of all of humanity.
His depsair and hopelesness is the despair and desperation of all of humanity given form.
A very angry form.
