Abaddon was allegedly born at the beginning of time, and remembers the birth of the solar system and the formation of Earth.[1] In Hell, he was a gatekeeper in the fifth ring of the sunless city, determining which souls would enter to be tortured and which souls would fall into the abyss.[2] He is allegedly married and considers his mother-in-law his greatest enemy.[3] Abaddon took great delight in his job, fondly recalling memories of attaching various body parts to different places. When Abaddon was ten-thousand years old, he was sent to Earth to cause destruction. He went to the newly-settled Midwich, New York, and possessed a random boy. However, he didn't know that the boy's father was a priest, and he was quickly found out by the townsfolk. The townsfolk took Abaddon to the future site of The Undervale and the priest conducted a ritual to destroy Abaddon's essence. He bound Abaddon in chains, and then bound his spirit to his vessel's body to prevent him from escaping. As the priest began the spell to destroy him, Abaddon rushed the priest and took them both over the cliff. The priest was killed when he hit the ground, but Abaddon's vessel survived due to his immortality. Now bound to the mortal's body forever, Abaddon decided to stay at the site and wait for someone from Hell to come looking for him.[2] Unknown to Abaddon, a cult would eventually form around him and would search for him to bring about the apocalypse.

One-hundred years after the ritual, Abaddon began leaving the site at night to cause trouble in Midwich. He would break into peoples' homes and steal their things, and generally cause trouble for the townsfolk. Over the next two-hundred years, the owners of the Undervale property would attempt to contain Abaddon through various means -- such as burying him alive, drowning him in the lake, chaining him in the attic, and sending him to a boarding school that focused on "tough love". None of these worked, and Abaddon would return to his old ways every time.[2]

In 2015, Abaddon encountered the Pillowcase Killer during his yearly return to the property. They got into a fight and he stole Abaddon's trilby, and Abaddon would hold a grudge against him for the next decade.[5] At some point in the past, he entered a temporary alliance with the deer that lived on the property to destroy Mothman.[2]

After Nathan Freeling moved into the Undervale, he found Abaddon in a ditch on the hotel property. Not initially knowing he was a demon, he decided to take him in and raise him in the hotel.[3][4] After Nathan's death in 2024, his sister Katherine and her children moved into the hotel and discovered its supernatural residents. Her daughter Esther took an interest in the supernatural and bonded with Abaddon over their shared affinity for chaos.

Despite his advanced age, Abaddon is just as childish as the vessel he inhabits. He is easily distracted, extremely vindictive, and prone to violent mood swings. He is incredibly narcissistic, believing himself to still be superior to humans despite being trapped in a child's body without the majority of his powers. Abaddon's actions are driven solely by his own desires and self-satisfaction. He has no regard for how his actions affect people around him, and willfully ignores any and all rules or restrictions that are placed on him. He is prone to tunnel vision, focusing on a single task or concept to the point of obsession, and will not let up until his desires are met.

Abaddon displays various feral tendencies, likely a result of living in the wild for so long. He has been seen hunting and consuming small animals and built a nest in the elevator after destroying the lobby to assert dominance over his reflection. He is also very ignorant of modern technology, believing that televisions are "prison boxes" that hold shrunken-down people in them and completely unable to comprehend how to click a computer mouse and instead kept ringing the hotels' service bell. However, some of Abaddon's behavior can be explained by religious reality. He is noted as having a fear of wooden wind chimes, which were used to ward off demons and evil spirits, and his attacking his reflection is based on a belief that demons can't see their own reflection

In his true form, Abaddon is a large demon with a large, circular torso, a long, thin neck, and inverted goat legs. He has six long arms, five mouths,[2] four horns, and three spaded tails. He has moderate red eyes with diamond-shaped pupils and pointed ears.

Because Abaddon felt uncomfortable in the body of a child, Esther performed a ritual where she helped him take on the form of a 20-year-old man with champagne pink skin, dark-brown hair and cobalt blue eyes. When he becomes more passionate, his eyes become dark red and his pupils contract. His bangs are swept to the right with the rest of hair falling in front of his ears. In his vessel, Abaddon wears a long-sleeved Payne's gray doublet with a white rounded collar and thick white cuffs. The front of the jacket is accented with a row of small gold buttons and is held together by a dark-brown belt. He wears coffee-brown breeches, white tights, and black-brown latchets with gold buckles. Underneath his doublet, he wears a white tank top.

Immortality: Abaddon is immortal. He has survived many life-threatening situations, though not unscathed, and was able to live through the history of Earth hundreds of times. Whether he's able to regenerate himself isn't entirely clear, as he has survived being impaled and having his limbs chopped off, but his arms are re-attached with packing tape.[5] As seen in "The Acolytes of Abaddon", he survived sitting in a lake for two days straight and can even survive in the vacuum of space.[4] Magic: He once used a spell to kill a plant and was going to teach Esther how to turn a man's shadow against him. It is implied that the priest's ritual locked the majority of his abilities, as he was able to fly and destroy large meteors with a single blast of magic when Hell came to Earth.[4] Telekinesis: In Unfinished Business, Abaddon claimed that in Hell, he could remove a Man's limbs with his Mind. Possession: Abaddon is able to possess human beings to walk on Earth undetected. He seems to be able to use some of his demonic abilities while in a vessel, such as his immortality and his ability to practice magic. Sonic Scream: Abaddon is capable of screaming loud enough and at a high enough frequency that it can shatter glass.[2] However it does also seem to tire him out a bit. Superhuman Strength: When his powers were restored, Abaddon was able to lift and destroy debris with no visible effort.

Salt: Abaddon is unable to cross lines of purified salt. Binding Ritual: Abaddon's spirit was bound to his current vessel by a powerful spell, and he is unable to move to another body.

A single mother of two struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas. The hotel is very large with many rooms and floors. Previously, on the site of the hotel there was a mental hospital, a prison, and then another mental hospital. Only later it became a hotel, which Nathan won in a dispute. After his death, the hotel became the property of Katherine, who did not know that ghosts had been living here for many times, from the ghosts of children to murderers. Despite their harmlessness, due to the fact that ghosts cannot interact with objects and living people, their presence still scares off potential guests.
