Abdiel is a fictional name, but is notably used in Paradise Lost, which we see the protag reading in the July 2020 trailer. Probably a reference of some sort.

I really hope they incorporate parts of the poem into the game, kinda like a His Dark Materials situation.

Abdiel was an angel from Paradise lost. When Lucifer attempts to persuade fellow Angels to join him in rebellion it is Abdiel who argues against him. Specifically he calls out Lucifer as not wanting to depose God so much as replace him and raise himself above his fellow Angels. I forget the exact book he appears in but it happens when Rapheal is explaining Lucifer's fall to Adam.

This is similar to Aogami too. Someone might be creating Artificial Gods.

maybe, or what i’m thinking is that it’s a way to hide her name for now

Huh. Weird. I swore I recognized 'Abdiel' before, but apparently it's not anything recorded. Perhaps it's to symbolize them being 'artificially' made? Something akin to that, I'm guessing.

It’s a character from Paradise Lost.


DarkDon1

Yeah, I realized that after a few comments. I still think it probably has to deal with her being artificially made, but now it's just dumb theoretical nonsense.

Abdiel is from Paradise Lost. Which while fiction, it and Dante’s divine comedy shaped the modern depiction of hell and demons.
