History[]
Background[]
Abner described himself as a crappy angel and petulant, he spent 700 years in Heaven's prison for abandoning his post. During his imprisonment, Abner was abused by the angel guard Thaddeus for countless centuries while also befriending fellow inmate Gadreel. From the talk between Gadreel and Thaddeus, it was implied that Abner received extreme torture from Thaddeus.
After the fall of the angels, he took possession of Alexander Sarver in Sommerset, Pennsylvania. Abner was nicer and more loving, and both his vessel's daughter and wife came to adore the "new" Alexander.
While Alexander's family went to see a movie, Abner and Gadreel had a long conversation about the current state of things. He forgave all past wrongs, was content with his new human life, and refused to follow the path of revenge and conquest with Gadreel. This did not please the embittered angel and he killed Abner along with his vessel, Alexander.
