A character associated with Etrigan and a member of the Justice League.
Description[]
Jason Blood is a slim, mature man with a gray streak through his hair, wears a tight brown suit with a tie and has a cloak tied around his neck and shoulders. Speaking with an English accent, he is stiff and old-fashioned but can still crack a joke.
He is somehow linked to Etrigan and can call up the latter from a place of fire (presumably Hell) by saying the following rhyme:
- Gone! Gone! Form of man,
Arise the demon Etrigan!
When this happens, Blood is replaced by the demon who is then free to operate in the world. We do not see the reverse action. He shows a reluctance to call Etrigan until he is convinced there is a supernatural threat. Unlike the demon, he does not participate in any of the action.
In a street (probably in Gotham City) is his old house that has large, stained-glass windows and inside has a candle-lit library with a domed glass skylight and shelves full of arcane books. Blood must have some familiarity with magic as he is seen to levitate in the air while he reads. He is known to Batman and is presumably a member of the Justice League as he is seen at their Christmas party.
