Joel Black

Biography
Joel Black is a monster hunter, paranormal investigator, and sorcerer, dedicated to exterminating all malevolent supernatural threats; a mission he follows in pursuit of the demon that killed his family.

Early Years
As a child, Joel was raised in a small monastery in Houston, Texas. His father was the the church's head priest, as well as a highly respected exorcist within the community. In secret, the clergymen of the church would hunt demonic forces that threatened the world. Although too young to become a hunter at the time, Joel was trained at a very young age. He was taught demonology and sorcery, as well trained to use firearms and various other forms of weaponry.

When Joel was 18, a powerful demon had gotten through into the church. Joel's father and the rest of the church attempted to fight off the demon, although it proved too powerful. Eventually, the demon decided to possess Joel's body, as his will was the weakest of all the men. The demon, now possessing Joel, unleashed its power and incinerated the entire church, killing everyone in it. Joel was eventually able to force the demon out of his body although it had fled back to Hell before Joel could kill it.

Sickened at what he had done, Joel promised to continue his father's work and find and kill the demon who had murdered his family. Joel had gained a much darker outlook on life. He would further train himself and continue to study sorcery until he knew everything he could get his hands on. Eventually, Joel would gain an infamous reputation in the world of the supernatural.
