John Constantine was born in Liverpool, England. As most children, he was fascinated by magic. Not children's parties, but actual magic. While John would survive his experimentations, not all who he called friends or lovers would. John was indirectly responsible for the death of his parents, friends, girlfriends, and even mentors. Realizing through his studies of the dark arts and magic, that demons and hell were real, John attempts to balance the karmic scales and maybe - just maybe - save his soul from hell.
