Hey Rick, if you don't mind me burnishing my geek cred
Actually it's spelled abishai and it's a baatezu or devil from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. They were created back in the 1st edition of the game as servants of Tiamat, the goddess of evil dragons so since in D&D evil dragons come colour coded in white, black, green, blue, and red abishai come in a similar mix of flavours. So even if you're not familiar with the game painting it blue fits perfectly...
And BTW great figure!
