John Constantine (Earth-Prime)

"I've banished demons, slain dragons, and walked through the fires of Hell. I'm a sneaky bastard and the greatest sorcerer that ever lived."

- John Constantine

John Constantine is an occult detective, exorcist, demonologist and a self-coined Master of the Dark Arts.

In 2005, Constantine attempted to resurrect her ex-girlfriend, Natalie, from the dead. The resurrection was successful, the ritual was "botched" and a demon possessed Natalie's daughter Astra Logue. Constantine then attempted to exorcise the demon but once again failed, sending Logue to Hell and bearing the guilt with him for over a decade. Years later, Constantine encountered the Legends of Tomorrow, who were trying to battle Mallus. Constantine assisted them briefly before joining when they liberated mystical beings across the timeline, with him serving as the Legends' magic consultant. Thankfully, they were able to rid the timeline of the fugitives' influence, and he continued to investigate abnormal activities across the planet with Gary Green.

After the Crisis, Constantine discovered that Logue was hellbent in seeking revenge on him, with her resurrecting Encores across the timeline and Constantine once more returned to the Waverider. However, with his accelerated cancer, Constantine bargained with Logue to allow him more time to find the Loom of Fate. Soon afterwards, Logue joined the Legends and successfully located the pieces of the loom, though being defeated by the Fates and reality was rewritten. The Legends then fought for free will and restored the world, with Constantine and Logue staying on the team after Sara Lance was abducted by aliens.

During the process of locating Lance, Constantine lost his abilities and began searching for the Fountain of Imperium. His addiction to power also severely damaged his mind and began hallucinating a version of himself. Eventually, he was manipulated by Bishop to find the fountain in Odessa in 1925, before causing the death of the fountain. The fountain then absorbed Constantine into itself, and he attempted to the contact the Legends, through telling them to eat a piece of his remains to enter the fountain. Constantine later assisted the Legends in thwarting the Zaguron Invasion and made a deal with an associate in Hell, exchanging his soul for his liberation from the fountain. Before leaving the Legends with the Time Stone, Constantine gifted Zari Tarazi a key to his pocket dimension.

Early Life
John Constantine was born in 1982 to Tommy Constantine and Mary Anne in Liverpool, with his mother dying giving birth to him.

"You know where I'm from, being normal is being crushed by the boot of capitalism and then blaming it on anyone with brown skin. It's being told that only degenerates can fancy men and women. It's your old man coming home drunk every night and beating you to a pulp because that's what his old man done to him, but magic, Spooner, the ability to break the rules, to stick it to the rich and the powerful, that's who I am. And I'm nothing without it."

- John Constantine to Cruz

During his childhood, Constantine was physically abused by his father when the latter returned home drunk. Constantine then grew up being told that only degenerates can fancy men and women, with normalcy being crushed by the "boot" of capitalism and blaming the result on brown-skinned people.

Master of the Dark Arts
Later, Constantine started a band known as the Mucous Membrane and performed with his girlfriend, Natalie. The duo and a series of individuals then founded the Newcastle Crew, a group of Magic users. However, Constantine chose the occult over his relationship with Natalie, and she left him.

Throughout his exploration in the occult world, Constantine met Papa Midnite, Chas Chandler and Nommo, acquainting them and eventually trusting them with a series of mystical artifacts. He also learned of the existence of Damien Darhk.

At some point, Constantine met a man named Old Man Joe and exorcised his 1975 fiat which was possessed by a Demon.

Years later, he "botched" the exorcism of Natalie and resulted in her daughter, Astra Logue, being wrongfully damned to Hell. This later became Constantine's first sin in his entire life while he regretted his decisions for almost two decades.

In 2015, Constantine resurrected Sara Lance and rescued her from Purgatory. This established a link between their souls and allows Constantine to locate the latter.

Joining the Legends
In 2017, Constantine started encountering the Legends of Tomorrow and briefly worked alongside them. The Legends then defeated Mallus with indirect assistance from Constantine.

A year later, Constantine started encountering magical creatures set loose on Earth. He then reluctantly joined the Legends and travelled across time, hunting those so-called Magical Fugitives. Among them was Charlie, a Shape-Shifter hiding her identity as a Fate. Constantine then removed her shape-shifting capabilities and acquainted her, working alongside her on the team as magic consultants.

However, unbeknownst to Constantine, Neron was among those fugitives and began to plot his plan to rule over Earth. Constantine then fought against him with the Legends and created Heyworld, a theme park with magical fugitives as its feature. Constantine created a glamour of himself as Nate Heywood as Neron kills the true version of the latter, breaking his promise and expelling himself out of Ray Palmer's body. Constantine then took the opportunity and destroyed his true form, ending their feud once and for all. Following the battle of Heyworld, Gary Green used his final wish from Fairy Godmother to become Constantine's apprentice.

At some point, Constantine was caught stealing the Waverider Jump Ship by Gideon. He claimed to be consulting druids but was discovered by Gideon that he was holding a ticket to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter.

Meet the Legends
In January 2020, Constantine and Green were filmed by the crew of Meet the Legends in NYC, a documentary crew assigned to make the Legends' operations more transparent in order to gain the senate's funding. Green then introduced Constantine's role on the team and his "reform" since last year. Constantine stepped in the frame moments later and ordered Green to follow him.

Constantine and Green then arrived at a building where they were called to exorcise a demon out of a little boy. He then found out that the demon was his old friend, Masher and brought him to a bar, only to get kicked out due to the little boy's age. They then talked to each other outside of the bar and discovered Logue's plan. Constantine sent Mashed back to Hell as he ordered Green to send the boy home. The master and the apprentice later contacted the Legends, warning them of the upcoming threats of resurrected souls, not knowing that they have been fighting one recently.

During the documentary's premiere event, Constantine found the Waverider in NYC and boarded it. Constantine quickly went to the galley and found the remains of Rasputin, ingesting most of it and performed a spell in order to travel to Hell for Logue.

Now in Hell, Constantine went to Brimstone and found Logue. However, she summoned Masher and tortured him before teleporting him away. Constantine faced her with the souls she has sent back to Earth with her replying that those souls has been bringing her more souls, placing her with more power in Hell. Constantine was frustrated and returned to the Waverider, telling the team about Logue's plan.

Moore and Jeanie
Constantine, Palmer and Lance later found themselves to be in 1947 Los Angeles investigating the return of the supposedly deceased Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. The trio then discovered a pile of ashes of a private investigator. Meanwhile, Jeanie Hill entered and surprised the team, causing Constantine to use the identity of the deceased's partner. The team later went to Bugsy's club and worked alongside Jeanie in order to defeat an Encore.

Later, Constantine stood up to Hill as she started to have a close contact with Siegel. She revealed that the reason why she wanted their protection is that Siegel has a series of extortion photos of individuals in the city. While they attempted to leave, they discovered that Siegel has been using a firearm charged with Hellfire. Back at the private investigator office, Constantine found a clue on the matchbook on the table, revealing the location of the extortion photos. Constantine and Hill then kissed each other and made out in the office.

Soon, the two went to a cemetery and found the photos. Unfortunately, Constantine was betrayed and Hill decided to use the photos for her own power. Hill held the mystic firearm against Constantine as she left in her car. While Constantine left, Palmer caught his attention and warned about Hill's car being sabotaged. Constantine sprinted across the cemetery, only to see Hill being killed in an explosion. Furious and disappointed, Constantine left the cemetery with Palmer and returned to the Waverider.

"I came all the way down here to tell you that I'm not giving up on you. And even if it takes me 'till the end of my days, I promise you that I will find a way."

- John Constantine to Astra Logue

Constantine soon found Siegel in the lab, bringing him to a series of runes, asking Rory to complete his spell with his Heat Gun. Constantine brought Siegel back to Hell, killing a series of demons on the way to Logue. Constantine informed that he never and will not abandon Logue, executing Siegel in front of her and emphasizing his point. Constantine opened a portal and informed the Legends that the weapon is gone while Logue remains alive.

Haunting Past
Days later, Constantine returned to his manor and greeted a backward-walking Gary Green. Constantine reversed the latter's unsuccessful spell and restored his normalcy. They then entered the building, only to find a group of people with an imposter among them. Constantine ordered the group to leave and realized it was Charlie who was taking his appearance. Constantine was troubled by Charlie's presence and told her about his past with the Newcastle Crew, revealing that Natalie's haunting spirit has been residing in his manor since her death. Charlie motivated Constantine as he entered the room of the spirit, facing the past he tried so hard to forget.

While Constantine was facing Natalie, Charlie and Green decided to spare Constantine of the screams they were hearing. Green performed a spell and partially opened the door, removing the doorknob and freeing Natalie in the process. Surprised and angered by their actions, Constantine questioned what Green had done. Later, Natalie conjured a series of fond memories of the couple, and questioned Constantine's decision to pick the occult over their relationship. Constantine emphasized that it was the right choice after Natalie revealed that her unsuccessful resurrection was the cause of the chaos at the moment. Natalie then possessed the body of Charlie, informing Constantine of the Loom of Fate (Mount Olympus)Loom of Fate. However, before Constantine could question Charlie of the loom's location, Logue sped up his death using his Soul Token, moving his death by lung cancer 10 years earlier. Constantine then collapsed on the ground and surprised both Green and Charlie.

"I just want you to know that even though you gave up on her, your mum never gave up on you."

- Constantine to Logue

Constantine was then taken to the Waverider as the Legends brought him to the medical bay. Gideon ran a diagnostic test on Constantine and revealed that his lung cancer was terminal. Constantine took out a cigarette, attempting to smoke as there will be no consequences, only to be prevented by Ava Sharpe. Desperate and in a hurry, Constantine made a deal with the archangel Gabriel, with the latter refusing it. Constantine eventually poisoned himself to die of his own terms, with a testament and warnings given to Green in order to prevent further chaos in the occult world. Sent to Purgatory, Constantine faces Astra and promised to search for the Loom of Fate (Mount Olympus)Loom of Fate in order to resurrect Natalie. Logue hesitated and chose to give ten years of Constantine's life back in exchange for her mother. Constantine was then brought back to life and found his friends by his side.

Recovered from his cancer, Constantine questioned Charlie multiple times about the whereabouts of the Loom of Fate. Charlie refused and Constantine approached Heywood, who was disguised by Charlie and misguided Constantine to the North Pole. Constantine returned with no result and found the real Heywood. Constantine was then furious about Charlie's lies and deception. He returned to his manor and found Damien Darhk. Both were surprised to meet each other for the first time and fought, with their battle being paused when Nora told her father that Constantine was her fiancé, going with the former's story and pretended to be her loved one. The "family" soon sat together and had dinner with Lance and Sharpe. However, Constantine revealed the truth when he was unable to watch the arguments between them continue. Furious, Damien attempted to kill the Legends before Pippa arrived and sent all of them to Mr. Parker's Cul De Sac. Constantine would then talk to Charlie and convince her to help him gather the loom. The Legends were released back to the real world after learning their lessons, eventually witnessing the marriage of Ray Palmer and Nora Darhk.

Death of Constantine
"As luck would have it, I'm all out of tricks this time. You were my greatest failure... and my biggest accomplishment. God, you look like your mum. She would be so proud of you, so proud."
