This is an unnamed, advanced race of aliens who watched the cosmic crystalline prison of the seven gods of chaos known as the Ogdru Jahad.
Biology[]
The aliens are humanoid, possessing grey skin and wear bulky armored suits. Their cranium appear to have some ridges that run down the tops of their head and possess flat faces and slits that appear to be nostrils. Unlike humans they appear to possess four fingers. At least one individual has show to be capable of altering their appearance via some sort of mental ability.
History[]
The aliens civilization predate the civilizations of man. At one point in their history their world was attacked by a member of the Ogdru Hem, devasting their civilization. The beings were helpless against it at first though managed to drive it away using their technology.
Somehow the beings managed to track the source of where the Ogdru Hem came leading them to the prison of the Ogdru Jahad, in which they placed a monitoring station there to guard it. They also located the source where the entities originated which was Earth during the end of the Hyperborean Age. One of the aliens known as the Visitor was stationed on Earth since ancient times of the second race of man.
In 1944, the Visitor was disguised as an Allies soldier and was present when the Anung Un Rama arrived on Earth. With the appearance of the one who would destroy the world before him, the alien assassin discreetly took out his prism to eliminate the being, but stopped when Professor Trevor Bruttenholm urged the soldiers around him not to harm the child who he named Hellboy. Seeing that the humans could offer mercy to a monster like Hellboy, the Visitor reconsidered his order to kill the child. After separating from the Allies he reported his change of heart to his superiors that he could not kill the child even if he was the great destroyer. He believed that despite Hellboy's origins of being the son of a demon, he still had the blood of a human from his mother. For now Hellboy was an innocent and could not be blamed for the circumstances of his birth. His superior thought that the Visitor's decision was too fastidious and urged him to complete the assignment and return to the station before they were out of range from Earth. The Visitor was steadfast in his choice and promised that if Hellboy turned to the dark he would correct it. For now the Visitor was allowed to remain on Earth. Over the years he watched Hellboy develop and secretly shadowed him on his missions. Hellboy continued to surprise the alien as the half-demon was pure of heart and continued defying his destiny.
By the 21st century, Earth had looked to be overtaken by the agents of the Ogdru Jahad. The Mad Monk Rasputin had risen from the dead, becoming the Ogdru Jahad's emissary on Earth and devasted human civilization. The effects of the monk's actions were noticed by the aliens at the station, noting that the Ogdru Jahad's prison would be broken and they would not just destroy Earth but other worlds as well. The aliens realized that they were no longer safe and looked to relocate the station, some even lamented that they could have stopped this outcome had their own agent followed through in killing Hellboy decades ago. The captain of the station though had faith in their agent's decision, as he may have allowed a hero to be born and believed that Hellboy and his allies would be their salvation.
In the end, the alien's faith in Hellboy was proven true when he died fighting to destroy Rasputin. Though it costed the world, the Right Hand of Doom was taken from his corpse and used by a human cult known as the Osiris Club to summon the Ogdru Jahad to Earth, causing the dragons to impact the planet, wiping out not just the eldritch monsters but the Ogdru Hem as well. The cult then proceeded to use the Hand to make themselves gods, by absorbing the power of the dead Ogdru Jahad. However before they could achieve their goal, the ghost of Hellboy appeared to reclaim his Hand, destroying the cult and restoring him to life.
With Hellboy's last action, he merged with the goddess Hecate, his blood spilling unto the dead Earth bringing back life to the planet and starting anew.
Culture[]
Not much is known about the species, though their actions suggests they have a interest in the events of Earth and are aware of the paranormal aspects in which the world centers on the balance of the universe. Their technology appears to be very potent as an artifact of theirs is capable of banishing the spirits of the Ogru Hem, a feat which is beyond even some of the most powerful Earth mystics.
