Item Biography
"The Wild Hunt" Part 7 of 8
*Hellboy spends a sleepless night in the castle of Morgan Le Fay while Alice convalesces. He is haunted by his recent berserker frenzy on the Giants and by the recent revelations that he is the descendant of Mordred and of Arthur Pendragon, rightful heir to the throne of England. And worse, that it ties into the prophesy of his one day wearing the crown of Hell, if he would only draw Excalibur from its stone and lead the army of the dead. He is visited by the spirit of Vasilisa, who urges caution, but others pay Hellboy a visit in the night. Astaroth comes to urge Hellboy to embrace his fate, showing Hellboy a fully realized version of himself. Hellboy must fight this doppelganger, but the ensuing battle incinerates Le Fay's castle, and all within it. *Source: Warlock
**In a terrifying fortress decorated with dead soldiers, Hellboy reels from recent revelations about his bloodline and his connection to British history, and to the Queen of Blood herself. But there’s little time for him to consider his destiny when Astaroth arrives, leading to a battle that will tear down the castle walls around the unconscious Alice. **Source: darkhorse.com
