Nergal[]
Nergal is a powerful demon from Hell. Back in the late 1970s, a terror elemental known as the Norfulthing appeared in Newcastle, England to protect a young girl named Astra Logue, who had become the victim of tantric sex rituals. The Norfulthing slaughtered everyone in the area. A group of amateur occultists, led by John Constantine attempted to banish the Norfulthing. To accomplish this, John summoned Nergal in the hopes that the more powerful entity would destroy the terror elemental. Nergal accomplished this, but in so doing, decided to avail himself of Astra as well. He took possession of Astra, and John and friends were now tasked with exorcising him from the girl's body. This attempt failed horribly, and Nergal took Astra's soul to Hell. This botched exorcism became one of the defining moments in John Constantine's career. (Hellblazer 11)
Nina Price[]
Noble Kale[]
During the "Rise of the Midnight Sons" event, the Spirit of Vengeance was separated from Danny Ketch, whose soul had been lost. The Ghost Rider had a vision wherein he found Ketch's soul, but also learned about the existence of the Darkhold Redeemers. [1]
The Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze fought up against Steel Vengeance, who was the younger sister of an old foe of Blaze's known as Steel Wind. The Ghost Rider attempted to use his Penance Stare upon her, but it had not affect on her because the cybernetic villain had previously sold her soul for the change at vengeance against Blaze. [2]
Norfulthing[]
The Norfulthing is a terror elemental that manifests itself into a physical form based upon the subconscious creativity of another. The Norfulthing is not a traditional demon in that it is not bound by common restrictions associated with invocation or summoning. It has once been described as partly a giant dog and partly a monkey "with a purple bum, like at the zoo". The Norfulthing wears its internal organs on the outside of its skin, including its heart, muscles, veins and genitalia. In 1978, amateur occultist and nightclub owner Alex Logue held a series of tantric sex rituals in the cellar of his establishment, the Casanova Club. He forced his young daughter Astra to partake in these rituals, and the experience traumatized her so greatly, that she inadvertently conjured up the terror elemental to protect her. The Norfulthing slaughtered everyone in room, sparing only Astra. A short time later, John Constantine and a group of his friends (informally known as the Newcastle Crew), discovered the carnage in the bottom of Logue's basement. In an effort to destroy the Norfulthing, John attempted to summon a more powerful demon to combat it. He mis-spoke the spell, and summoned the demon Nergal, who took possession of Astra Logue and used her as the instrument by which to destroy the Norfulthing. (Hellblazer 11)
