Abel (Persona)

Abel (アベル, Aberu) is a Persona in the Persona -trinity soul- anime.

History
Abel is one of the many sons of the first man Adam as mentioned in the Abrahamic religions. While he was a humble shepherd, he was caught in a sibling rivalry initiated by his brother Cain, who was a farmer. In settling a dispute between them, God ordered the two to offer sacrifice to Him. Cain thought he would lose profits if he offered a good sacrifice, and settled with old and withered grains, while Abel offered the best of his livestock. God accepted Abel's sacrifice, which infuriated Cain who swore that he would kill the shepherd. Abel's murder is cited as the first homicide on Earth, and his burial by Cain inspired mankind's practice of burying the dead.
