Lore Abador takes the form of a elderly human male, donning dirty and tattered clothing and a worn cloak that hides his weathered visage from all those who would look upon him. He is a patient, plotting and vindictive god, having been known to wait decades to repay those who betray his teachings. Preferring to remain behind the scenes, rather than acting in obvious ways, Abador gains his power through sickness, plague and places where disease and filth are rampant. While he carries no visible weapons, his touch can cause sickness and weakness that could slay another immortal being.

Worshipers tend to be found where squalor is prevalent and tend to keep to themselves. This allows them to spread whatever horror they are seeking to sicken others with, before moving on to the next city or town. Priests of Abador are very transient for this reason and only have one temple. Located in Kasiq, the temple is rumored to be underground, in the sewers.
