Character Profile: Abel Cargill

Abel is the only child of Elijah and Marguerite Cargill. What Abel lacked in common sense, he made up for in self-confidence and bravado. Heavy-handed with the help, he was even more treacherous when fueled by alcohol and drugs, which he was on most occasions. His father had placed him in charge of transportation operations for their worldwide medical charity.

Abel was a foul-mouthed womanizer who knew how to schmooze and bribe government and municipality officials, using his father’s money, of course. His fuse was short, he was prone to physical violence, and he did not tolerate insolence or the questioning of his authority. The weekly dosing of steroids only added to his inability to assess a situation before acting upon his emotions.

Daddy tolerated his bad habits because Abel got shit done.
