Abel

Abel is an angel, the son of the late Adam, and a supporting character in Hazbin Hotel who made his debut in the episode "Storyteller".

Following his father's death in "The Show Must Go On", Abel was appointed as the new Commander of the Exorcists.

In "Curtain Call", Abel mustered his courage to stop Lute's vengeful attack, allowing the Hazbin Hotel staff to destroy the Might of Lilith and save Pentagram City. Abel is a light fair-skinned angel with a few of his father's features, such as his chubby physique and large, golden wings on his back. Unlike him, however, he has wavy and shoulder-length pale blonde hair, pupil-less amber-gold eyes, a gap in the top row of his teeth, and a halo with a slight wavy dent in it, which is typically tilted to the side to accommodate his hat.

His outfit resembles Adam's, only it appears to be mixed with pale yellow marching band attire. It includes yellow epaulets, golden buttons with pink straps and trim, and sleeves that fade from yellow to pale yellow. His visible arms are black in appearance.

His Exorcist helmet also looks near-identical to his father's, only with the horns shaping to resemble a ram's.

He also wears a pale yellow shako hat with pink bands around the top and bottom and with Adam's 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front in pink, and a large white plume from the right side. Unlike his father, Abel is shown to be more easygoing, calm and benevolent. He also isn't afraid to speak his mind, as he shoots down Lute during the hearing regarding Sir Pentious' ascension to Heaven when she relentlessly cries foul on the matter-at-hand, and also mildly gloats about being the new head of the Exorcist army following his dad's demise instead of her.

Abel is also willing to make new friends, as seen when he along with Emily and St. Peter sings to Sir Pentious about Heaven's goodness in the song Like You during "Storyteller". However, the same episode also shows he's not very tactful and rather oblivious, such as when he unintentionally ridiculed Sir Pentious' name, and later tried to take one of Adam's guitars when Lute already was in a bad mental state.

It's implied that Abel never really received good comments or treatment from others, especially from his own father. For this reason, when Emily mentions Abel would handle things more fairly, Abel is seen blushing because of the compliment.

Vivziepop explains that, unlike his father, Abel is the soft one between them and the sweet son.[2] She describes him as an "innocent silly little guy".[3]

Abel hates any kind of conflict, which contrasts with his newly role as leader of the Exorcists. This is clearly seen during the rising tensions between Hell and Heaven, where Abel suffers several panic attacks because of his lack of preparation to lead the Exorcists and also showed indecisiveness about the best course of action. When Lute attempted to kill Vaggie while Pentagram City was threatened with destruction if the Hazbin Hotel group didn't destroy the Might of Lilith, Abel hesitated, wondering what his father would do. He finally mustered the courage to stand up to her firmly in "Curtain Call" when she was going against Sera's orders, ordering her to halt her attack and return to Heaven.

Longevity - As a son of Adam, Abel has existed for at least thousands of years, and presumably is unable to die of old age. Flight - Similar to other angels, Abel is able to fly thanks to his wings. Aureole - As seen in Hear My Hope, Abel can surround himself in light. This is a trait he shares with his father, and both use it to call for attention or assert authority over other beings. Pyligenesis - Like his father and other high ranking Angels, Abel was able to create a portal so he and Lute can return to Heaven and access hell. Skillset

Musical talent - During the songs Like You and Hear My Hope, Abel demonstrates phenomenal singing skills. Leadership - He was appointed as the new leader of the Exorcists after his father, Adam, died. He was unprepared, but in "Curtain Call," he was able to step into his position and order Lute to stand down. Family

Adam

"Shut up, Abel. Adam didn't even fucking like you." ―Lute, to Abel Adam was Abel's father. According to Vivziepop, Adam may or may not have been proud of Abel,[2] but Abel is not the favorite of his sons.[2]

As seen in "Storyteller", Abel himself is aware that Adam was very uncaring towards him, but still tries to harbor some positive feelings for his late father, such as allowing himself to be the new head of the Exorcists despite not liking the idea of revenge, and trying to keep one of Adam's guitars before Lute prevents him from doing so.

In "Curtain Call", Abel in a panic attack asks himself what he would think his father would do if he was in his place implying he still idolized his father despite everything.

Heaven

Emily and St. Peter

As seen in "Storyteller", Abel is shown to be good friends with Emily and St. Peter, as they are shown going around heaven and enjoying things in Heaven.

Sir Pentious

Emily, St Emily, St. Peter and Abel showing Sir Pentious around Heaven As of "Storyteller", Abel is acquainted with Sir Pentious. Although Abel tries to be friendly to Pentious, his unintentional ridicule and his enthusiasm about showing off Heaven have made Pentious uneasy.

In "Silenced", Abel marvels at Sir Pentious and Emily's idea of ​​bringing gift baskets to apologize to Hell for the Exterminations. Upon returning, Abel nervously tells Sir Pentious that the peace attempt failed with Vox's declaration of war.

In "Curtain Call", Abel flashes a smile as Sir Pentious happily receives a letter from his crush, Cherri Bomb.

Fellow Exorcists

Lute

Abel is scared by Lute Abel is scared by Lute Abel and Lute have a poor relationship. He was upset when Lute reminded him of Adam not caring about him, and later gloated about himself being the current head of the Exorcists instead of her. This uncharacteristic act of arrogance from Abel could potentially stem from jealousy of the fact that Lute was closer to his father than he was. He was also very unnerved and scared upon watching her having a meltdown over him trying to get one of Adam's guitars and after she sang Gravity.

In "Weapon of Mass Distraction", Abel is denigrated by Lute when she mocks his cowardice in leading the Exorcists and declares that he was not worthy of his halo.

Abel orders Lute to stop her attack Abel orders Lute to stop her attack In "Curtain Call", Abel and Lute are tasked with rescuing Emily from Hell, but Lute refuses to follow Abel in order to get revenge on Vaggi. During his panic attack, he finally finds the courage to save Vaggi and stop Lute, calling her a "bitch," which forces the lieutenant to obey him after seeing a resemblance between him and Adam.

Sera

"Whatever choice you make, your Highness, Heaven will be behind you." ―Abel, to Sera Sera is Abel's superior. Abel generally respects and doesn't question her much, as seen in "Storyteller", he is later called by Sera to a private meeting where she asks for his opinion on what actions will be made concerning the threat of Hell, but Abel was very hesitatant on the matter since he didn't like confrontation or revenge and was mostly unsure about it which didn't help her mostly, but tries his best to support her when she has to make a decision of what must be done.

Abel shares the same name as the second son of Adam and Eve in the biblical story of Genesis. In an interview, Vivziepop confirms that he is indeed the same figure.[2] According to Sera, Abel's father, Adam, is said to have been the first human soul to enter Heaven, despite the biblical Abel being the first human to have died, having been killed by his older brother Cain in a fit of jealous rage centuries before Adam was said to have died. In his solo on the song "Hear my Hope," Abel says, "Too bad that I'm not your braver son." Although he most likely meant that he was not brave like his father, it is also possible that he was referring to Cain. The horns on Abel's Exorcist helmet seem to resemble a sheep's horns, which could be a reference to the fact that Abel was stated to be a shepherd in the bible. Another reference is Abel's golf club during Like You being bent and crooked like a shepherd's staff. Another reference is that Abel's halo appears to have a dent on it, which is most likely a reference to his own death by being hit by a rock. The sheep horns on Abel's mask could be referencing when Abel sacrificed a sheep, which led to his murder by his brother, Cain. His helmet contrast with that of his father's whose horns ressemble those of a goat. This reflects on their natures, as goats are normally associated to rebellion and sin, while sheep are normally symbol of innocence and atonment, with their youngs (lambs) normally being used as sacrifices to God. When stressed or having a panic attack, he gets a nosebleed. In Hear my Hope, Sam Haft stated they wanted Abel to have his moment where he says "Bitch you better fall back" and while it's not very nice it's the most closet "Adam" thing Abel has ever said, and this song was like a Journey for Abel to being most like his Dad when saying this, which is like a light to Lute that makes her instantly fall in line to him
