Other Information:
In December 1944 the Nazis sought paranormal assistance to win the war. They
managed to summon up what appeared to be a devil child, or as one of the first to
see him, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, so aptly put it - a "hellboy."
American forces in charge of the operation that discovered Hellboy took him back to
America. Professor Bruttenholm and a group of other paranormal experts founded the
Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. They were given custody of Hellboy to
study and raise, and in time he joined them as an agent of the BPRD.
There is still almost nothing known about Hellboy's origins, or the origin or
composition of his stony right hand. In the employ of the BPRD he has helped
discourage fairy mischief, hunted vampires and werewolves, fought with at least 4
multi-tentacled monstrosities, and foiled the plots of long dead sorcerors.
Aside from Prof. Bruttenholm, who is the closest thing he has known to a father, his
closest friends are Abe Sapien, a fish-man of unknown origin, Liz Sherman, a pyrokinetic,
and Anastasia Bransfield, an archeologist and former-lover.
Hellboy always wears a leather duster with a BPRD patch on the right shoulder. He
regularly files down his horns to partly counteract his devilish appearance.
