Abe Graham

Abe Graham is one of Pinhead Miyamoto's right-hand men, as well as his trusted back-up muscle. He is considered by the police to be the least threatening man in the group.

Profile
Abe was born to rather normal middle class parents, one of four children. The family moved to upper Harlem when Abe was about to go into high school, and right on his first year, he was bullied for his timid nature but befriended Carrie Giuliante. She introduced him to upperclassman Iwao Miyamoto right as Iwao was forming his gang, giving Abe a bit of notoriety and protection from bullies. He split from the gang for a few years to attend a community college, where he became a certified plumber, but found steadier pay as a shipment driver in the Emmett Group when he rejoined in 1996.

Abe's friendship with Pinhead became strained when Pinhead went with him to work with the Yakuza in his birthtown, where Abe was treated by members as an untouchable hulking beast. After Pinhead nearly died of a Codeine overdose, Clay Emmett persuaded Abe to stay the Miyamoto Group to keep Pinhead in line. Initially Abe didn't take the role seriously, but in light of Clay's death, has become more and more of a bodyguard. He doesn't like being around Pinhead when he's drunk, as this leads to flirtations at Abe's expense.

The most contact he's had with any of the Westbury police is when he grabbed and attempted to detain Mara Wright. By nature, he's not likely to harm anyone, but turns into an incredible fighter when threatened. Secretly he's embarrassed by Pinhead's detective massacre and hopes to leave as soon as his contract ends, if not sooner.

Personality
Abe is very shy and soft-spoken, speaking his mind when he feels he must but otherwise coming off as very meditative. He takes care of the rest of the close gang, particularly Cora, but is very anxious around Pinhead out of a secret lack of trust. He's very proud of his oft-elaborate hairstyles, really the only thing he induldges in, and lives a very orderly and private life in a single apartment. He seems to have a developing crush on Meifun Yan.

Physical Appearance
Abe is particularly tall and well-built, with hair going down his back that has been straightened and fastened into woven braids. His face is always adorned with small sunglasses, which barely obscure his eyes. He tends to wear light, loose clothes or whatever seems comfortable to him, including muscle shirts in warmer weather.

Design & Conception
Abe was originally designed in late 2010 as a lackey for the failed reboot of Skipper the Robot Kid, conceived as being 25 years old, an external agent and a "gentle giant". Months later, Fauna tested his design out in Fragments of Manhattan, and made him into a reoccurring character to make Pinhead's gang racially-diverse.
