Ogdru-Jahad (2004 Film)

"In the coldest regions of space, the monstrous entities Ogdru Jahad - the Seven Gods of Chaos - slumber in their crystal prison, waiting to reclaim Earth... and burn the heavens"

- Des Vermis Mysteeriis, page 87

The Ogdru Jahad, also the Seven Gods of Chaos, served as the true main antagonist in the 2004 Film Hellboy.

They are adapted from the the entity of the same name from the Hellboys-comics, but have some differences of their original source, most notably their apperance.

History
(Note: It is not known how much of the original lore from the comics were used in the Guillermo del Toro adaptation)

At some point in ancient times the Ogdru Jahad were trapped in a crystal prison in the coldest regions of outer space.

Despite being physically trapped, they managed to comunicate telepathically with other beings, most notably Grigori Rasputin who viewed the creatures as "his god" who choose not to remain silent.

In 1944 Rasputin, with the help of the Nazis, led the Project Ragna Rok  to unleash the ancient deities through a portal, in order to lead Nazi-Germany into victory and bring forth a "new Eden".

While the group was able to summon the key to unsleash the old ones, known as the Right Hand of Doom into the mortal plain, the project was deemed a failure, as the Allies stormed the ritual-site, killing most of the Nazis and Rasputin was sucked into outer space through the portal. The Right Hand of Doom (later known as Hellboy) was adopted by Trevor Bruttenholm, founder of the B.P.R.D..

Rasputin managed to survive the attack, and was stayed alive, since of the Ogdru Jahad's kin lived now inside him.

60 years after WW2 Ilsa Von Haupstein and Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, two survivors of Project Ragna Rok, managed to resurect Rasputin in Moldavia.

The three, with the help of the Sammael, managed to lure Hellboy into an old temple that located near Moscow, Russia, where they would tempt him into releasing the Seven Gods of Chaos. Hellboy refuesed in the beginning, but agreed when he saw that Rasputin could resurect his presumed dead girlfirend Liz Sherman.

As Hellboy used his Right Hand of Doom to release the Ogdru Jahad from the crystal prison and open a portal through a solar eclipse, B.P.R.D-agent John Meyers managed to snap Hellboy out of his duty as the harbinger of the apocalypse, by throwing his late father's crusifix at the half-demon.

Hellboy then managed to close the portal and kill both Rasputin and the Behemoth that served the Seven Gods of Chaos. The Ogdru Jahad were likely put back into their crystal prison.
