Nergal is the demon leader of the Damnation Army, who was summoned by John Constantine in Newcastle in an attempt to rid the young Astra Logue of the demon Norfulthing. However, John couldn't control Nergal and he dragged the young Astra to Hell with him, damning her for all eternity, which led Constantine suffering immense guilt.

Nergal is also the name of the Mesopotamian God of Death, one of the Anunnaki deities worshiped through all periods of Mesopotamian history. His counterpart in the Akkad gods represents War.

Nergal was adapted by Jamie Delano and John Ridgway, first appearing in Hellblazer #6 (1988).
