Abaddon

Abaddon (アバドン, Abadon) is a recurring demon in the series. It is a name based on biblical lore.

History
Abaddon is a Biblical term in Hebrew which means "place of destruction" and is a fiery plain in the realm of the dead, Gehenna. In the later teachings of Revelation, Abaddon had become a being that personified the abyss, becoming known as the "Angel of the Abyss". He is depicted often as a large human-sized locust and leads a swarm of locusts and other insects that carry infectious diseases. In this respect, he is often associated with the swarms of locusts that sometimes destroy entire crop fields and in the The Greater Key of Solomon was said to be called upon by Moses to cause the great rains during the Ten Plagues of Egypt.

While in many circles he is considered to be associated with Satan, even going as far as to claim that Abaddon is another name for Satan, Jehovah's Witnesses believe he is a more righteous figure, and was charged with casting Satan down into the abyss and sealing him within.
