Abyssals were made from the 150 Solar shards the Deathlords managed to keep. They're not so much the Chosen of Death as the Chosen of Murder. The Neverborn designed them to destroy the world no matter what - with failsafes built in just in case if they have a change of heart and start trying to save it. Don't wanna kill people? Yes you do, . You have charms like Killing Words Technique, which lets you give people multiple organ failure if they don't do as you say. Going to be lame and use your powers to help people? Then you get hit with something called Resonance, which at best kills all the grass where you walk and at worst straight-up incinerates your wife and kids, unless said wife is a Lunar. Being nice to your Lunar and HER loved ones doesn't count, which is the only lifeline you get in the miserable hell your life has become.

You can redeem yourself, of course, which will, if successful, mean turning yourself back into a Solar. Good Abyssals aren't, even if they want to be. This has advantages (like being able to train soldiers without turning them into sociopaths) and disadvantages (like forgetting how to cut someone's soul out with a butter knife).
