The C in Compeyson is directly comparable to the Abel of Abel Magwitch, due to the strong correlation between their relationship and the biblical story of Cain and Abel. Hence the C could be representative of Cain. Many parallels are seen between the two stories, the mark of Cain, and the mark on Compeyson's face dealt by Magwitch's wife (Molly). Furthermore Magwitch becoming a sheep farmer in New South Wales, and Abel being a shepherd. However Compeyson's turning on Magwitch in court to get him a longer prison sentence, could be seen as a metaphor for Cain's murder of Abel.
