== History ==
When David announces his plan to the Reckoners, Abraham is in almost complete agreement with David, particularly because it is the same thing he had fought for before with Prof: fighting more powerful Epics.{{book ref|Steelheart|12}}{{book ref|Steelheart|13}} When Prof finally agreed with the plan, he sent Abraham to Diamond's place, along with Megan and David.{{book ref|Steelheart|14}} Along the way, they encountered a group of outcasts underground, who wanted their guns, particularly Abraham's gun. Abraham challenged their leader to a duel, who instantly shot Abraham. However, Abraham was protected by Prof's healing powers (although Abraham believed it was the [[harmsway]]), and shot the man in the thigh. The outcasts thought that Abraham was an Epic, and so let him pass.{{book ref|Steelheart|15}}
 
When they reached Diamond's shop, Abraham gave a data chip to a young girl in a yellow dress, who let them in.{{book ref|Steelheart|15}} In Diamond's shop, Abraham revealed to David that Steelheart was secretly afraid of the smart people, because those were the ones who would figure out his weakness. Abraham bought a gauss gun developed off of [[Rick O'Shea]], a pack of erasers that will detonate when a certain pen is clicked, and motorcycles with gravatonics (although he bought the motorcycles secretly).{{book ref|Steelheart|16}}{{book ref|Steelheart|28}} He pays for these using cells of four Epics (including [[Absence]], and a data chip that contained explosions.{{book ref|Steelheart|16}} When Nightwielder showed up to Diamond's shop, two hours early,{{book ref|Steelheart|17}} David was forced to sell Abraham's gun to him, in an attempt to distract Nightwielder, while Abraham escaped using the tensors.{{book ref|Steelheart|18}} Abraham revealed that he had a history with Nightwielder, and that he would recognize Abraham.{{book ref|Steelheart|17}}
 
Because David sold Abraham's gun, Abraham was forced to find a new one.{{book ref|Steelheart|20}} While he new gun was a similar model, it didn't have as many bells and whistles as his previous one.{{book ref|Steelheart|25}}
 
==== Newcago's Power Point ====
The Reckoners attacked Newcago's power plant, in a dual attempt to steal fuel for the gauss gun and to destroy the power plant in Newcago, further planting the idea of a rival Epic. The day before the attack, Abraham scouted the area, using the tensors to dig an underground towertunnel. During the attack, Abraham and Prof were the first team. They broke in where all the huge equipment was stored, and worked their way upwards, charging explosives.
 
During the next few days, Abraham and Tia worked to find the [[First Union Bank (Newcago)|First Union Bank]], which [[Faultline]] had sent far under the surface. Abraham used his tensors to get to the bank.{{book ref|Steelheart|25}}
 
==== The Plan ====
After Conflux shut off allmost of the power in Newcago, the Reckoners discussed how they would attack Steelheart. When David dedicated the following fight with Steelheart to Megan, Abraham noted that it was ironic, because Megan was the one who didn't want to bring down Steelheart. He claimed that the truth was not a downer, only the lies that they pretend to accept. Abraham believed that the specific type of gun was the thing that hurt Steelheart. However, Prof believed that only the Faithful could harm Steelheart, and claimed that Abraham might be able to kill Steelheart.{{book ref|Steelheart|33}}
 
Abraham suggested that they set explosives beneath [[Soldier Field]], which the rest of the team agreed with. He then took care of the UV headlights, so they might be able to turn Nightwielder into corporeal form. Abraham was also in charge of blowing the secondary charges on the far wall, in case they needed a distraction.{{book ref|Steelheart|34}}
