Abaddon

Trivia

 * Abaddon's title, Lord of Avernus, is a reference to the famous crater in Italy, which was, in ancient times, believed to be the entrance to the underworld.


 * In DotA, Abaddon's third ability was originally called "Frostmourne." It was changed in the transition to Dota 2 due to copyright reasons, since Frostmourne exists as a famed weapon in the "Warcraft" universe. When using Curse of Avernus, Abaddon says 'The mistblade bites', which is similar to Arthas's Quote: "Frostmourne hungers". Similarly, his first ability was originally named "Death Coil", but was likely changed to differentiate it from the ability used by death knights in the "Warcraft" universe; one of his responses when using references the original name.


 * In the Christian Bible, Abaddon is the name of an angel who rises from the Abyss and commands an army of locusts. Coming from Hebrew, Abaddon as a name translates to "Destroyer".


 * Abaddon's response to killing "That Phoenix flew too close to the mist." is a reference to the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus where Icarus flew to close the sun and crashed to the sea when his wax wings melted.
 * Abaddon's appearance is possibly inspired by the Witch-king of Angmar and the Nazgûl. They are characters from J. R. R. Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings.
