Abaddon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abaddon
From the Hebrew root meaning 'to destroy,' Abaddon was known as a 'place of destruction' synonymous with Sheol in Prov 15:11; 27:20 and Job 26:6. It is the second of the seven names of the underworld in the Babylonian Talmud.
In Job 28:22, Abaddon is personified as a being that can speak and hear.
Abaddon and Death say,
'With our ears we have heard a report of it.'
In Revelation, Abaddon is the King of the abyss who commands an army of locusts. He will rise up after the fifth angel has blown his trumphet.
They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. - Rev 9:11
The reference to the abyss in this case is the temporary place of punishment for the fallen angels in contrast to the lake of fire, which will be permanent.
Most authors thought of Abaddon as a place rather than an entity. For instance, in The Biblical Antiquities of Philo
When the years of the world (or age) are fulfilled, God will quicken the dead, and raise up from the earth them that sleep: Sheol will restore its debt, and Abaddon its deposit, and every man will be rewarded according to his works. - III. 10.
In Mather's Key of Solomon, Abaddon is the name of God that Moses invokes to bring destructive rains.
and by the Name ABADDON which Moses invoked and sprinkled the dust towards heaven, and immediately there fell so great rain upon the men, cattle, and flocks, that they all died.

Historical Info
The name Adramelech (also Adrammalech) appears in the Old Testament only twice. The first time, he is mentioned as a son of the Assyrian King Sennacharib along with Sharezer, who murdered their father while he was worshiping in the temple of his idol, Nisrach (2 Kings 19:36-38 cf. Isaiah 37:37-39).
The second time Adramelech is mentioned is in the context of a Samarian sun god who was worshipped by the Sepharvites.
'the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.' - 2 Kings 17:31
Adramelech in Demonology
According to Gustav Davidson, Adramelech, which means, "king of fire" is one of two throne angels along with Asmadai. In demonology he is 8th of the 10 archdemons and a great minister and chancelor of the Order of the Fly, founded by Beelzebub. He is said to appear in the form of a mule or peathingy.
Dictionnaire Infernal - Collin de Plancy (1863) (paraphrased)
Adramelech was a high chancellor of hell and president of the high council of devils. He can sometimes appear with a mule or a peathingy. It is said that the people of the city of Sepharvaim, the city of the Assyrians, sacrificed children to him.
