He was named after gods third son who rebelled against his father. He was also known to be the most handsome of all his siblings. He was killed by his cousin after fleeing his father and trying Judaism (sp).

Parallel to dying and becoming reincarnated. My hypothis is Absalom is a biblical representation in a wonderful Novel. There

To guide Alice, like god guides most man kind on our journeys. Maybe Absalom believed in ideas that were more profound and philosophical than his father or cousins could grasp. More of the eastern ways maybe.. Buddhism, again just my theory.
