About Etrigan Zane
Etrigan Zane was born in the war-swept infernal dimension known as Naberius. In Naberius a war has raged since the dawn of time between the Dark Legions of Botis and the Fiery Horde of Norgath, the later of which Etrigan’s Father, Karnith Zane, commanded many armies in. He was one of the great Demon lord Norgath’s most trusted generals.
As a young child, Etrigan showed great promise, learning the ways of the Blade and proving to be a deadly combatant. Etrigan showed only one weakness-Compassion. As such, He had a hard time delivering a lethal blow in combat, and in situations when he did, he would mourn the fallen enemies as if they were his own kin. This was frowned upon by his father, but largely ignored, as the general was constantly occupied with the never ending war.
Karnith had a dubiously short temper, and in one of the routine meetings to discuss strategy, he insulted the great demon lord Norgath. Norgath, intolerant of such insolence threatened to strike down Etrigan’s father. Etrigan, showing compassion the other demons were not capable of displaying, defended his father.
Norgath’s cruel punishment for Etrigan’s compassion and Karnith’s outburst was that they would have to duel, father versus son, in single combat, and the one who lost would be banished into the timeless abyss. Etrigan was an endlessly better swordsman than his father, but he held back upon taking any of the opportunities for finishing blows that arose. Again, with a kind heart unheard of in all of demon-kind and knowing how much the position meant to his father, Etrigan allowed himself to be defeated, and as a result was banished from Naberius.
He was however saved at the last moment from the timeless abyss by his Uncle, Ukobach Zane, who had suffered the same fate centuries before at the hand of Norgath after he was deemed too weak to serve the Demon Lord. Ukobach was in fact a very powerful demon, whose good heart put him at odds with Norgath. After some time in the abyss, Ukobach created a pocket dimension of his own from sheer force of will. Sensing his bloodline in the Timeless Abyss, he rescued Etrigan from his fate.
Etrigan lived for some time with his uncle. Ukobach warned of a great evil from beyond which threatened to shatter reality. He told his nephew that there would be a time soon he would have to help many great heroes in thwarting that evil. So from that point Etrigan trained his body and mind, preparing the best he could to battle an unknown evil. The time came in the earth year of 1993, The Terminus Invasion. Ukobach crafted a sword for Etrigan which wielded the fiery powers of his hellish Dimension. With the last bit of his power, Ukobach teleported his nephew to Earth to battle Omega and his Omega Drones.
Shortly after The Terminus Invasion, Etrigan joined forces with the other members of the VoL, in order to keep Earth safe. Etrigan is a very compassionate soul even though it rarely shines through in conversation and will go to nearly any lengths to keep Earth from becoming a hellish place like his home dimension of Naberius.
