Abiah's disturbing behavior has been a part of his character since childhood. Growing up in a secluded, religious town, his actions starkly contrasted with the town’s calm and supportive atmosphere. His violent tendencies became apparent early on, and he quickly gained a reputation for cruelty and unpredictability. Despite the town’s best efforts to integrate him into their peaceful way of life, Abiah consistently rebelled, culminating in acts of vandalism, such as smashing the church windows.
