==Biography==
=== Early life ===
Many years ago, a cult of Satanists used a ritual known as "The Bride of Satan" to temporarily summon Trigon, who took the form of a man. Per the Satanists' intent, Trigon intended to take and impregnate Arella, to which she agreed upon seeing his human form. On the night of consummation, Trigon revealed his true form, to Arella's horror, and impregnated her. After, Arella fled from the cult and went on the run. She was approached by people from the inter-dimensional realm of Azarath and given a new start. There as Arella, she raised her and Trigon's daughter, Raven. Raven didn't fit in and thought if she found out more about her father, she would be able to make more sense of herself. Instead, she accidentally brought Trigon to Azarath. Trigon destroyed Azarath and killed its residents then took Raven back with him to his realm and domain, a hellish universe. He attempted to use her to open a portal to Earth so he may conquer it, Raven managed to entrap him in his crystal. Trigon desired Earth but needed a powerful conduit to open Earth to his control. Since Raven was part half-human, she could serve as that conduit. Trigon underestimated Raven's magic and was trapped inside his crystal. Raven sealed the crystal within a floating structure that only she could open.
=== Justice League vs. Teen Titans ===
Raven wanted a home and went to Earth. She was taken in by Starfire at the Titans Tower. Without asking, Raven placed a protective spell on all the Titans to prevent Trigon from corrupting them. Trigon sent his sons, the Corruptors, to Earth in search of the means to his rising, Raven and the Infernal Shrine. While the possessed Superman unearthed the shrine 60 miles north of Kahndaq City in the Middle East, the others found Raven at a carnival and told her to go to the hill beyond the tent. Trigon made contact and declared it was their destiny to be together because they were family. He implored her to bring him to Earth. She refused and vowed to fight him at every step. The Corruptors opened fire on her.
Trigon mocked her for letting herself become weak and lonely and aligning with chattel. He found it beneath his contempt and vowed she would know his glory. The other Teen Titans joined her in battle until she eventually used her soul self to banish the Corruptors. Raven teleported the Titans to Azarath to shield themselves from Trigon and reveal her origins to them. They returned to the Tower but the Justice League (excluding Green Lantern, Aquaman, Shazam, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter) arrived and wanted to take Raven into their custody. Robin objected but the stand off was interrupted by the Corruptors, who possessed the League. Trigon anticipated that the League would try to take Raven, and had his corruptors waiting to grab them; but Batman, saved himself by injecting himself with nerve toxin designed to counteract stop take down and for Bane forcing the Corruptor out of him. all at once. The possessed League threatened to kill the Titans but Raven agreed to go to the Infernal Shrine. Raven flew to the shrine and powered it. 24 hours later, Cyborg and the Titans implemented their plans and freed Superman of Corruptor control by stabbing him with a shard of kryptonite. He then freed Wonder Woman and the Flash but they were too late. The shrine generated a massive portal and Trigon emerged from it. He marched towards Kahndaq City Metropolis Keystone City and Gotham City. Raven knew the only way stop him was get the crystal from his realm.
Wonder Woman, Superman, and the Flash attacked Trigon with boulders and their strength but it did little to deter Trigon. He didn't acknowledge them and continued to Kahndaq. Not even Superman's heat vision could stop him. He lay waste to the city, projecting energy blasts from his eyes, as the League continued in vain to try and fight back. Trigon reached out to Raven and promised to strip the flesh from the bones of the Justice League then her friends. He vowed Earth and all the souls on it would soon belong to him. He implored her to give up because she was weak like her mother. Raven countered her only weakness was loving him and hoping he would love her in return. She declared she found friends she would give her life for, friends who gave her the love and strength to stop him again. Raven chose a shard of the crystal and asked Azarath for her strength to contain Trigon. Raven's soul self crossed over to Kahndaq City Metropolis Keystone City and Gotham City and enveloped Trigon. Trigon attempted to fight back but he was pulled back to his realm into the shard. Trigon was irate and vowed it would never be over. He would keep trying to escape.
Raven elected to stay in Trigon's realm and watch over the shard. It would be her home. Robin quoted Robert Frost and convinced Raven that her home was with the Titans on Earth. Raven decided to wear the shard on her forehead like a chakra. In a way, they were together as he wanted. Trigon screamed for his release and vowed to get out and kill everyone she loved. Raven continued to ignore him and partied with Cyborg and the other Titans on pizza night.
===Justice League Dark===
He was mentioned by Wonder Woman when Batman talked about Magic when these crimes induced by nightmare visions fears and committed by law-abiding citizens although these nightmares fears and negative emotions are caused by Destiny and Dreamstone.
===Teen Titans: The Judas Contract===
He was just mentioned by Terra Starfire and Raven.
===Justice League Dark: Apokolips War===
Throughout the course of the movie, Trigon continues to torment Raven, who struggles in keeping Trigon at bay inside of her. While Raven was having a private conversation with Damian Wayne, she reveals that Trigon wishes to kill him, wanting to strip Raven of anything or anyone that brings her joy, which is why she chose not to accompany him to the League of Assassins. As Raven continues to use her powers, she is left in a weakened state due to her internal conflict with Trigon.
When the resistance force attacks LexCorp in search of the boom tube and Lex Luthor in his battle suit hurts Damian, Raven momentarily loses control and a portion of Trigon emerges, which destroys Luthor's suit and almost kills him, but Clark Kent's words help her regain control. When Damian checks on Raven, Trigon briefly emerges to declare that he will kill Damian, before being subdued by Raven completely.
When Damian Wayne is seemingly killed by Darkseid, Raven loses her mind and Trigon is freed from his bondage. John Constantine undergoes his plan of using his magic to deal with Trigon, keeping him in a state where his bondage is not completely broken, but he is still on the outside of Raven's body. Constantine offers Trigon his body as a host, but Trigon exclaims that he has a better idea, using Clark Kent's body as a host and swiftly killing Constantine afterwards by snapping his neck. Having taken over Superman's body and getting rid of the liquid Kryptonite that left him de-powered, Trigon turns his attention to Darkseid, interested in fighting him to see how powerful a New God is. The two begin fighting as Trigon quickly gains the upper hand.
After the death of Lois Lane on Earth, Kal-El/Clark Kent's reaction forces Trigon out of his body and he reassumes control, and Trigon's entity (in the form of smoke) is trapped inside a sphere created by Darkseid's omega beam. While Superman fights Darkseid, Cyborg hatches a plan of transporting Darkseid and his forces into a black void, but the heroes refuse to leave Superman behind despite Darkseid needing to be distracted for it to work. Constantine and Raven hatch the idea of using Trigon, combining their magic to grant Trigon a physical form, and Trigon takes over the fight with Darkseid, ordering Superman to leave unless he wants to "get through him to get to Darkseid".
Trigon and Darkseid resume their battle, with Trigon gaining the upper hand quickly, determined to defeat Darkseid and gain his position as top in the universe. Before Raven is transported to Earth by Cyborg, Trigon thanks her for this gift and tells her to be well, and Raven says goodbye to her father. Darkseid tries to escape before he is pulled into the black void, but Trigon pulls him inside along with himself, becoming trapped there for all eternity along with Cyborg, still fused with Apokolips, and the kryptonian parademon supersoldiers and genetic hybrids of Parademons and Doomsday who are created by Darkseid using Superman's Kryptonian DNA, Paradooms.
== Physical appearance ==
Most of the time, Trigon has an appearance as a tall and heavily muscular humanoid with red skin and black marks on his body. He has burning amber yellow pupil-less eyes, flowing white hair, he does not have bat-like wings and tail, black horns which are bent to front and slightly up with forked ends.
== Personality ==
Trigon is viewed as an ultimate personification of cruelty, ruthlessness, conquest, and destruction, bent on conquering the entire universe as well as Earth.
He has proven to be manipulative and adept, such as when he had his demons possess the Justice League to get to Raven, and his threat to kill Damien if Raven didn't eventually release him. He is very arrogant, though he has immense god-like power and a level of craftiness to somewhat back this ego up. He's apparently also hard to impress even when meeting other beings on a similar power level to himself; he was only mildly interested to meet a New God for the first time when encountering Darkseid but stated that he was overall unimpressed. He apparently has a sense of warrior pride and even a vague semblance of honor, shown during his duel with Darkseid where he ultimately enjoyed having an opponent who was closer to his level to fight, and when he merely told Superman to leave the fight to him or challenge him for the right to end Darkseid.
Trigon largely cares about no-one but himself, and has absolutely no empathy in him. He notably saw Arella as nothing more than a tool, effectively discarding her once Raven was conceived, and murdering her along with the other inhabitants of Azarath. Raven notes that Trigon is incapable of giving love to others, and only knows how to bring others pain, herself being no exception. Despite his ways are very much like Darkseid , Trigon has proven to be somehow less malevolent than the latter and still has normal feelings and can express them straight like he express gratitude to his daughter. He is also more honorable and can keep his word as he fights with Darkseid after was freed by Raven and John.
Trigon also carries a strong hatred and desire to kill Damian Wayne. This is because he is aware of his daughter’s feelings for him, knowing that if Damian were to die, Raven’s emotional grief will weaken his bonds and free him from his prison. Because of this, he regularly threatened Raven that if she did not release him he would murder Damian, as a means of coercing his daughter into freeing him. It’s also implied that Trigon simply wanted to kill Damian for being the greatest source of happiness in Raven’s life.
This incarnation of Trigon has a toxic sense of attachment toward his daughter, genuinely regarding her in his own demonically twisted way as something more than a mere object or tool. Trigon actively wants the two of them to be together, believing they're destined as kin to be united this way - he notably displayed this attitude when he took Raven away to his dimension after destroying Azarath, and when they first met again following her departure from his dimension. Most notably, Trigon himself never threatens or even physically harm Raven herself even when irate at her, instead threatening grievous harm, death and endless torture on her loved ones and threatening to make her watch it all. Trigon likewise isn't at all above inflicting emotional and psychological harm to Raven to beat down her attempts to thwart him. In these respects, Trigon was as insensitive to his daughter's feelings as to anyone else. He expresses disgust at what Raven has become since joining the Teen Titans, thinking it's made her weak and lonely and deeming her "align[ment] with chattel" to be beneath his contempt, and he apparently wants her to become something else he considers more worthy of his daughter. The only real time Trigon was observed giving Raven a sincere compliment or comfort was when he thanked her and bade her be well for providing him a fight with Darkseid as a "gift".
