HistoryEdit

Jason Blood is the world leading expert on the occult and demonology. He started life as Jason Blood of Norwich was a nobleman and Knight of King Arthurs court in the 6th Century. The demon Etrigan was originally summoned by the wizard Merlin as part of a last-ditch defense of Camelot against the evil witch, Morgaine le Fey. When it became clear that the kingdom would fall regardless, Merlin sent the demon away and bonded him into a human named Jason Blood to wait until he was summoned.

Jason Blood was called to the crypt of Merlin and discovered a poem that could change him into Etrigan. Unfortunately, he was followed by the long-lived Morgaine who lusted for Merlin's secrets. That led to one of Etrigan's major battles and to the solidification of Morgaine as a major enemy.

By being bonded to the Demon, Jason Blood was now immortal and lived throughout history fighting the forces of darkness. In the 20th Century he moves to the United States and makes Gotham City his home. There he meets Glenda Mark a friend and future lover.

When Glenda became pregnant Jason worried about her future. When Kathryn Mark is born, Jason decided to destroy the demon and hired hitman Tommy Monaghan for the job. After a battle against both Merlin and Etrigan, the baby is rescued and the heart is removed from Etrigan, giving Jason some control of the demon. After the battle Jason leaves Glenda and Kathryn and before he leaves he tells her, "Take care of our daughter, Glenda. I think it would be best if she never knew about her father." Jason did not pay Monaghan the two million dollars he was promised.^[1]

Blackest Night

Jason Blood's body is possessed by Deadman, who invokes the spell to transform him into the demon, using his flames to hold back the Black Lanterns.
