 * HistoryText            =Jason Blood is the world leading expert on the occult and demonology. He has walked the Earth since the 6th Century, after the wizard Merlin bound the increasingly uncontrollable threat of Etrigan The Demon to his mortal soul.

Origins
His origins have been ambiguous - even to himself - after centuries of Etrigan's tampering with his mind. In some accounts he was a knight in King Arthur's court in the 6th Century.In another he was a high druid who practiced human sacrifice. It wasn't until Blood forced Merlin to unlock his real memories long forgotten that he learned the horrific truth. Jason was a simple peasant with a wife and two children until the fateful night he was chosen by Merlin to bind Etrigan for eternity. Jason woke the next day covered in the blood of his murdered family. Discovered by his brother-in-law, an angry mob soon swarmed him. The imminent threat of death awakened the demon inside for the first time, and the ensuing massacre earned him the name Jason-of-the-Blood.

Unlocking the Beast
Jason Blood was called to the crypt of Merlin and discovered a poem that could change him into Etrigan. Unfortunately, he was followed by the long-lived Morgaine who lusted for Merlin's secrets. That led to one of Etrigan's major battles and to the solidification of Morgaine as a major enemy.

The New World
In the 20th Century he moves to the United States and makes Gotham City his home. There he meets Glenda Mark a friend and future lover.

When Glenda became pregnant Jason worried about her future. When Kathryn Mark is born, Jason decided to destroy the demon and hired hitman Tommy Monaghan for the job. After a battle against both Merlin and Etrigan, the baby is rescued and the heart is removed from Etrigan, giving Jason some control of the demon. After the battle Jason leaves Glenda and Kathryn and before he leaves he tells her, "Take care of our daughter, Glenda. I think it would be best if she never knew about her father." Jason did not pay Monaghan the two million dollars he was promised.

Blackest Night
Jason Blood's body is possessed by Deadman, who invokes the spell to transform him into the demon, using his flames to hold back the Black Lanterns.
