In his youth, Abaddon, was a free-spirited individual who did things on a whim, taking no mind to what others may have thought. A rebellious youngster with something to prove and was driven by his emotions resulting in some careless behavior. Yet he was respectful and polite to those around him, especially the elder generation. Abaddon was naïve in his early love affairs; Loving deeply and recklessly, regardless of the consequences. He was one to crave the thrill of adventure and danger finding he was often engaged in high risk-taking behavior.
Due to taking a dangerously high risk endeavor, Abaddon would be forever scarred warping himself into this new and dangerous creature. Taking on a new outlook on life, as well as a sudden personality change with some of his previous characteristics heightened more so than others. As time passed he found it easier to block out basic feelings resulting in a very dangerous individual. Without his emotions acting as a compass to guide him, he was lost within himself. Abaddon can and is often described as sinister, dangerous, cold, ruthless, unsympathetic, and generally very different compared to his former self. Resulting in an aristocratic, elegant demeanor with a very pragmatic outlook on life. Smooth, handsome, charming, witty and fully aware of it, Abaddon carries himself with an air of supreme confidence (and at times, pure arrogance).
Other basic personality traits include unmerciful, remorseless, careless, cruel, arrogant, and impulsive. Abaddon is also seductively charming and a very dark, compelling character. Finding himself to have become vain, proud, and self-absorbed individual while generally shows an unsympathetic and uncaring attitude toward others. Using whatever and whomever he can to get what he wants; not caring about who he hurts in the process. Because of his highly vain and selfish personality, Abaddon often resorts to either the use of manipulation, threats, or direct coercion in order to get his own way. However, when on occasions where he fails to get what he is after, Abaddon usually displays remarkable temper control. Often viewing such happenings with amusement and curiosity rather than outright frustration. He generally acts flippant and constantly plays word games when dancing around issues. Especially when these issues are directed to his own personal feelings or true intentions. Abaddon doesn’t appear to take life too seriously; he seems to have a rather careless and impulsive approach to many situations.
Abaddon is a very deep, passionate, lustful, and ardent lover resulting in an intense view when delving into love affairs. He is also highly prone to extreme acts of jealousy/envy, possessiveness, chauvinism, and egotistical tendencies when it comes to the opposite sex. Mostly described to be a highly selfish lover and has the desire to possess women especially strong, beautiful women. Abaddon has a rather shallow outlook on what real, true love is. He has described his ideal mate as a strong, physically beautiful, powerful, passionate, and strong willed creature (exactly as how he describes himself). However, despite his highly sexual nature, Abaddon can be capable of romanticism, tender, compassion, and can become highly affectionate. Although he has had many love affairs with various different woman during his life, he has never experienced real, true love at a much deeper level.

Though this could be caused by significant violent history he had to endure in his younger free-spirited days.
Despite his generally dark, sinister, and uncaring nature there are some redeeming qualities from before his life changing event that can still be found within the turmoil. Loyalty and trust are two of the qualities that still carry over to his rather chaotic state, but he will not give them out freely. Abaddon still holds onto a certain amount of sympathy and kindness that can be followed with caring and protectiveness, though it is uncommon for those outside of his trusted few to see such things. Instead he prefers letting those on the outside see the monster that he is portrayed to be. Yet, never, would he consider allowing any of his friends to fall into the chaos that he himself had fallen into and will go to any lengths to see that it doesn’t happen.
Unlike the other elementals, Abaddon has chosen to become the monster that they cannot be. Allowing his darker nature to take a stronger foothold; In a sense saving them from the fate that he has brought upon himself and to protect them. Despite his flaws, Abaddon is very loyal, cares about certain lives, and even shows quite a bit of remorse for the mistakes he made. Deep down under his confident exterior, Abaddon appears to be somewhat insecure about the permanent marks on his soul, and implores others not to worry but knowing this is what is best to protect them, briefly displaying an uncharacteristic gentleness and emotional vulnerability.
