Salutations, permettez-moi de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à bord de Satanic Coupler, merci à vous. Laisse-moi me présenter. Je suis le conducteur du train et mon nom est Abasalom. Je serais là pour m'occuper de vous pendant le voyage.
—Absalom, The Genesis of Universe chapitre 1

Absalom (アブサロム, Abusaromu) est l'antagoniste principal du premier chapitre "Aller Simple du Désert à Hell City", une des deux histoires courtes du roman The Genesis of Universe.

Absalom est un des Agents de DIO qui attaque le Groupe Joestar dans le désert d'Egypte aux côtés de sa soeur Michal. C'est un manieur de Stand et son Satanic Coupler prend la forme d'un train.

Apparence

Absalom est un jeune homme à la peau brune issu des communautés autochtones du désert d'Egypte. Il a une forte mâchoire et des cheveux courts en bataille. Absalom porte une tunique qu'on ne décrit pas dans le manga, et les illustrations montrent qu'il porte également un chapeau sombre et plusieurs bijoux, notamment des bracelets, des boucles d'oreilles et un collier avec une plaque distinctive plus grande au centre, décorée d'une étoile.

Personnalité

Absalom porte en lui une grande haine et une fixation sur la civilisation, étant même prêt à se tuer pour "débarasser" le monde de la civilisation. En effet, depuis son enfance, Absalom aimait l'idée de vivre dans un monde civilisé qui, selon ce qu'il en entendait, permettait de vivre une vie confortable. Cependant son idéalisme fut brisé lorsque ses parents périrent écrasés par un train, que sa soeur Michal fut gravement blessé, et que les habitants "civilisés" du Caire le délaissèrent lui et sa soeur. Depuis, il hait la civilisation mais il resta fasciné par les trains, son aspect préféré de la civilisation. Son Stand représente cette haine et cette obsession, prenant la forme de la chose même qu'il aimait et qui a tué sa famille : un train. Lorsque DIO promet de créer un nouveau monde différent du monde civilisé, il est même capable de se suicider pour aider à réaliser ce rêve.

Absalom est assez protecteur envers sa petite soeur Michal, avec laquelle il coopère pour tuer les héros.

Pouvoirs et Compétences

Stand

Absalom's Stand Satanic Coupler can solidify and displace matter in order to form a powerful train. It can read the memories of passengers present in the train to enhance itself based on what the passenger thinks trains are like. For example, the Stand gets a ferocious appearance because Iggy thinks trains are monstrous.

Histoire

Passé

Absalom was raised in the deserts of Egypt, but was ashamed of the uncivilized life he had. In his childhood he was attracted to civilization, particularly to trains (even dreaming of driving one), and believing that "the human being can only find happiness in a civilized society". However he became disappointed even with the civilized men and began hating civilization four years ago when his parents died during a family trip in a train accident in Cairo. In that accident, his sister Michal lost her voice because of throat injuries. What shocked him the most is that the inhabitants only helped those they knew and the wealthy first, leaving him and Michal last because they were from the desert. Disillusioned with civilization, he and Michal then met DIO who healed Michal and convince Absalom to work for him. They both pledged loyalty to DIO, as he promised to create a new world different from both the desert and the civilized ones if the Joestar group is killed. His Stand, Satanic Coupler, represents his fixation and hatred with civilization.

The Genesis of Universe

The Joestar group, exhausted from the Nubian Desert's heat, suddenly encounters Absalom, who presents himself as the driver of the "Satanic Coupler" locomotive and offers refuge for them inside it. Revealing the train to be his own Stand, Absalom confines them in it, planning to push the group from hope to despair with enclosure. Absalom tries a suicide attack, planning to destroy his own Stand with everyone inside, but Jotaro Kujo, Jean Pierre Polnareff and Iggy use their wits to escape, foiling his plan. After the defeat of his sister, Absalom confronts them again in his hideout close to an oasis village, his hometown. Because his attack involved a boy from the village, he soon faces the wrath of a furious Jotaro, who discovers his Stand's weakness and hammers it with a barrage of punches thanks to a plan made by a recently rescued Joseph Joestar. His last attempt of resistence is to shrink his Stand and sneak it into Avdol's body, but lost to the also smaller Hierophant Green and Star Platinum and becomes incapacitated. Villagers later mistake the Joestar group as bad people and rescue Absalom, who decides to live with them peacefully.[1]
