Nimue (Hellboy)



Nimue the Queen of Blood is a villainess in the Hellboy comics. A powerful sorceress, Nimue lived during the reign of King Arthur. Due to her power, she was imprisoned by the witches of Britain for 1, 500 years before her revival to lead the Wild Hunt.

History
In life, Nimue was loved by the wizard Merlin, who told her all of his secrets. However, Nimue betrayed Merlin and eternally imprisoned him alive inside of his grave. Driven to madness without Merlin to guide her, Nimue began to worship the Ogdru Jahad. Nimue was killed by the witches of Britain and her body pieces scattered across the Earth, but they would always rejoin, prompting the witches to imprison her inside a wooden box and burying her within the Earth.
