Trivia

 * The Hebrew term "Abaddon" (: אֲבַדּוֹן, Avaddon, meaning "doom"), and its Greek equivalent "Apollyon" (: Ἀπολλύων, Apollýōn) appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an archangel of the abyss. In the Hebrew Bible, abaddon is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place שְׁאוֹל (Sheol), meaning the realm of the dead.
