Balthazar Black

## Summary

**Balthazar Black** is the main protagonist of *DEMIGODS*. He was created during the reign of Saint Matthew by Haldir the Ruinous in an attempt to create the perfect mindless soldier. However, after the realisation that the Draconians were sentient, Haldir left him in suspended animation until he was needed some thousands of years later. He has since gained the intelligence of Mordenkainen and the fighting ability to outclass some of the greatest warriors in the multiverse.
