Phlegethonyarre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phlegethonyarre is a Malebolgia archetypal demon lord, appearing in the Curse of the Spawn miniseries 1-4. He commands power over the 12th Level and, although he puts up a fearsome appearance, he does not engage in any battles nor force Daniel Llanso with his power.

Character description

He attempts by setup to have Daniel kill his still living sister and her young son, Matt but underestimates how hard it would be to goad his Hellspawn into the murder of his only remaining family. Daniel consequently saves his sister, Madrid Llanso, and Matt, killing a Minor demon named Desiccator. Phlegethonyarre then calls forth his servant Abaddon (the angel of the bottomless pit), and commands him to set up Spawn so that he would be forced to kill Madrid Llanso and/or her son.

The Anti-Pope, an apparently still alive servant of Satan who leads the "Spiritual" forces of Hell's army on Earth, summons forth another named demon (Bune) to attack a human survivor encampment where Madrid and Matt find refuge. The Anti-Pope also sends in a freshly risen necro zombie to infiltrate the camp and pass as human. Spawn battles and with a minor use of his Darklight power saves the human encampment, along with Madrid Llanso and her son, and kills Bune. Matt is kidnapped by the necro zombie and is taken to 'The Tower', where Abaddon awaits Spawn. Spawn arrives and is given a choice to watch as Matt would be "Baptized" (disembowelled and eviscerated, and into the wound is poured worms, roaches, lice, fleas, grubs, spiders, before the person is 'prayed' over, infused with darklight and sewn back up to rise as the undead) or kill him and release his soul to heaven (though this is probably a lie).

Spawn refuses and saves Matt. Battling Abaddon, he again defies Phlegethonyarre and uses his necro darklight energy to destroy the tower, and apparently Abaddon, in a huge blast.

Physical Appearance

Phlegethonyarre looks much like Malebolgia; a fat, sharp-toothed demon with a large lower jaw dripping pus. Phlegethonyarre has the ability to alter his shape and size, though he only is drawn in his true form. Instead of hair he has spikes growing from his head in the shape of a mohawk. Phlegethonyarre's power seems to come from a form of evil energy called Darklight, an energy similar to Necroplasm.
