## History

### Early Life

Having been born in Liverpool in a working class family, John was already seen as a kid who’d end up where he began, in a poor family with barely a penny to show for the hard work the man of the house put in. John Constantine was a bright and curious child, but he was also a troublemaker. He was always getting into fights with other kids in the neighborhood and was often in trouble with the police. Despite his rebellious nature, he had a strong sense of justice and would often stand up to bullies and defend the weak.

When John was ten years old, tragedy struck his family. His mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and his father was killed in a mining accident. The loss of his father was devastating for John, but it was the loss of his mother that would have the most profound impact on him. She was his rock, his confidant, and his best friend. Her death left him feeling alone and abandoned, with no one to turn to for comfort or guidance.

After his mother's death, John was sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Northamptonshire. They were strict and conservative, and John struggled to fit in with their way of life. He was sent to a boarding school, where he was bullied and ostracized by the other students. He quickly learned to rely on his wits and his fighting skills to survive.

### Discovering the Occult

It was during this time that John discovered his true calling. He had always been fascinated by the supernatural and the occult, and he began to study it in earnest. He devoured books on magic, witchcraft, and demonology, and he began to practice spells and incantations on his own. He soon discovered that he had a natural talent for the dark arts, and he began to use his powers to manipulate and control those around him.

By the time he was a teenager, John had become a master of the occult. He was able to summon demons, control the elements, and cast spells with ease. He used his powers to get what he wanted, whether it was money, sex, or revenge. He became feared and respected…well despised would be a more accurate assessment, a known figure in the world of magic, and he gained a reputation as a powerful and dangerous sorcerer.

Despite his success in the occult world, John was haunted by his past. He was still mourning the loss of his mother, and he was struggling to come to terms with his own identity. He was a loner and an outsider, and he felt that he had no place in the world aside from his usual seat in the bar.

### Becoming an Exorcist PI

It was at this point that John discovered a new purpose, a new opportunity so to speak. He realized that he could use his powers to help others, to protect them from the supernatural threats that lurked in the shadows…and most importantly make a quick buck. Officially he became a private paranormal investigator, though the whole formality of that title didn’t sit right with him, yet the technicalities weren’t all that important, he was still traveling the world, drinking and battling the forces of darkness. He fought demons, ghosts, and other supernatural beings, using his magic and his wits to save innocent lives all for the affordable price of 99,99 pounds an hour…kidding…sort of.
