Abel Nightroad's History

Abel was a short-tempered person in his youth, angry with humans for using himself and other genetically-enhanced humans as tools for colonizing Mars. He served as the lieutenant-colonel and in charge of the management of the security division in the Red Mars Project, a project created in response to an overpopulation crisis on Earth. His rank was below Cain Knightlord and above Seth Nightlord.

During this the Mars Colonization project, several colonizers who disliked Abel lured him into the Martian wilderness and ambushed him, damaging his environmental suit and leaving him to die. Just as Abel was about to die from oxygen deprivation, Lilith Sahl rescues him, however, Lilith’s vehicle broke down on the way back. It was during this time that the two found a highly technologically advanced spaceship, later known as "the Ark".

Inside the Ark, they found the Kudlak Bacillus and Krusnik Bacillus (nanomachines). The Krusnik Bacillus was found to be only compatible with the genetically enhanced humans after it was used to save Cain's life but killed a normal colonizer, and so the Kudlak Bacillus was given to the 100,000 colonizers of the Red Mars Project. Eventually, nuclear war broke out on Earth as they fought for the Kudlak Bacillus and the Ark, and the same occurred on Mars as they had representatives from every country.

Eighty years later, the colonizers were finally able to rebuild a spaceship to travel back to Earth. Not long after however, due to the Earth's closer proximity to the sun, the colonizers started showing symptoms of vampirism. A rift started between the "returners" and the humans on Earth. The time period of this war that followed was known as "The Dark Ages".

During the Dark Ages, Abel, Cain and Seth sided with the colonizers. Using the power of the Krusnik nanomachines, Abel, Cain and Seth were responsible for the death of millions. As one of the Contra Mundi ("enemy of the world"), he had been called "a God of slaughter", "God of Carnage", and even a "God of Destruction", a name which Dietrich uses to provoke him.

Lilith (Abel's former lover) sided with the humans but was killed by Cain under the guise of a truce. Enraged, Abel and Seth forced Cain into an airlock and dropped him all the way from outer space into the Earth's atmosphere. Abel spent the next nine hundred years mourning Lilith's death, until Caterina Sforza ran into the the catacombs, fleeing from a vampire attack. Abel saves her and promises to continue Lilith's legacy.

Current Timeline

During the main events of Trinity Blood, Abel is a very different person as he is now a priest under the AX Division of the Vatican's Department of Foreign Affairs both to protect and foster peace between the two races.

Although Abel usually maintains a childish and goofy demeanor, he is unable to forgive himself for his past atrocities. He refers to himself many times as a 'sinner' and a 'monster'. He does not argue with other character's accusations of himself as such, rather he is more likely to agree with them. Because he considers himself a sinner, he has made his life's goal to protect the humans, although his goal for destroying Cain Knightlord is not completely for selfless reasons.

In the novels, Abel replies he does believe in God when asked by Vaclav Havel. Trinity Blood Canon: Summa Theologica, however, it is stated that Abel does not really have a solid religion, however, he believes in the goodwill of fate.
