## Physical Description

### Kate Corrigan: 1966 - 1983

Kate Corrigan was born in St. Roch, Louisiana in 1966. Kate was born innocent and completely unaware of the strange circumstances of her birth. Unaware that her father was the host of a disembodied angel, Kate had a fairly typical childhood. Though Kate was anything but average. Possessed of a remarkable intelligence, Kate completed her BA with honors at Opal University in 1983, at the age of 17.

Before working on her PhD at Ivy University, Kate secured a grant to travel to Europe for the summer as part of an anthropology study. Kate spent her time there recording the oral traditions of the villages she visited, which she compiled in her journal. It was during this time that Kate began to suspect she was different than her peers, feeling a strange sensation at some places mentioned in the folklore.

When Kate found herself at these places, she encountered sigils among the ruins. As she studied them, her head began to throb and her eyes felt strained. Kate's thirst for knowledge saw her though the pain and eventually she broke through whatever esoteric resistance there was shielding her from the truth. Once freed from mental blocks, Kate realized what she was staring at was Enochian — the language of angels.

Continuing through Europe, Kate found several sites with Enochian histories in plain sight, detailing the movements of ancient tribes of renegade angels and the tales of prophets and inquisitors not mentioned in traditional scripture. As she kept at it, Kate found scripts written in the same language but penned by demons.

In a Nazi bunker in Germany, once used by the Thule Society, Kate found a much more contemporary account detailing the plans to summon the spawn of a fallen prince to bring about the end of the world. Curious, Kate pursued this lead and drew the attention of hidden players in the shadows — both good and bad.

Luckily, Kate was found by Trevor Bruttenholm — but not before Azazel's followers did. Having watched the young scholar and used her as bait, Azazel's subjects tried to take Bruttenholm hostage. However, they were thwarted by the arrival of Hellboy, who had been shadowing his adopted father Bruttenholm due to an interest in the young woman who had information on his origin. Once she saw the cambion and his right hand, Kate recognized Hellboy as the figure mentioned in her research and she was rightfully scared — but a long conversation with the father and son duo convinced Kate that they were on the side of angels.

### Kate Corrigan: 1983 - 1989

Kate began her career with the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense as an independent consultant. She would train as an occult analyst under Professor Bruttenholm during her summer breaks. It was Kate's part-time presence that allowed Hellboy and her to develop a close friendship as he would talk to her about things he did not feel he could express to those he saw everyday.

After attaining her first doctorate, Kate became an actual agent of the BPRD. Though she now had a constant presence around Hellboy, he continued to use her as his unofficial therapist and their friendship grew, with the two viewing one another as brother and sister.

### Kate Corrigan: 1989 - Present

With the disappearance of Professor Bruttenholm, Kate was promoted to be the in-house lore expert and the assistant director of the BPRD — something Kate felt completely unprepared for, but as she began to do the job, Kate realized that her holding the position was what was keeping Hellboy from abandoning the BPRD.

Kate did well at her job, befriending the BPRD's many different personalities and becoming the only member who was universally liked by everyone in the ranks. Kate did not mind being the glued that held her strange family together. She is closest with her gal pal Liz Sherman and Johann Kraus.

Speaking of Mr. Kraus, Kate has been trying to develop a romantic relationship with Johann since the early 90's but the snail-pace of it has caused Kate to lose interest several times. However, with the recent passing of her father giving her a fear of mortality, Kate has been eager to cut the break lines on her lovelife.
