Abel Nightroad Husbando

Abel Nightroad, also known as Crusnik 02 and born Abel Knightlord, is the main protagonist in the series. He is a member of the AX division of the Vatican Ministry of Holy Affairs who is referred to by his codename, "Crusnik" as an agent of the AX. Originally, he hated humans because of their role in the creation and experimentation of the four test tube babies for the Red Mars Project, but he ultimately changed his mind after the death of Lilith Sahl. Abel is a handsome young man with long silvery hair that is tied up by a black ribbon, blue-gray eyes and he wears small, gray, round glasses with a double bridge (it is mentioned he has silver hair (sometimes blonde-silver), he appears to be thirty years old, he is six feet tall and he weighs one hundred forty-three pounds in the novels). In his Krusnik form, Abel's eyes turn red and a pair of fangs poke between his lips which turn black. He also has a pair of black wings and a red scythe created from his blood: which is stronger than steel and harder than diamond. The wings allow him to fly in the sky and have the ability to generate bio-electric fields. He wears a black priest robe with embroidered crosses, white gloves and he has two black belts around his hips under the coat. In The Throne of Roses arc of the manga, he is depicted as a black-eared "The White Rabbit", as opposed to his white-eared brother. His arcana in Thores' tarot cards is The Fool, a reference to his personality and status as the main character. Abel appears most often as a clumsy and silly man who is completely unfit for his job. If he is in the company of others, his reactions tend to be comically exaggerated and ridiculous, which often leaves everyone around him exasperated or embarrassed. However, most of his day-to-day actions and reactions are a facade, when he is alone or caught off guard, his personality is typically fairly quiet and morose. This is mostly due to the fact that, in the distant past, he helped to wage a war of annihilation against the remaining humans on Earth, believing that coexistence between them and the returning Methuselah was impossible, and hating humanity in general for his creation and use. In private, he is also far more competent and thoughtful than he pretends to be. In battle, he usually attempts to disarm or subdue rather than kill. If the situation calls for killing however, he is not averse to doing so, though in the anime this is somewhat inconsistently portrayed. Activation of his Krusnik nanomachines adds a detached and ruthless quality to his personality so long as the activation was purposeful. If the nanomachines reach the forefront of his consciousness, as they did in one particular case of incidental 80% activation, he essentially loses his humanity and becomes little more than a sapient, bloodthirsty weapon of mass destruction. Despite being nearly unstoppable in his 80% fused form, Abel only uses his Krusnik abilities as a last resort, mostly out of shame. As such, he is far more likely to transform if nobody else is around. Due to his genetically enhanced nature, he is extremely intelligent, and this combined with his pre-Armageddon lifespan gives him exceptional skill at manipulating even the most advanced technological systems. He displays many odd quirks throughout the series, such as putting thirteen sugars lumps in his tea, and is always short of money. He is noted as having terrible luck as well.
