Adán (Adam) is a figure expelled from paradise who merged with Zabiel to become the Indifferent Angel. Blind and armed with psychic blades, he is marked by betrayal, and his ribs circulate as objects of power.

Description
His skin is pale, white and unblemished, as if “carved in white marble”; he is wiry and athletic, with the features attributed to Arian. He is blind. His weapons are psychic blades, which need no sight; in Arboria he does not have them.
History
His story is told as three falls:
- Paradise. He ate an apple and was kicked out. On this there is no second version.
- Nature. He merged with Zabiel; since then he “is not only Adán” but the Indifferent Angel, two natures in one body.
- Loyalty. Tempted by Auro to betray his companions, he “always lived betraying” and planted the idea of the suicidal among his own. He was given a chance and let it go.
After the intervention of Lord Gaul, he was summoned to fight on Sariel’s side in the infernal conflict. His presence is intermittent; at a critical moment it was said: “Adán is not here”.
Relics
- Adán’s rib, an object of power. Two circulate: “the rib was Adán’s, Brutus gave another”.
- Adán’s sword, which opens chains. Engraved inside is «No me busquen» (“Do not look for me”).
Conflicting accounts
- One account says Adán forged the rib “like a great architect”; the wording of another only says the rib was his.
Open questions
- Of what is he blind, and since when? What is a psychic blade, and why does Arboria deny them?
- Who gave him the chance, and what was lost when he let it go?
- Does the sword open literal chains or a category of bonds?
- Are the three falls one story or episodes of different lines? Where is Adán now?
