- — Trigon src
Trigon is an incredibly powerful demon and celestial conqueror. He is an enemy to the Teen Titans and the archenemy of his daughter Raven.
History
Trigon was originally the ruler of an unknown alien planet. Eventually, three powerful aliens known as the Divine, came to his planet in an effort to cleanse his soul of evil. The Divine summoned the great Heart of Darkness to feast on his soul. However, Trigon was able to absorb the power of the Heart of Darkness, which contained the collected evils of a hundred galaxies, becoming a supreme power that would destroy countless worlds. He killed The Divine, who he revealed were his parents before shredding them of their flesh and wearing their skin. Unable to cross the Divine's barrier, Trigon would summon women from other worlds to mate with them and impregnate them, then send them back, spreading his evil to destroy countless universes.[1]

After merging with the Heart of Darkness, Trigon absorbed the collected evil from nearly one hundred galaxies, transforming him one of the most powerful beings in the universe, (A misconception about Trigon is his demonic status. He may have demonic features, but Trigon is no Hellion. He is more of a manifestation of the concept of evil and hatred. He is still considered as a demon for obvious reasons). [1]
