Abaddon, from a Hebrew word meaning Destroyer, was king of the locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet as described in the Book of Revelation at the end of the Christian Bible. Apollyon is his Greek name, and both names have been used often in works of popular culture, where he is frequently conflated with Satan.

Abaddon in "Ils ne passeront pas"

At the Battle of Verdun, Abaddon intervened. The demon lord took several forms, including those of a man in a German uniform, but with an armband featuring a strange red symbol, and short mustached man in an unfamiliar uniform, before he was machine-gunned to death by both French and German troops, each believing Abaddon to belong to the other side.
