| Origin | |
| The
last defender of Camelot against supernatural forces lead by the sorceress
Morgaine
Le Fey, the wizard Merlin unleashed a demon from hell.
Although Etrigan wreaked havoc against the enemy, Camelot fell.
Knowing he could not control the demon, Merlin cast a spell transforming
Etrigan into a human. Etrigan's human form lived through the centuries, apparently unaware of his demonic nature and would eventually settle in Gotham City under the name of Jason Blood. Etrigan resurfaced to battle Morgaine Le Fey and other mystical menaces. Blood at first feared and despised his demonic self, but in time accepted his nature and has attempted to bring about a partial integration of his two personalities. At times Etrigan serves as a hero and other times as a villain, but ultimately his goals appear to be the same as Jason Blood's, the destruction or domination of their alter-ego without destroying themselves. |
