Officially dead for a mere two minutes, paramedics managed to revive John. Despite being dead for two minutes, John later recalls that it felt like an entire lifetime had passed before being revived, as if time in Hell is different.
Already armed with his visions and having witnessed Hell and demonology alike, John decided to become an exorcist. After a case involving a demon trying to break out of Hell and unto Earth , Constantine seeks an audience with the androgynous half-breed angel, Gabriel. He asks Gabriel for a reprieve from death in order to continue fighting demons, but Gabriel declines. He tells John that his exorcisms will not gain him a reprieve from damnation because the motives behind his exorcisms are selfish.
Once he has left, John repels an attack by a full-fledged demon right out in public. This encounter prompts him to meet with former witch doctor Papa Midnite. During said meeting, Constantine also encounters half-breed demon Balthazar , who tells him that the entirety of Hell is waiting for him to die, and he is the one soul Lucifer would come to Earth personally to collect.
John begins investigating the situation with his associates; Beeman, Hennessy, and apprentice Chas Kramer. Detective Angela Dodson also shows up at John's apartment, asking for his help with her investigation into her twin sister Isabel's death. She explains that Isabel leapt to her death from the top of a mental hospital, and despite camera footage of the event, Angela is convinced that Isabel would never intentionally commit suicide.
At first, John mocks and belittles her; denying her request for help. But after demons attack Angela on the street outside, John agrees to look into her sister's death. He informs Angela that God and Lucifer are engaged in a proxy war; a standing wager for the souls of all mankind.
Neither true angels nor demons can manifest on Earth, but they are allowed to possess and influence humans. Hennessy and Beeman's findings lead Constantine to the conclusion that Mammon , Lucifer's son, is planning to invade Earth with an army of demons and make it his personal kingdom. To do so, Mammon requires a powerful psychic, and divine assistance. Balthazar begins killing John's associates; Hennessy is drowned in liquor after Balthazar projects an illusion on him, and Beeman is filled alive with bees.
Angela reveals that she and her sister possessed the same gift as Constantine. Angela adamantly refused her visions and they went dormant, but Isabel attempted to inform everyone about them, and was institutionalized for it. John holds Angela under the water of a bathtub to initiate a near-death experience on her, reawakening Angela's psychic ability. Angela and John then leave to find Balthazar.
Arriving at a building, John tells Angela to stay in the car, giving her a necklace for warding. John then hunts down and interrogates Balthazar, who reveals that Mammon has obtained the Spear of Destiny, which has the blood of Jesus Christ stained on it. The psychic Mammon requires is Angela.
Refusing to stay in the car, Angela meets with Constantine after the interrogation. Furious, John drives to Papa Midnite's club with Chas. At some point in John's life, he met and became friends with both Chas Chandler [10] and Esrin Fortuna , the latter of whom he eventually came to owe a substantial sum of money to.
In adulthood, John's friendship with Natalie developed into a romance. However, they broke up when he chose practicing magic over their relationship.
John and Chas spent their time in one of the bars getting drunk in the process. When John decided to go out with a girl he met, he asked his friend to pay the bill for him again. At the same time, John cast a protective spell on Chas, fearing that he might do something to himself by returning to his family.
Before leaving, Chas wanted to listen to a song by a certain band that ended tragically. The pyrotechnic effects set off a fire that occupied an entire building.
The man began to help people evacuate, but did not manage to save all of them and himself. However, Chas woke up in the hospital with his family. After leaving the facility, he met with John, trying to understand the whole incident. He showed him the newspaper of the 47 people who died in the fire, declaring himself a victim - the 48th.
It turned out that the spell John cast on Chas caused his body to swallow up all the dead souls. It was because of this that Chas's relationship with his family deteriorated and his wife divorced him. Chas followed John's advice and, unable to live normally with the souls of others, decided to fight evil alongside his friend in order to repay the gift and use it in a good way.
John once had a brutal encounter with Fennel and a sorcerer named Felix Faust. He survived, but left Faust with a grudge against him. John grew to fear Darhk so much he considered leaving whatever city the latter sought to destroy as a preferable option to facing him. Apparently, Beebo told him things that "will make your toes curl".
In , Seeking an artifact called the Orb of Horus , an ancient spell book, John traveled to Lian Yu to retrieve it, but was caught by Baron Reiter 's men and brutally interrogated. Conklin interrupted the interrogation to tell Reiter of an A. Reiter presented Oliver with a map John possessed and after confirming his knowledge of their locations, John performed a spell to free himself from his handcuffs and held Oliver at gunpoint and used him as leverage to escape Reiter's compound.
He had Oliver forcibly take him to the area he sought and performed a spell to uncover the hidden passageway, much to Oliver's shock. Once inside, they explored the cave where John explained that there are areas of the world as old as it including Lian Yu, possessing things corrupt men aren't supposed to have such as Reiter.
John eventually found what he sought and retrieved it but set off a trap which Oliver saves him from being killed by, insisting he's not one of Reiter's men. After exiting the cave John thanked Oliver for saving his life and broke off the crystal from the rod to give to Reiter, as the rod itself is what contains the magic.
John also warned Oliver about Reiter, insisting his narcotics aren't his only interest for being on the island. As insurance, John also used the rod to transfer a spell on his arm onto Oliver's torso, insisted he'd know what to do when the time came and on Oliver's request, John punched him out cold as part of his "escape" and left on his boat, but the two would keep in contact. In , Constantine crossed over to Earth and made a deal with Lucifer Morningstar involving his friend Maze. Afterwards, Lucifer owed Constantine a favor.
While at Newcastle, John accidentally damned Astra's soul to Hell trying to extort the demon Nergal into fighting another demon for him. In , Natalie , was killed by a drunk driver. While Natalie was successfully resurrected, the ritual was botched and a demon possessed Natalie's daughter, Astra. This action also damned John's soul for Hell upon his eventual death. This action severally traumatized John and he placed himself in Ravenscar Psychiatric Facility for the Mentally Deranged out of guilt.
The rest of the crew also came to resent John, some more than others. Because of his actions and what happened to Astra, the group was haunted for the rest of their lives. A few months after his voluntary internment, John discovered a possessed woman writing something on a wall. After exorcizing the woman, John saw that she wrote the words "Liv Die". Remembering his promise to his friend, Jasper Winters , John left the hospital and went to the United States.
There he met Liv Aberdine , the daughter of his friend who like her father could see the true nature of supernatural things when in contact with an amulet. They soon learned that the demon Furcifer pursued and wanted to kill her. John decided to ask the help of Ritchie to defeat the demon. The three then prepared a trap for the demon. As John began to recite an incantation to send the demon back to hell, Astra appeared.
Furcifer then made an offer to John: if John freed him then Furcifer would release Astra's soul from Hell. As John was about to free Furcifer, Liv discovered that it was not Astra, but a demon disguised as her. Learning this, John performed an exorcism and sent the demons back to Hell. Liv then left John's company to go and live with a friend, but not before performing a scrying ritual on the map of the United States, leaving lots of blood on the sources of the strengthened dark magic.
Meanwhile, John made the decision to help Manny to discover the nature of the thing that was causing the supernatural world to go wild. He and Chas Chandler decided to tackle on the country's supernatural problems, hoping to save John's soul along the way. Traveling to the town of Heddwich without his partner Chas had to stay out of the State of Pennsylvania due to an incident involving a Succubus and a trainwreck , John ended up meeting Zed Martin , who's been seeing Constantine in her dreams, along with visions of demons.
Although he didn't trust Zed at first, her specific skills and a talent for clairvoyance magic made her an asset to John. Ditching Zed at the hotel, Constantine traveled to the wake ceremony in remembrance of late Lannis Cadogan with a Hearty Cuisine Chicken Dinner as a gift, using the situation to snoop around the house and look for clues. John encountered Lannis Cadogan's wife , who told him her sob story over marrying a deadbeat husband who tried to woo her as a "captain of industry", and then tried to seduce John.
When he didn't respond to her advances, the widow shouted at him and made a scene in front of the guests, publicly showing Constantine out of her house. Having to fight off the mining company's goons, John left the premises, but not before letting Thad Bowman , the boss of NorPenn Mining Company know that he uncovered the secret behind the unnatural happenings at the mine.
At first, John suspected the local disenfranchised preacher to be the one who enchanted the Coblynau to do dark deeds, but later investigation along with Zed convinced him that the man was innocent. Venturing into the mines while following Thad Bowman and his son, John and Zed encountered the Coblynau trying to attack the two men, but John was able to break the dark spell and remind the spirit of its good nature, though not before it killed the father.
Finally figuring it out, John came back to Lannis Cadogan's widow, revealing his suspicions about her use of Gypsy black magic. She tried to sic Coblynau on Constantine but forgot the fact that Coblynau is spirits of dead miners, which allowed John to summon her own husband as one, to take its revenge on the one who killed him.
The Coblynau-turned Lannis appeared out of the ground and dragged his wife under it together with him. John was learning a new spell at the mill when he overheard Zed and Chas talking.
He decided to get dressed and after a while of conversation they looked at the bloody map that showed them Chicago. As it turned out, John found out about Bernie's death, which was not normal. As Zed moved away from the men, Constantine asked Chas to check her out, as she is smart but still doesn't trust her. They broke into the morgue, where an exorcist, using the hand of glory, temporarily resurrected the dead body of a deceased friend, who gave Constantine the last of his strength, saying that a vinyl voice had done so to him, and mentioned "Moonrise.
Following that, the two realized that their next stop should be the old Moonrise Records where Bernie used to work. According to the information found, its owner, Marcus Mooney , was still alive, so they decided to visit him. Thereby they found themselves on the Devonshire nursing ward, where they forced the nurse into the patient's room with an enchanted card. Zed and John started a conversation with Marcus, who told them the story of Willie Cole , selling the Devil 's soul, and the vinyl he had hidden.
He also mentioned that a detective had visited him some time ago, who asked about the same thing, and that he had read the name "Fell" on the sheet. Suddenly, Marcus had a seizure, and when they all ran out to call the nurse, time stood still, which Constantine was the only one who didn't notice. Manny stood over the bed of the dying producer and took his soul.
Soon after, Zed and John broke into the Fell's house. The exorcist believed that a musician, Ian Fell , was behind everything, whom he attacked and accused of murdering Bernie.
After a while, an armed Jasmine appeared, who revealed that she was connected with the whole mess. She talked about a contract signed with a certain Anton , which was to be used as a rescue for her husband who died 20 years ago of cancer.
Everything worked out, but now the same soul trader has promised her that he will return her soul in exchange for the "devil's plate". Constantine decided to visit Anton, encountering Papa Midnite , whose people had stunned the exorcist. When he awoke, he was tied to a metal gate, and the enemy injected him with an anticoagulant, then cut his arm open.
He decided that he would follow his lead, but did not intend to kill him, and would return to him if the hints were incorrect. Soon after, Zed found John at the dump, where she chased away the stranger who was trying to kill him.
After Chandler's arrival, the three of them followed the trail of vinyl victims, and even more. They got a chance to reflect the album only thanks to the vision of Martin, which saw a white tiger, thus pointing to the local radio station. As Zed and Chas tried to cut off the transmit signal, John decided to fight the main problem by getting inside with the headphones. These, however, did not quite work, but fortunately for him, Midnite burst into the building, destroying the speakers and demanding a CD from his people.
However, they did not intend to do it, and this opportunity was used by Constantine, who sent the vinyl to Hell with a spell, which angered the criminal.
However, he did not have time to take revenge as the exorcist escaped. Immediately after that, the team returned for Anton, whom she had brought to the Fell's house. She forced him to eat the contract, which was tantamount to undoing his terms and restoring Jasmine's health and bringing back Ian's illness. After that, the team returned to Atlanta, where they found a moment to rest. John spent the day with Zed in the park, trying to show her that her senses were extremely vulnerable to external stimuli.
Their conversation about drugs was interrupted by Manny, who stopped time to talk to Constantine about the recruit. He wanted to know if the girl was aware of the threat she was facing and if she could handle it all. After Manny disappeared, John decided to return with Martin to the mill, where the exorcist noticed a sloppy break-in. He knew, however, that the criminal had no chance to escape thanks to Jasper's security.
When they entered, they found John's old friend Gary Lester in an anti-gravity trap. Gary explained why he came to Atlanta to stay with Constantine. The reason was his addiction caused by Astra's death, which caused him to party so much that he ended up in Sudan. When he came to his senses, on one of the streets he met a boy, Okot , in whose body a demon was hidden. Gary decided to drive him out, which he succeeded, and then locked him in a jar that he tried to transport to John.
At the airport, however, there was a problem whereby the demon broke free and started killing. Constantine left Zed with Lester and decided to investigate who he was dealing with.
When John returned, he explained that they were battling the hunger demon that was using the host, and when it weakened, he would use another.
Martin handed the exorcist drawings of the boy she had seen through visions after touching Lester, and Constantine decided to visit the shaman. To this end, he contacted a friend, Nommo , who promised to help him. With the help of special drugs, he showed him what he knows with his eyes. He drew him a story of how the shaman of a village, Samir , chose a young boy to trap a demon in him and save the village from starvation. He noted that the symbols on his body must be precisely painted with a special tool that he can find in the museum.
When John returned, after a short conversation with Martin, he realized where his friend had gone. He found it not long after that with two drug dealers who were beating Gary. The exorcist offered them a drug from Nommo in exchange for the freedom of a friend with whom he immediately went to the bar to talk frankly. Seeing on TV that the demon stopped at the cinema, they decided to defeat the beast together. On the way, however, they were forced to break into the museum and divert attention to get the shaman's blade.
At one point, time stopped Manny, who asked John if he really knew what he was doing. After Gary got the item he needed, they went to the movies together, stealing two ID cards on the way. There, they saw a demon in the body of a man eating popcorn. It was then that Gary realized why he was alone with John here - a demon cannot be trapped in any vessel but in another human.
Lester thought it over and decided it might be the best death of his life, the best end to his miserable life - he finally felt needed. In the end, he agreed, so Constantine proceeded to cast the spell. As soon as the demon chose Gary as its next host, John used the blade to engrave protective symbols on his face. Immediately after that, he took him to the mill, where he found Zed.
The girl was angry at the exorcist that he had tricked a friend who only wanted to be like him. He only shouted that Gary knew what he was writing for and had Martin set up a room at the end of the long corridor. After taking Lester there, John tied his screaming friend to the bed and sat next to him, holding his hand. It was difficult for him, and after a while Manny showed up.
This time he did not stop time, but knelt in front of the bed and stared at the suffering man. John was trying to repair one of the artifacts while Zed had been trying to combine her visions with the bloody map for more than two hours. While Chas was preparing a meal, Martin's visions unexpectedly returned. She saw a little boy who was taught by his mother to shoot a pistol.
Thus, Zed obtained a kind of connection with the map, which John was counting on, and they could go to the next place, which was New Orleans. After arriving, the three were the first to go to the mysterious alley where something paranormal happened last night. They found nothing suspicious, but did meet Detective Corrigan who was skeptical of "a bunch of occult freaks.
Soon after, Zed and John checked into the hotel where the exorcist revealed that he was furious that he didn't know anything about Martin. The latter revealed that she did not like wine and headed towards the elevator. When the door opened, the empath saw the street and a broken tree, and then a car racing towards her. Constantine quickly realized that they were currently dealing with two phenomena, so he decided to notify. In the morning, John and Chas went to the place from the vision, where they learned about the death of the driver who had asked about Philip Carlberg 's hitchhiker before his death.
After a while, Corrigan himself arrived, arresting Constantine, suspecting him of being involved in the accident. While his friend was away, Chandler made sure that no one in the alley was hurt. Constantine was being questioned by Jim at the police station.
The detective realized that the exorcist was right and presented him with the files of a model who committed suicide 5 years ago and a boy who died in an accident 3 years ago. John decided it would be good to meet the victims' relatives, as they might know something.
He himself went to see Tammy Fraser , a former model linked to Misaki's suicide, while Zed contacted the hitchhiker's grandmother.
They both revealed that they had recently contacted a certain Papa Midnite, whom Constantine decided to visit. When he found his whereabouts, he interrupted one of his rites and tried to explain what he was doing. The latter, however, angry with him because of the last meeting, put him to sleep and ordered him to be hidden in the trunk. Papa Midnite contacted his deceased sister in Hell , asking her if Constantine was right. Hearing a positive response, he visited Madeline Devereaux , where he also met her late husband , who was in fact a life-draining spirit.
Therefore, he decided to accept John's offer and work with him, but John in return wanted to contact Hell with the help of his sister, after executing the plan. Soon after, Papa and John harvested the bodies of the summoned spirits to perform a ritual that sent them back to where they had come from.
Immediately after that, they tried a ritual that didn't work. The men started arguing, then realized what was blocking them. So they asked Corrigan to bring their relatives dead.
During this time, both Zed and Chas took care of the remaining ghosts. When the detective was found, John explained that in order for everything to succeed, loved ones must forgive the dead and come to terms with their death. Immediately after that, they resumed the ritual, which this time brought the intended results, getting rid of the ghosts. Shortly thereafter, John was drinking whiskey with Papa, and their truce was to end after the drink.
Constnatine asked Midnite to ask the sister about the Coming Darkness, but the sister only revealed that no matter how much heart John puts into the fight, he would still lose, because someone close to him was involved. John, after an intoxicating night with Nora, was awakened by her, who in a hurry and fear began to drive the man out of the house. She informed him that her boyfriend was coming soon and needed to go quickly, then she gave him the clothes and let him out the window. After this incident, Constantine went to the mill, where he prepared himself breakfast.
Chas, in Zed's absence, decided to help John in the next steps, despite his reluctance, and traveled to Birmingham to investigate the strange murder of the entire family.
They drove to the house of the dead, where Constantine decided to check what had happened there, when Chandler was supposed to protect the rear. During the investigation, Manny appeared who once again mentioned that the forces of darkness are growing in power and will be even more difficult to overcome. John tried to force him to say what had happened in the house, but he could not do so, explaining that after giving free will to humans, angels were forbidden to interfere in events.
The exorcist investigated the matter further, discovering that the girl who survived the attack was controlled by an entity inhabiting her body. Meanwhile, in another house in the same town, Henry 's parents were awakened by their son's scream, fearing that someone was in his room.
Daryl and his wife checked the room to prove to him that he was safe, then returned to each other. The young man, however, was still stressed when he suddenly noticed a strange posture behind the curtain.
He cried out in fear, and as his parents ran into the room, he showed calm, informing them that everything would be fine from now on. At the same time, in one of the bars, John met his friend Becca Schultz , who as a lawyer consulted the sources and obtained the documents for the exorcist regarding the last unexplained death of the whole family, except for the child.
The man, however, could not come close to the victims of similar incidents, but he had the opportunity to contact the first of them, a certain Marcello Panetti , who was currently in a psychiatric hospital, where he also went. On the spot, one of the doctors described the Panneti case to him and briefly told him its story.
Constantine then approached the patient he was trying to talk to. Hearing no answer, he stepped closer and saw that Marcello could not be contacted in any way. That same night, Henry began to set traps in the house, one of which was climbed by the father, who did not see the suspect in the son. John and Chas, on the other hand, decided to return to the mill, where they tried to find a trail. There, the exorcist saw that all similar killings were on one geomagnetic line, which allowed them to predict the next victim.
Immediately afterwards, John was looking for something to capture the beast when, in the artifacts, Chas found the Sword of Night that forced the user to tell the truth. Thus, he accidentally revealed that John was too self-righteous and that his wife had departed from him. The exorcist quickly took the artifact from his friend and tried not to comment on the whole incident, finding the item he had been looking for. Soon after, they returned to Birmingham, where they set out to find another youth controlled by the spirit.
During the day, Constantine watched Henry play in the school playground. He noticed his strange behavior and called his teacher to react. Unfortunately, it was too late and the young man hurt his peer, for which he was blamed by the school.
Soon after, John went to the boy's house, where he pretended to be the new school counselor. As he was let into the house as soon as he got close to Henry, he unexpectedly showed his parents with a mandrake root that he was not their son. This angered Daryl, who stunned Constantine. When he woke up, he was in custody, and his prison companion turned into Manny, with whom he had an argument. After a short time, the accusations were withdrawn by Clarie, who saw the change in her son and wanted to know how to deal with it.
They went for a coffee together, where John explained what was happening to her son and came up with a plan, fearing an exorcism after what happened to Astra. He ordered the woman to return home, trick her son to sleep, and then return to him.
After she did so, she met Constantin and Chase in one of the abandoned houses nearby, who were going to help with the ritual. It was the home of the first tragedy of its kind, to which John intended to bind the spirit. Unfortunately, the trial was unsuccessful. Chandler had the idea that Marcello was never possessed, he only killed his parents himself. So they decided to go home, but the boy started to run away, stunning Daryl. John chased him and caught him in the Fear Room, where he drove the Panneti spirit out of Henry's body, which he then gave to his parents.
As it turned out, Marcello murdered his parents himself, but the act was so traumatic that the soul left the body and began to kill. During the exorcism, John sent the boy's soul into his body, which was under the care of doctors from the psychiatric hospital, thanks to which he could not harm anyone else.
When Zed returned to the mill, she began telling John about what had happened to her. The exorcist became interested only after a friend mentioned the vision. So he saw a connection between the stain on the bloody map at Briarwood and the preacher who had risen and began to work miracles. So together they decided to investigate the whole matter, despite Martin's lack of faith.
After reaching the town, they walked to the church where Zachary was preaching. They have witnessed the things he does, including the healing of the old man's eyesight. John also noted that Zed was an unbeliever, but their discussion of faith was interrupted by a preacher who began speaking in Enochian , the language of angels , which made Constantine suspect the preacher's power.
After mass, they decided to line up to Zach only for Zed to touch the man and learn something more through the vision. So it happened and the girl saw the hand extended towards the angel. This made Martin believe that the preacher's actions were right, but John showed otherwise by going to the great pond where all the animals in it died. For he knew it was a sign that something was wrong here. Soon after, Constantine was surprised by Zed's efforts to summon the Angel.
The girl jokingly thought that he should ask nicely, and not perform rituals. When Manny finally showed up and found out about the Enochai-speaking preacher, he gave John a little hint, bending the rules of the Most High, then disappeared. Thus, the exorcist with the help of the confused Zed, using echolocation, tracked down Imogen - the angel whose feather was torn out by Zachary, which caused her to fall to the ground.
They took her to a safe place, where Manny appeared after a while. It turned out that if the angel did not get her feather back, her soul would expire and she would cease to exist. So they decided to recover it, putting a protective spell around the shed before. Meanwhile, on his porch, Zachary was arguing with Sarah , who was still against using a feather. The man, however, was not going to give up, even after learning that the man on whom he had performed the first miracle had killed a policeman.
Angry at her sister, he ordered her to get out and never come back to his community. Some time later, the preacher was visited by Constantine, who was trying to collect the pen. The latter, however, inadvertently rejected the exorcist with a shockwave and ordered him to leave his home. As John returned to the tent, he noticed a man healed by a preacher attacking Zed. At the last moment, he managed to kill him, saving his friend.
They both returned to the angels shortly after, interrupting their conversation about the suffering Imogen had experienced.
For Manny wanted to know what it was like to feel pain. Knowing that the angels were short of time, John and Zed came up with a plan to try to support the preacher's compassion so that during a mass baptism in the lake, the woman was able to retrieve the feather.
The whole crowd was interrupted by the attack of " ghouls " - healed by Zachary, which forced him, along with Constantine and Martin, to flee to the church. There, John ordered Zed to run to Imogen and return her quill when he himself tried to stop the ghouls. It was then that Zachary realized his mistake and said that it was all his fault and that everything could have turned out differently had he not killed a man by accident one evening.
Thus Constantine realized that they had made a mistake, because Imogen is not an angel of Heaven at all, but of Hell. So he decided to run to the shed and stop Zed, but when he arrived it was too late. Imogen showed her true form, the Fallen Angel, and tried to run away, but the previously created protective spell prevented her from leaving the shed. As it turned out, she herself put a feather in the preacher's hand in order to be in the human dimension and then be able to live in it.
Knowing there was no way out, she grabbed Zed and was ready to kill her if John didn't pull the spell. The exorcist knew he could not stand up to its power and pleaded with Manny for help, who could not interfere with the events. The Angel, however, could not allow this to happen, and took over Martin's body, tearing out Imogen's heart, killing her. Soon after at the mill, Manny admitted to John that he was facing the consequences of his actions, but he knows that he did the right thing.
Zed went back to drawing in order to forget about the recent events of Imogen. John recognized the Invunche sketches, powerful evil beings that had died out long ago. Suddenly, Anne Marie Flynn appears at the mill in an astral projection, asking Constantine for help and explaining the recent incidents in Mexico. She gives him the address where to go and then disappears. While packing, John explains to his friend who Anne was to him and at the same time forbids her to go, recognizing that she is still on sick leave.
Together with Chase, they arrive at the designated address, which turns out to be a monastery. When the men saw Anne Marie, they were surprised that she became a nun. Then they go inside, where the woman briefly introduces the subject to her friends. They manage to establish that what the child took is clearly blurring its tracks. All the while John tried to improve his relationship with Anna, but she still held a grudge against the exorcist for what he had done in Newcastle.
Soon after, they both decided to check the baby's fetus, which, according to the local family , should be buried underground. So they went to the front of the Lopez house, where they found no fetus, but the fruit on the tree was made of skin and blood.
John and Anne decided to explain everything to Hugo , describing the find as old ties to the Garden of Eden. It also recalls the story of the first humans on Earth , namely Eve and her sisters , who rejected Adam 's offer to serve as goddesses in Hell.
After returning to the monastery, it turned out that another child had disappeared. To everyone's surprise, it was a descendant of Hugo, more precisely a child of his eldest son.
This made Constantine understand that the monster they were confronting wanted the Lopez blood. Against her will, Anne Marie decides to summon evil to the monastery, using a fountain. The rite is stopped by sister Luisa, whom the exorcist suspects as being one of Eve's sisters.
He pronounces their names one by one and when he comes across Lamashtu , she transforms into a devilish demon in front of his eyes and attacks him.
However, John manages to break free, and the witch runs away. I suppose there is a similarity with Baron Winters in that he is another manipulative character who has a bunch of agents working with him.
Somebody who was streetwise, working class, and from a different background than the standard run of comic book mystics. Constantine started to grow out of that. It ran until , and was the longest-running continuously published Vertigo title.
Although a compassionate humanist who struggles to overcome the influence of both Heaven and Hell over humanity and despite his occasional forays into heroism, Constantine is a foul-mouthed cynic who pursues a life of sorcery and danger.
His motivation has been attributed to an adrenaline addiction that only the strange and mysterious can sate. He also seems to be something of a "weirdness magnet". Constantine is shown to be someone with a wide and international circle of contacts and allies, and is supremely adept at making friends. He has had many girlfriends as well, and mentions past boyfriends in Hellblazer issue However, a running theme in the book is that his close friends inevitably suffer or are outright killed simply by being in his life; this has left a severe mark on him.
In Hellblazer issue 69 , when The King of Vampires killed a man in front of John and casually asked if he'd been a friend, John replied "Must be. He's dead. Since Constantine ages in real time, his appearance has changed with age.
Throughout the series he is usually portrayed with blond short hair sometimes lighter or longer depending on the artist of the issue and blue eyes. Some issues have him with facial hair while others give him a clean shave. While Constantine has worn many clothes over the years he was originally portrayed as often wearing a blue pin-stripe suit, tan trench coat and occasionally gloves. As the series progressed his trademark attire became a grungier, more rumpled trench coat, white shirt and black tie.
Constantine chain-smokes Silk Cut cigarettes, consuming thirty or so a day. After Constantine was possessed by Swamp Thing , the plant elemental had a tree tattooed on his right buttock - a small revenge for years of being manipulated. Swamp Thing issue 76 Other notable features include a large scar on his left cheek, caused by his demonic daughter, Maria, attacking him with a knife in Hellblazer issue and a missing left thumb, which he severed after being driven insane in Hellblazer issue In the movie Constantine He is played by American actor Keanu Reeves who was portrayed as a man in his early to mid 30's with black short hair and dressed in the same style as the original John Constantine, however Keanu's John wore a fitted black trench coat as oppose to the usual tan or beige trench coats.
This John also has connecting sigils tattooed on his arms used for incantations and revealing celestial beings into the human plane. The Television series Constantine portrays Matt Ryan more closer to the original source material from dying Matt's hair blond, to dressing him in the same style as the comics.
