Etrigan is a demon and an anti-hero from DC Comics. He was bound by the wizard Merlin to the human known as Jason Blood, thus making Blood immortal. Throughout the centuries, Blood has called upon Etrigan in order to do battle against the forces of darkness that threaten humanity. He always talks in rhyme.
DC Animated Movie Universe[]
Etrigan appears in Justice League Dark and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, voiced in both by Ray Chase. He is initially bound to Jason Blood, but following a battle with the dark sorcerer Destiny, the two are seperated and Blood dies. From then on, Etrigan is free to pursue his own path.
In Apokolips War, two years after Darkseid's successful invasion of Earth, Etrigan falls into a deep depression. He stops talking in rhyme and joins John Constantine as the pair travel around the ruins of London drinking whatever alcohol they find. When Raven and a de-powered Superman appeared and recruited Constantine to their mission, Etrigan tagged along, not having anything else to do. After accompanying the others with locating Damian Wayne, Etrigan grows a liking towards him after witnessing his cold attitude towards Superman and Constantine.
Etrigan remains depressed and bored during the group's brief battles with the League of Assassins and the LexCorp soldiers during finding Damian Wayne and the boom tube from LexCorp. Later accompanying the main forces during their invasion of Apokolips, Etrigan grows happy and shows interest in something for the first time in a while as he does battle with Wonder Woman, transformed into a brainwashed cybernetic soldier by Darkseid. However, Wonder Woman eventually bests Etrigan in battle, killing him. As he falls into the depths of fire below, Etrigan exclaims that he has no regrets, even saying one last rhyme.
