Abel Nightroad, also known as Abel Knightlord, Crusnik 02 and Father, is the main protagonist from the Trinity Blood series.
Charactah Account[]
Abel Nightroad, a priest within the Catholic Church, presents himself initially as an individual prone to clumsiness and forgetfulness. Upon closer scrutiny, he is revealed to be a Crusnik, a vampire of extraordinary and ancient lineage who has been in existence for centuries. This unique creature sustains his life by ingesting the blood of other vampires. Despite his formidable capabilities, he adheres to a strict code of pacifism, often opting not to take the lives of his opponents directly. He maintains this commitment even in situations of significant adversity.
Through a series of flashbacks, it is discerned that Abel once nurtured profound animosity towards humanity. Over time, this outlook has transformed into a steadfast dedication to peace and non-aggression. While he concedes to having engaged in substantial transgressions in his past, the precise details of these actions are left ambiguous. His current disposition is largely influenced by an imperative for redemption. His feelings for Esther Blanchett are not merely romantic in nature; they are reflective of her likeness to a significant female figure from his storied past.
In his guise as a human, Abel employs a firearm that propels silver bullets, which are known to be particularly effective against vampiric beings. As a Crusnik, he is endowed with the power to metamorphose into various forms, an ability that is activated by the nanomachines intrinsic to his biological makeup. His more advanced incarnations involve the brandishing of a colossal scythe, which materializes from his own vital fluids.
The narrative further elucidates that before the unfolding of the Armageddon events, Abel served with distinction as a Commander in the UN Air and Space Force, contributing to the "Red Mars" initiative. This disclosure in "The Star Of Sorrow II" provides insight into his extensive background and the multifaceted nature of his identity and experiences.

- The name "Abel" is derived from the biblical figure Abel, who was the second son of Adam and was killed by his brother Cain. Abel is also recognized as the biblical King of Martyrs.
- Similar to Seth Nightlord, the final two digits of Abel's UN ID number imply that his birth surname might have been "Knightlord," a name that Cain Knightlord continues to use.
