Hellspawn

Description

The Hellspawn are controlled by Malebolgia , the ruler of the eighth realm of hell , and are mainly used as an officer corps for hell’s army. They were created by Malebolgia and Mammon. Hellspawn are infused with dark energy matter, called Necroplasm , when they are created. This power is infinite while in Hell and finite when outside.  ^[1]

Most Hellspawn were once human, and made a bargain with Malebolgia to return to Earth for love or revenge; He would agree to return to Earth if they promised to become an officer in Satan’s Hellspawn army. This deal usually backfires on the Hellspawn, and then Malebolgia would return to Earth several years (or decades) into the future. The Hellspawn is a symbiotic armor that protects the Host. Their time on Earth is also limited. Each time a Hellspawn uses his powers, it is best to close a second death, returning him to hell.  ^[1]

The nature of Hellspawn in hell’s army is threefold. Either the Spawn will be a successful murderer and will use his energy to kill innocent and evil, providing you with more souls, or he will try to do good by killing bad people. However, this will only supply hell with the souls of the worst kind of murderers (Kincaid, Wynn, etc.). Alternatively, they will refuse to kill and be destroyed by heaven, in which case Hellspawn.

Eventually it is Revealed That at least the LAST KNOWN Hellspawn arent establishment of Malebolgia, goal Mammon try trying to enact a  breeding program  entre The Most successful bloodlines représentée par His Hellspawn. Al Simmons and Wanda, both related to the famous Hellspawn of modern times, are the apex of such a process.

Notable Hellspawn

• Al Simmons  As a human, he worked as a murderer, until he had a change of heart. He was murdered by his partner, Chapel, and went straight to Hell. He made a deal with Malebolgia, who, unknown to Simmons, feels him five years into the future. Simmons discovers that his face still bears the wounds of his murder, which was able to give him something Simmons could not – a child. Malevolgia sends another Demon, Violator , to force Simmons, now called Spawn, to use up his power that will ultimately return him to Hell.  ^[1]
• Sir John Of York  Sir John was a knight from the mid-15th century, who fought during a civil war in the fictional country of Bahavia. He was released from the service of Louis II of Bahavia after he and three others mistakenly killed the Archbishop of Bahavia, Sir Thomas Of Bahavia (they mistook some angry words by the King as an order). He was killed on a battlefield in Freedoniaby the King’s bodyguards as he approached King Louis for forgiveness. For his past deeds of killing, John was sent to hell, where he, like others, made a deal with Satan. He was returned to Earth, several years in the future and clad in medieval looking symbiotic armor. Upon realizing what had happened, John traveled throughout Bahavia, doing good deeds in the hope he would be redeemed. He teamed up with Witchblade , taking down an evil king. He was eventually slain by the demon hunter Angela . He is also known for fighting The Clown .  ^[1]
• Cogliostro  To form Hellspawn, he found a way to remove his armor, and thus ended the pact between him and his master. The reason Cogliostro is still alive that is stuck between Heaven and Hell. Heaven does not want him because he was a servant of Hell. Hell does not want him because he betrayed them. At first, it seems that Cogliostro spends his time training any young Hellspawn who will listen to him, in the hope that they will turn the dark path. Later on, it is revealed that Cogliostro is actually  Cain  , the biblical figure who killed his own brother out of envy. By that deed, he became the first man to go to hell, and the first to become a Hellspawn. He helps young Hellspawn to fight their demon masters, in the hope that one day he can claim the Throne of Hell.  ^[1]
• Nyx  is a young Wiccan who “borrows” Spawn’s symbiote to rescue a friend from Hell. She first helps Spawn recover her symbiote after being betrayed by Cogliostro, and features prominently in recent comics Spawn’s sidekick and is hinted to be his lover. In issue 182, she is captured by Al Simmons’ detached symbiote and controlled by it. She is, however, not considered a true Hellspawn due to having a human body as opposed to a necroplasmic body.  ^[2]
• Mandarin  A Hellspawn that appeared in China during the final years of the Song dynasty . His human name is Chenglei, and he suffered from elephantiasis, which left him heavily disfigured. When his village of Mhisi could not pay tribute, Chenglei was given to the Governor instead. There he was used as an entertainment, tortured and humiliated. Though Chenglei’s condition may have limited physical harm to his body, it has been killed when it seems to be a part of the condition. Upon Chenglei’s death bed, Mammon, acting as an emissary from Malebogia, came to the fulfillment of his desires. Chenglei later on to Hellspawn, where he died in the palace of the Governor of the palace, who had seen his kindness in his life. Chenglei was last seen by the storyteller riding alone, away from the slaughter. There were men, however, who swear that they saw the Hellspawn leading an army, with a beautiful concubine by his side, into Hell. There, he is one of the circles of Hell with his concubine-Queen by his side. ^{[3]  [4]}
• Morana  Morana is the child of Wanda Blake and Al Simmons and is the final product of Mammon’s manipulation, breeding into one offspring the best bloodlines for Hellspawn. Mammon considers her to be one who will sit by her side and rule the world.  ^[2]  When Al Simmons caused the miscarriage of their child, Wanda was brought by Al Simmons to the hospital. There under the guise of a doctor, Mammon stole the child. She was brought under the care of Vrykolakas , while Mammon raised her. She has appeared alongside Mammon as the cloaked figure several times during Armageddon and only upon issue.
