| “ | But within him grew the first vice - envy. He looked to the skies and wished them to be his. Even while we built this city, the first and greatest city of man, he longed for more. His reach extended to creation itself, and he was the first to push past the order of the cosmos and take something from another world. | „ |

Background[]
Adam El Asem was created near the creation of the world by the gods Mekhane and Yaldabaoth out of the Earth of the goddess Gaia as a mean to protect her. Adam would be granted the gift of fire by a flaming god, possibly Pangloss. After Adam traveled across the world and encountering many wonders and strange beings, he found Eden and built the city of Audapaupadopolis upon its hills.
At Eden, Adam met a woman named Lilith and married her, first siring Cain and Able with her, then many more sons and daughters who would occupy the city of Audapaupadopolis, a city inhabited by deities, gods and impossibly strong men and women. These children became known as the Children of the Sun, possessing muted versions of the abilities their parents had.
When Lilith left to explore the weird places of the world, Adam became lonely and created Eve from his left rib. She became his second wife, and he sired a child named Seth with her. With Seth's birth, the Garden of Eden was also created out of Eve's dream, while Adam created the Gate Guardian to protect the newly created sanctuary. However, complications from childbirth weakened Eve and eventually caused her death. This sent Adam into a depression, deeply saddened by the loss, but he still cared for and deeply loved his sons, especially Seth. Adam sent his children to the mothers of the world, the wolf, the bear, the sow, and the lion, who could raise them while he focused on managing his city and people.
However, Adam's creation of the Iron Crown as a gift for his son, Set, quickly led to the downfall of his kingdom. Unrest grew among his sons and in his kingdom, with people fearing or envying the crown's power. During this time, besides having lost his Spear, Adam was overcome by anger and greed, and was slowly corrupted into a tyrannical figure, which led to many races and entities beginning to renounce him. He turned against the gods, having fought figures such as the Red King and having destroyed Mekhane, his own creator, in pure rage. But what lead his kingdom to ruin were the Children of the Night. Created by the Fae in order to take down Asem for his perceived crimes, the Children crossed the sea and invaded Audapaupadopolis. When they were gone, so was Adam's. Asem's final fate is unknown, but it is implied he was imprisoned by the Children for a period of time.

Declared to be able to create mountains and move the sea with his voice. His eyes were declared to see beyond the limits of the heavens, being able to see other worlds.[1]), Magic, Curse Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Memory Manipulation (Adam El Asem's race is strongly linked to thaumatological, or essentially magical, properties. Homo Aeturnus had much higher magic capacities, with Asem's race being the one originating this magic in early humans. It is implied that Adam cursed Cain so that he would forget certain events of the past, resulting in his imperfect memory.[2] He cursed Cain, breaking his body and perpetually reminding him of Abel's scared eyes when Cain killed him. He also caused Cain to kill all nature near his feet.[1]), Flight, Fire Manipulation, Plasma Manipulation, Reality Warping (He pulled a star from the sky and turned it into his own iron crown[3]), Life Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Resurrection, Sealing (He was able to return Abel from beyond death, resurrecting him, but upon seeing the state of his son, Adam chose to seal him in a crypt.[1]), Life Manipulation, Creation (Declared to be able to bring things into existence at his pleasure[4] Claimed to have been the creator of Audapaupadopolis, the City of the First Father, said to have created the Garden of Eden from Eve's dream. And is likely the creator of Gate Guardian[1]), Non-Physical Interaction (Fought and destroyed Mekhane. Faced Scarlet King alone[1] Both Mekhane and Scarlet King (king in red) exist as gods, being sentient laws and cosmic forces, with their flesh being woven from the very fabric of reality of the Tree of Knowledge.[5]), Immortality (Type 1 - Declared to live forever[1])
Non-Physical Interaction, Resistance Negation, Death Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Regeneration Negation (up to High-Godly - The spear is stated to be capable of reducing gods to mortals, and can kill cosmic, divine, or supreme divine beings.[6] The spear is also stated to be capable of killing the gods. The divine beings of the SCP Foundation embody all of the supreme entities of creation, which includes beings such as the Scarlet King, Makhane, and SCP-3125[1] Upon striking O5-10, who had merged with The Serpent, in the skull, the spear not only pierced, but killed her outright, darkening the skies and affecting her entire body.[7] Both The Serpent and the Gods exist as sentient laws with their "flesh" being made from the very fabric of reality. Even though they are completely abstract, the Spear can touch them and reduce them to mortals.[5] The Serpent, because it is anchored in the "timeline", resisted all of Ircana's attempts to kill it, which implies that the Spear can negate resistance to death[8]), Power Nullification (After piercing and "killing" Lucifer's Sword, destroying it into fragments, all the flames produced by the sword were nullified and extinguished. The Spear is capable of nullify any divine power[9] The spear is stated to have existed since the times of IS and IS NOT as the "will to deny omnipotence"[7]), Statistics Amplification (The spear made Calvin capable of withstanding direct attacks from Lucifer's Sword and even withstanding direct cuts by only bleeding.[9] Lucifer's Sword is capable of with just one blow cutting through the entire Omniverse, decapitating Ion.[10] It is implied that even without wielding the spear, Calvin remained physically capable of withstanding Lucifer's Sword when it got stuck in the wall and Calvin was still able to withstand attacks before it returned to his hands[9]), Invisibility (The spear cannot be seen by entities such as the Serpent, who has stated that the spear itself "does not care for her", which reveals that the spear, in addition to possessing a consciousness, cannot be seen or used by people other than its bearers[7])
Resistance to Existence Erasure, Time Manipulation (When thrown the spear cannot be stopped even by O5-10 with the Serpent's powers, including passive temporal protection that goes back in time to prevent its death.[7][8]), Cosmic Awareness, Precognition/Clairvoyance (The spear transcends the barrier of "That Which Is" and "That Which Isn't". It precedes knowledge itself as well as the Library itself. With the Library not knowing what the spear is.[7] Even though it is the sum total of all knowledge that could exist, and most of which never would.[11]), Death Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Heat Manipulation, Immortality Negation (Type 1 & 5 - While wielding the spear, Calvin only bled with attacks that could negate all powers and decapitate Ion. With his blow being equated to directly taking a being to the Three Brothers Death.[10] Calvin was not burned by the embers or the blows of the Sword, which could incinerate the entire room[9])
Nullification of Paradox Existence, Acausality (Type 1 & 5), Conceptual Invulnerability (Type 1), Immortality (Type 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 & 9 - The spear can reduce gods to mortals, which implies that it can put an definitively end to them.[6] This includes gods like SCP-3125 who can return even if it is killed. The gods exist as sentient laws and cosmic forces of creation with their true forms being abstract; they predate the Tree of Knowledge and exist beyond the Noosphere and the concept of death.[12][11] Killed O5-10 with just a single strike to her skull. O5-10 had eaten the fruit and merged with the Serpent and with knowledge itself, having all the Serpent's capabilities, and by itself, cannot be killed because its existence is "anchored to the timeline" preventing Incarna from killing it.[7][8] The spear is capable of killing the Aaron Siegels. All members of the O5 Council, as well as Aaron, possess the Water of Life (SCP-006) within them, capable of regenerating entire tissues.[9][13] The water is powerful enough to resurrect its user[14]), The Serpent's Powers, Possibly Other Old Gods (The Serpent herself has stated that the spear comes from its own will to "deny omnipotence" however the context is ambiguous and "omnipotence" must refer to the Old Gods themselves. The best interpretation is that the spear can by itself negate all of The Serpent's powers as it was able to negate O5-10 when she was The Serpent herself, and possibly extends to all other divine powers[7])
Attack Potency: High Ascendent level (Stated to be the greatest and most magnificent of people living in Audapaupadopolis. A Kingdom formed by impossibly strong men and women, as well as gods and deities on the level of The Serpent and SCP-3125. Fought against and destroyed Mekhane. Also stated to have fought directly and single-handedly against The Scarlet King and a dark multitudes[1]). Far Higher with Spear of the Non-Believer (Should be compared to other users like Calvin Lucien who killed with a single hit O5-10 when fused and with all the abilities of The Serpent[7])
Speed: Irrelevant
Lifting Strength: Irrelevant
Durability: High Ascendent level. Far Higher with Spear of the Non-Believer (should be compared to Calvin Lucien who managed to withstand cuts that could split Omniverse in half and decapitate Ion)
Stamina: Limitless (Described as having already slept, but it is explicit that he does not need sleep and can stay awake for millennia. He spent over 100 years searching for Seth and his children.[1])
Range: Standard melee range upto High Ascendental physically. High Ascendental with Spear of the Non-Believer
- Apollyon's Crown: A crown made from a star. This crown is said to possess considerable magical power, being able to enhance the power of armies, among other things. Although the controversy of its creation and its immense power caused great conflict over the eons.
- Spear of the Non-Believer: The Spear is a mystical artifact of seemingly unknown origin. Its appearance is described as resembling a harpoon or a long metallic spear resembling silver. The spear is a weapon declared capable of nullifying the powers of deities and cosmic entities, being declared capable of killing gods and reducing supreme deities to "mortals". It not only kills but puts a definitive end to the gods and exists as a complete antithesis to their existence, and cannot be detected by entities with divine heritage. Its capabilities are unknown as well as its potential, as its origin and powers exist beyond knowledge, the spear itself implicitly, in addition to having no future, makes all who carry it absent of predictions, having their actions rendered unpredictable. The spear makes its bearers capable of withstanding divine attacks because they deny it, just as it denied the fire of Lucifer's Sword and made Calvin only bleed against cuts that could immediately kill a being whose body is literally the carcass of Yaldaboth. The spear can affect the divinity in its entirety, when reaching O5-10 when fused with The Serpent the spear not only pierced her skull but erased her body giving her a definitive end, even though she embodied all the powers of the Serpent and knowledge. The spear appears to be aware of potential dangers or entities that pose no threat to its wielder, as seen when the Serpent managed to hold the container containing the spear and gave it to Calvin and when it disappeared from Adam El Asem's pose after he went mad and was likely seen as worthless, leaving its whereabouts unknown.
Intelligence: Genius (Adam el Asem was Seth's father, and taught him much of what he knows, and is a highly experienced leader who managed to rule, for centuries, a kingdom occupied by impossibly strong humans, gods, and deities without it all falling apart. He must be superior to Seth, who knows all languages, and who is stated to have local omniscience. Asem must at least surpass human IQ[1])
Weaknesses: Cannot directly kill the Gods without his spear, as they exist as laws beyond the concept of death, although he can physically face them and even weaken them. Adam lost the spear after the period of his madness, implying that Adam was likely deemed unworthy of the spear and could not use it.
