- "You can't save her."
- —Nergal to John Constantine before taking Astra Logue to Hell.[src]
Nergal is a demon from hell, who was summoned by John Constantine in a botch attempt to defeat another demon possessing Astra Logue, only for Nergal to drag Astra into Hell killing and damning her for all eternity. As a result, Nergal was also able to damn John's soul so it will be dragged into Hell upon his eventual death, which John tries to prevent by atoning for his sin.
Biography
Astra Logue was possessed by a demon, causing John Constantine to conjure up Nergal from Hell intending to compel him to drag the lesser demon back to Hell and save Astra. Instead, Nergal killed Astra violently and dragged her soul to Hell where she was subsequently damned for eternal suffering. This led to John suffering immense guilt and often having nightmares of the event. Ritchie Simpson, who was present for the event, also frequently endured nightmares and blamed John for Nergal's actions.
Nergal sent Furcifer to kill the psychic Liv Aberdine but John was able to exorcise him. Before doing so John told Furficer to tell Nergal that he was coming for him and Astra.[1] Nergal will appear in Dc's Legends Of Tomorrow 4th season possibly as a flashback or even in present time.
