Abaddon has a depressing backstory tbh
First off, imagine it was the 1700s, you had (probably) loving parents, your father is a priest and you’re happy. Then, this random creature spawns and asks to take over your body. After some negation, you agree. Suddenly, you don’t know what’s happening, you have no control over your body and have to watch as your own body starts terrorizing everyone and everything. Then, your father declares you as possessed by a demon, ties you up and now you’re surrounded by the townsfolk you had thought of as friends. Your own father then burns a cross into your chest and apparently, this ‘demon’ is bound to your body. Almost worse than that, then your body decides to kill your father by pushing him off the ledge of a cliff. Then, for centuries, you have to watch as you have no control over your body and experience everything this ‘demon’ puts you through. Poor kid.
In the father’s perspective, his son was happy one day and suddenly terrorizing the village the next. Declaring him as possessed, he ties up his own son (or asks someone else to do it for him) and burns a cross into him, having to ignore the scream of pain coming from what looks to be his child. Before he can rid his son of the demon inside of him, he’s then pushed off of the cliff by, again, his child, only to meet his demise as he’s pierced by a sharp rock, the last thing he saw was his child, that really, wasn’t his child anymore.
The mother’s perspective is much like her husband’s, with seeing her child frolicking in fields one day and causing havoc the next. Her husband declares their child as possessed and she has to watch as her own son is tied up and bound to this ‘demon’. She has to hear as her child screams in pain and watch as both her son and husband go off of the cliff, only to never see them again, as she presumes both of them as dead.
But, what if Abaddon had properly been exorcised out of the child he possessed?
Assuming all participants survived, the child would most likely be traumatized and physically scarred, while his father would forever experience the guilt of hurting his son for the greater good. His mother would probably be around her son more often, whether to protect him or just to make sure that never happens again.
Honestly, this is just me having thoughts in the middle of the night. Decided to share them. :D
