History
Raven is the daughter and herald of Trigon, used as his sleeper agent in the Teen Titans.
Origin
The demon Trigon has conquered many worlds and fathered many sons. Raven is his first and only daughter. Afraid of what Trigon had in store for her, Raven's mother, Arella, took her daughter and fled to the dimension of Azarath, out of Trigon's reach. Over time, the monks of that realm trained Raven to control her powers and overcome her father's influence. When Trigon finally found her again, Raven fled from Azarath to Earth in order to protect her mother and teachers.
