Abel (XG)

Abel is a character in Xenogears.

Appearance and Personality
Being the original incarnation of Fei, Abel has an identical appearance to him, having brown eyes and long black hair. Abel primarily appears in the game as a child at the age of 7, only appearing as an adult in one scene.

Information on Abel's personality is limited. He was lonely and sad when on his own, but eventually met Elly. He rebelled against the positions of Cain and the Gazel Ministry, even though it put his life in danger.

Story arc
Abel was the original incarnation of Fei. 10,000 years before the events of the game he made contact with the Wave Existence which had been captured within the Zohar. Zohar enabled the power of the Wave Existence to flow into Abel, making him The Contact, the one destined to destroy Deus and enable the Wave Existence to return to the higher dimension. The Wave Existence incorporated the human nature of Abel and his mother's will, creating Elly as a part of the system meant to resurrect Deus.

Abel was the sole human survivor of the Eldridge crash, protected in his role as The Contact. All on his own, he was eventually found by the original Elly and lived with her from that point onwards. At that time Cain and the Gazel Ministry, the first humans born on the planet via Deus controlled the human civilization established on the planet in the aftermath of the Eldridge crash. Once grown up, Abel rebelled against this and as such Cain planned to kill him. However Elly stepped in the way, shielding Abel and died in his place.

Lore
Abel's name is drawn from the Bible, where he was the second son of Adam and Eve. Abel's older brother, Cain, envied him and killed him, the first murder in history.

The character directly inspired the character Abel that appears in the Xenosaga series.
