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. She describes him as an "innocent silly little guy". 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.

ABILITIES: 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.

SKILL SET 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.

During Sir Pentious trial in Heaven after he was redeemed and ascended, Abel was sitting along with St. Peter and when Lute was about to make her statement about what she will do, Abel interrupted her to cut in and as he introduced himself as the son of Adam while saying "rest in peace" to his father, he said "as much as he wanted to honor his dearly departed dad", he wanted to say something before Lute cuts him off telling him that Adam didn't even like him which Abel sadly acknowledged, and said that facts aside it might be good for them to stay on the subject of this color snake thing Sir Pentious. As Abel listened to Sir Pentious story and The Speaker of God welcomed him to Heaven, Abel noted how it was cute, and when Sir Pentious told them that he doesn't use his real name "Pendleton" anymore and instead implores them to call him Sir Pentious, Abel figures out what his name means as it's like a serpent and calls it clever and adorable. When Lute was about to declare herself as the head of Heaven's Exorcist army, she was interrupted by Abel who then put on an Exorcist helmet and then told her that he's the new head of the Exorcists and tells her "sorry", and when Lute questioned this Emily told him that Abel's Adam's son and thus his heir, and they thought he would handle things in this situation more fairly which Abel blushes too. And later as the meeting is adjourned, Sera then tells Abel to stand by for what their next action will be regarding his father's death, and Abel replies "yepperoni" while he leaves by flying off. Abel is seen along with St. Peter, while Emily takes Sir Pentious on a tour though the wonderful things in Heaven, and tells them they will get to be his friends while showing him fun things in Heaven, but Sir Pentious is still saddened by his current situation. Afterwards Abel is later seen along with St. Peter in a private meeting room with Sera, where she tells them they need to discuss what actions will need to be taken regarding how much a threat Hell could be now, and Abel tells her that they are ready and waiting with their knives and helmets and other "pointy things" and tells her not to stress so much as it'll hurt her tummy, Sera then asks what they should do but he nervously replies while going under the table that he doesn't like confrontation and he doesn't like the idea for going down for revenge, but he says that they kinda did kill his dad so he maybe considers it but says he's pretty okay with either option, and as Sera thanks them for their time and suggestions, as Abel leaves he tells her whatever choice she makes Heaven will be behind her. Abel then comes into Adam's office, when just about came in and was having a breakdown, he came in he said he was sorry for interrupting her while she was in a dark time, he then asked if he could get one of his dad's old guitars to remember him by, but Lute furiously tells him to get out as he is about to take the guitar and Abel leaves, and afterwards comes back into the room and he sees Lute trashing Adam's office and immediately leaves as she stares back at him. Abel attends a meeting with Lute, Sera and Emily where they watch Charlie Morningstar from above desperately trying to contact them. After Emily convinces Sera to go down to Hell Emily suggests to Sir Pentious that they should apologize to Hell with gift baskets to which Abel notes on that saying who doesn't love gift baskets and Sir Pentious suggests that Charlie would love Gift baskets with chocolate too and Abel says they could throw in a cheese assortment while pushing Lute out of the way and adds taffies and teddy bears that spell "sowwy for the violence", and Later goes down to hell through a portal. Down in Hell they find Charlie who is happy to see them. Abel proudly announces his contribution to the gift baskets but Charlie turns them down because she is disappointed at Sir Pentious's absence until she realizes she can ask the angels to tell Vox and everyone in Hell that redemption is possible at his upcoming rally. While Abel questions who Vox even is Charlie tells him that he is a guy with a TV head and then he and the other angels agree to help out and come to Vox's rally and show that Vox is a liar and show they are sorry as long as they get to apologize. When Abel appears in front of Vox's rally with gift baskets in hand Vox is shocked by them thinking they have to silence them but Emily tells them they have come to apologize for the Exterminations, and when Vox notices they have Gift baskets they have and cannot believe they have come to apologize with Gift baskets for Genocide Abel tries to defuse the situation by telling them about how good the assorted taffies are, which Vox mocks them on for thinking their lives are worth really good taffies which is what Heaven thinks of them which aggravates the crowd. Vox spins it for his own advantage convincing everyone that the angels want to flex their powers on them because they can't stand hell landed a big hit on them when Adam got killed, and when Vox calls them out for trying to apologize for what they did, Vox calls them out for this saying why would any of them forgive them and the crowd relentless on this calling them out for why would they forgive them which makes Abel feel a lot of Negativity here, and when Vox calls them out for their Hollow and vapid words and mocking them with trinkets, thinking that could ever make up for the Sinners that have fallen. Taunting them with how little they matter to them, he then shows them the pictures of the Exterminations which shocks and horrified him, and Vox calls them out for being full of shit and declares hell will rise and this rally the crowd which makes Abel Nervous since this isn't going the way they wanted at all, and as Sera transforms and declares that Sinners like him is the reason she allowed the Exterminations this makes everything worse in the end as Vox officially declares holy war to Heaven, Abel distressed by this throws the gift baskets away and leaves with the other angels in Heaven. Terrified he informs Sir Pentious of what happened down there was not chill and is forced to prepare for war. Abel appears worried and hides behind a desk in Adam's office after Vox's announcement to Heaven after he attacks heaven with the Might of Lilith, and in the council meeting he tells Sera that he not prepared for all this and asks her how does he expect to handle an apocalyps after Vox makes his first hit on Heaven. He also tries to defuse the conflict between Emily and Lute who are arguing about deferent approaches to the problem, while Abel says both of them kind of have a point only for both to get angry at him. When Sera announces to prepare the troups Abel starts to worry and cry since he is not ready but is relieved when Sera tell him to tell the army to stand down until further notice. Later him and Lute talk about going down in Hell to fight with Abel clearly nervous. Lute aggressively tells him he is not worthy of his father's crown and he knows there's no stopping the war now. Abel and Lute are ordered to retrieve a hurt Emily from Hell's battlefield after her wing being eviscerated by Vox's cannon. Unfortunately Lute uses that opportunity to try and kill Vaggi for revenge. Abel begs Lute to just take Emily and leave but she fights Vaggi and while Abel says that this isn't what they talked about, everyone begs Abel for help and he has an anxiety attack and hides in a rock. He then asks himself what his father would have done. He then finally gains confidence and stands up to Lute, telling her there's no reason for attack and that they should leave and that she should fall back while donning his mask, then Lute sees Adam in Abel and retreats. Back in Heaven the Angels rebuild the gate and await the arrival of new redeemed sinners with Abel himself waiting. He also sees Lute flying away in enraged and looks at his mask melancholily.

FAMILY: Adam: Adam was Abel's father. Adam may or may not have been proud of Abel, but Abel is not the favorite of his sons. 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. Eve: Eve is Abel's mother. It's unknown what their relationship is like beyond being related by blood.

FRIENDS: Emily: Emily appears to have a good opinion of Abel, considering him capable enough in handling the Extermination situation more fairly. She and Abel get along quite well, having a positive and friendly relationship. In "Storyteller", they and Peter team up to give Sir Pentious a proper welcome to Heaven to make sure he can enjoy it there. In "Silenced", Abel marvels at Sir Pentious and Emily's idea of ​bringing gift baskets to apologize to Hell for the Exterminations. In "Curtain Call", he is worried about Emily after witnessing her getting hurt by the Might of Lilith and he and Lute were sent to rescue her. Charlie, along with Emily and Vaggi, then begged Abel to stop Lute and then witnessed Abel standing up to Lute after the latter attempted to kill Vaggi. St. Peter: As seen in "Storyteller", Abel is shown to be good friends with St. Peter, as they are shown going around heaven and enjoying things in Heaven, as well as sitting together in Heaven's courtroom. Sir Pentious: 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.

OTHERS: 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. 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 father's role. 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.

HAZBIN HOTEL STAFF: Charlie Morningstar: In "Silenced", Charlie meets Abel after Emily, Sera and Lute came down to visit her and later stated that the taffies were his contribution. Later, he questioned Charlie on what Vox is. Charlie then saw Abel, along with Sera and Emily, being scared and uncomfortable after Vox turned the sinners against them and left Hell after Charlie begged for them to come back. In "Curtain Call", Charlie, along with Emily and Vaggi, then begged Abel to stop Lute and then witnessed Abel standing up to Lute after the latter nearly killed Vaggi. Vaggi: Abel doesn't interact with her much, but when Charlie, along with Emily and Vaggi, then begged Abel to stop Lute and then witnessed Abel standing up to Lute after the latter nearly killed Vaggi.

OVERLORDS: Vox: In "Silenced", when Sera, Emily, Charlie, and Lute along with Abel interrupt Vox's show, Vox makes fun of them their attempt to apologize with gift baskets, which Abel responds by saying that they have assorted taffies, which makes Vox tell the sinners at his rally, that angels think their lives are worth "really good taffies". Abel was later scared when Vox declared war against Heaven.
