A little demon-child was called forth one night from a portal opened by Grigori Rasputin, under the auspices of the Nazi’s Project Ragnarok. Named Hellboy and raised by Professor Bruttenholm of the U.S. Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, he has a great destiny to fulfill. It is foretold that, seated atop his dragon, he shall be the right hand of the Ogdru Jahad during the final war in which Hellboy and the army of Hell will destroy the world. For now, he works (on and off) for the B.P.R.D. using his unique skills to intervene when other supernatural beings get out of hand.
