Demon
Demon is a comic book character that first appeared in The Demon #1
The Demon is a being created by Merlin of the middle ages who merged together Jason Blood the druid and Etrigan, one of the greatest demons of Hell. Together they now work as one of the oddest heroes.
History
The origins of The Demon, like those of many a character, are no longer the accepted beginnings in the comic book world and have long since been retconned, thus making his current story that of two beings that would become one...Etrigan and Jason Blood. The Demon's creator, Merlin, was hard at work defending Camelot from the evils of Morgaine le Fey but when Jason Blood came to Morgaine's aid he found not reward from her, but punishment from Merlin. For his crimes he was involuntarily bonded with Etrigan, one of the most bloodthirsty and powerful demons of Hell, forced to contain its evil within himself, forever fighting it. It was hundreds of years later, in Merlin's tomb that Jason learned "the rhyme" that transformed him and it was there that the Demon gained its first enemy, Morgaine le Fey.
Green Arrow's Resurrection
After Green Arrow's resurrection he and batman sought out Jason Blood (the alter ego of the demon) for his occult knowledge, to try to find out how Oliver was resurrected. They soon learned that Oliver was a hollow (a soulless husk of a human.) He was made into a hollow by the Spectre (Hal Jordan) out of pure guilt. Blood then tried to kill Oliver, due to the risk of being possessed due to his being a hollow. So he called upon the Demon's powers and they fought. The Demon was defeated by being shot in the mouth with a fire extinguishing arrow shot by Green Lantern.Reign in Hell
Etrigan participated in the war for control of Hell, working for Neron. He fought Blue Devil, and stole his humanity. He was depowered by Satanus' spell. Because he was fully demonic at the time, Blue Devil also became human. Etrigan, now in possession of his demonic side, restored it to Blue Devil. Etrigan later appeared fully powered in the Solomon Grundy miniseries.
