Abel

It's a wooden mannequin, however, to differentiate it from the other NPCs, a smiley face was drawn on it.Abel acts as if he were a character with deep motivations:

He is astute and observant, knowing details of other people's behavior.

He appears anxious and desperate to convince others that there is a way out.

He talks about knowing details about Kinger and others, which makes him seem connected to the real world.Although Abel initially presents himself as a human trapped there, or even one of the original programmers who knows how to escape, Caine later convinces everyone that he is an NPC created by him to give meaning to an adventure organized by the latter.

In episode 7, Abel appears on the beach and arranges a meeting with Pomni, Ragatha, and Jax. He tells them he knows how to escape the circus and helps them infiltrate what he claims is Caine's secret office, where there's a console with buttons that would supposedly allow the protagonists to escape.

The plan seems to be working… until Caine finally appears and tricks everyone into believing it was all part of an adventure he orchestrated, with Abel merely acting as part of the scenery. Then an NPC mimicking Abel appears to convince everyone of Caine's story.

Finally, Caine "eliminates" him because he was becoming too intelligent; however, the real Abel was outside the office unaware of the true situation.
