Abigor's Origins

Though Abigor is named after the "Great Duke of Hell" Abigor (a.k.a. Eligos), I think his appearance comes from other creatures. Christianity associates Satan with imagery of goats. The comic's Abigor resembles the common depiction of the demon Baphomet, who is also used as a symbol of Satanism (Sigil of Baphomet). This one also has a goat head, humanoid body, wings and a pentagram on the forehead, like the comic's character. I'm no expert on that topic, just found something about it. Sorry for using words some people don't want to see here, but the comic has references to demonology which can't be concealed (no censorship). --Grandy02 08:19, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
