History:
Originally built by a mysterious Senator Sandefield as a home for himself and his wife, the House of Secrets has a most bizarre history. Constructing the building entirely from materials made in Kentuckt, Sandefield swore that no one but a purebred Kentuckian would ever live there.

When his wife went insane in one of the house's upper rooms, Sandefield sold the building, but the next four owners, none of whom were of pure Kentucky stock, fled the house within three months' time.

When the house's next owner attempted to have the house moved across the state line, the house apparently rebelled, tearing itself free of the trailer and forcing its new owner over a cliff, before finally coming to rest beside a cemetery less than 200 yards from the state line.

Coincidentally, the only other building in the area is the House of Mystery, standing just across the cemetery.

Little is known of Abel's life before he was hired as caretaker for the so-called House of Secrets, save that he was a solitary, lonesome man, possessed of only one friend: an invisible, imaginary companion called Goldie. Apparently, Abel was recommended for the job by his brother Cain, who is caretaker of the mysterious house across the way.

Powers:
A devout coward, Abel possesses no powers save for a vivid imagination and a gift for telling stories that could chill the spine of a corpse. A sub-par hand-to-hand combatant, Abel will, when threatened with physical violence, immediately surrender.
