Abel was a runaway slave.[1]
Appearance[]
Abel had his hair and beard streaked with gray.[1]
The Long Utopia[]
Abel and his grandson Simon were runaway slaves.[1] They escaped from New Orleans with the help of the Underground Rail Road and Oswald Hackett who brought them stepwise.
In August 2052, Oswald came back with Luis Valienté and Fraser Burdon, where Abel and Simon were waiting for them, to take the two runaways aboard the River Goddess to Memphis where they will change again and again until they reach the free states.
