Biography
Langdon Everett Caul
In 1978, the comatose, amphibious man was found inside a water-filled capsule within a long-lost chamber beneath the St. Trinian's Hospital in a child's bedroom. Discovered by a group of plumbers, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense quickly intercepted the creature, and nicknamed it Abraham Sapien in reference to the scrap of paper written on his tube: April 14th 1865 - the date of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Unresponsive for weeks, it was not until B.P.R.D. scientists experimented with shocking him did he awake. However, it appears that Abe was at least somewhat aware of what was going on, as he has memories of overhearing one of the scientists debating whether or not to give up trying to revive him and just skip to dissection. Abe's experience in the Bureau was 'terrifying', and he still sometimes has nightmares of the event. Unsure what the creature in the tube was, he was held under scrutiny by the Bureau as scientists studied him. However, Hellboy felt sympathy for him, told the doctors to shut down the experiments, because "they never stop until someone says 'enough'". Abe came out of his tank healthy, if disoriented, and quickly responded to human contact. Despite no memory of a previous life, he was soon able to speak fluent English, apparently remembering the language rather than learning it.
