HISTORY
"Thousands of years ago, a long-since forgotten civilization worshiped their demon-god, Nebiros [So he's not just a demon! He's a god! I think it's an insult to say he rules "a nameless hell". Or is that his own description of his world?]. Their priests breached the void between his dimension and our own, unleashing the monster on the world. They sacrificed captives to him, and in return he led their armies in an attempt to conquer the world.

Eventually Nebiros' empire grew to threaten the other great powers of the day: Mu, Lemuria, and Atlantis. The greatest mages of these realms banded together to defeat Nebiros. They vanquished his armies and banished him to his own dark dimension [Oh, so now it's simply a "dark dimension"?]; forever, they hoped.

But six thousand years later, Nebiros was accidentally freed by Sharon Scott and Wayne Tarrant, friends of Dan Cassidy, during the filming of Blue Devil (see Blue Devil). Cassidy defeated the monster, returning him to his realm, but at terrible cost to himself [If you call having a gigantic blue demon stunt suit with super powers fused to your body a cost!].

Shortly thereafter, Nebiros became freed again, this time threatening Mexico. Once more he was defeated by the Blue Devil, who was aided by Zatanna (see Zatanna).

Now Nebiros broods in his dark realm [Or nameless hell. Or dark dimension.], dreaming of returning to Earth to conquer the world and avenge himself upon the Blue Devil."

POWERS & WEAPONS
"Nebiros is an awesomely mighty engine of raw mystic power. His magic is not refined into spells and incantations, but rather is unleashed as pure supernatural chaos.

He is virtually indestructible, possessed of nearly limitless strength and stamina, fast beyond belief, and inhumanly savage.

For a brief period he possessed the Blue Devil's trident, which he altered into a potent conduit to channel and control mystic energy from his dimension, but the Blue Devil eventually regained control of the trident, and Nebiros generally eschews weaponry [He sounds so sophisticated!].

Perhaps Nebiros' only real weakness is his odd, demonic sense of honor [Oh no! Not this bullshit again! Honor is always a person's downfall!]. By his own standards, he is an ethical being, adhering to a code of conduct that, while terrifyingly alien, is also rigorous. He is direct and straightforward, and this makes him peculiarly susceptible to the subterfuges of less honorable entities [and to Daniel Cassidy's bad jokes.]"
