Abaddon

Abaddon was a Demon and the son of the Beast, imprisoned beneath the Cardiff rift. (TW: End of Days) The Ood named Abaddon however, as a name for the Beast itself. (DW: The Satan Pit)


 * The Disciples of the Light, who imprisoned Abaddon's father, may have also have imprisoned Abaddon.

Bilis Manger, considering himself Abbadon's servant, set in motion of series of events designed to manipulate the entire Torchwood 3 team into using a technological device to open the Rift and so release the demon. This done, the Rift released Abaddon and he appeared.



The shadow of Abaddon killed any person who it fell upon and fed upon their life energy. Only the undying Jack Harkness stood in his way. He was eventually killed by Abaddon, the Demon dying in the process due to the excess life. However, Jack was ressurected by Gwen Cooper a few days later by a kiss of life. (TW: End of Days)
