The **Doom Slayer**, originally known as **Doomguy**, is a futuristic marine that is never specifically referred to by name. He is one of the Earth's toughest and mightiest warriors who single-handedly fights against the armies of Hell.

## Overview

He is the most feared entity to all of Hell, even the Devil, the Dark Lord, along with the Archdemons, Princes, Kings and Generals are terrified of him because of his unending crusade against the slaves of the Doomed, bent on their annihilation. Even Ayin, the creator of Hell, is fearful of his rage. His crusade has sent him to numerous dimensions, worlds and universes, and many know his name, with even Angels and Gods being weary of him. In addition, he is the only being who is respected by the Arcuthas, due to their shared hatred towards Hell, having even fought alongside their leader Calur once.

After his third battle with the Legions of Hell, he entered Hell and closed the gateway to the that universe in hopes that his Earth will be saved, at the cost of the Doom Slayer having to fight demons for eternity. Countless centuries later, and through enormous levels of training and battle, he has grown much stronger to the point where even the strongest demons in existence fear him as "The Doom Slayer". Where he yet again fights to save another Post-Apocalyptic world.

## Powers and Abilities

Though it is only told by demonic recordings, the Doom Slayer had managed to kill Hell's Champion 'the Titan', indicating how he became the most feared being to all of Hell's Legions.

## History

### Origins

Once a normal human man who was a marine for the UAC security, it is said that he was descended from William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz who fought in both World Wars and took out the Nazi Regime.

### First Battle

Doomguy has been incarcerated on Mars after assaulting a senior officer when ordered to fire upon civilians. There, he works alongside the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), a multi-planetary conglomerate and military contractor performing secret experiments on interdimensional travel. Recently, the teleportation has shown signs of anomalies and instability, but the research continues nonetheless.

Suddenly, something goes wrong and creatures from Hell swarm out of the teleportation gates on Deimos and Phobos. A defensive response from base security fails to halt the invasion, and the bases are quickly overrun by monsters; all personnel are killed or turned into zombies.

Stationed on Phobos, he found himself force to fight off against demons on the moon, followed by Deimos and even in Hell itself.

### Hell on Earth

Eventually he managed to return to Earth, only to find the demons invading the planet, millions dead, including his pet rabbit Daisy. Losing the last source of happiness in his life, the marine swore vengeance against all of Hell, eventually pushing the demons back and defeating Baphomet, the leader of the invasion force.

Following this, and possibly other outbreaks he was part of, he was decommissioned. Some years later, he was called upon again to return to Phobos through a planetary space station when a powerful demon, known as the Mother Demon, began raising an army to re-invade. After defeating it, the marine decided to remain in hell, determined to ensure that the demons can never return and threaten his Earth. Some time later, the Mother's sister, Resurrector, appeared to take revenge she teleported him back to Earth to try and kill him. But he fought his way back to Hell again, chased the sister down, and defeated her. Again he chose to remain in hell.

### Argenta

Eventually the marine was found by the humanoid alien race known as the Argentas and their godly allies the Maykrs, and while initially seen as an outsider, the Slayer earned the respect of the Night Sentinels to be eventually counted among them.

When the demons invaded Argent D'Nur, the Slayer was at the front-lines, slaughtering all demons in his path. Seeing his indomitable will, Samur Maykr, Seraphim and Chancellor of the Khan Maykr, bestowed the power of Argent Energy through the Maykrs' Divinity Machine onto the Slayer, combining Eldritch, Divine and Demonic energies.

This in turn granted him immense strength and speed as well as being unable to age and take the power of those he kills, making him more than a man, close to a god, a unique being never seen before. Armed with this new power and the first Crucible Weapon, along with the Praetor Suit that had been modified with powerful runes by the demon known as the Wretch, the Doom Slayer slew the demonic Titan that threatened the city of Taras Nabad, beginning his legend as the Slayer.

### Unholy War

Since then, the Doom Slayer led the Night Sentinels against the demons in what was known as the Unholy War. They made several incursions into Hell and gained numerous victories. In one said battle, the Slayer faced against Diablo, severely wounding the Great Evil and installing fear into the Lord of Terror for the first time.

But eventually, the Night Sentinels had discovered that the Maykrs, their supposed Gods, had made a secret pact with the Dark Lord, Davoth, to siphon souls with Wraith Magic to create Argent Energy to preserve themselves and their world, Urdak, what the Sentinels had originally called 'Elixir'. Even when this was revealed, the people of Argent were too enthralled by the powers of Argent Energy. This led to a Civil War, with the loyalists under the Sentinel Royalty using the power of the Elemental Wraiths to fight back against their traitor brothers and the demons. With the Doom Slayer beside them, they were invincible.

### Betrayal

However, they eventually lost due to betrayal. One of their own, Commander Valen who had trained the Slayer in the Night Sentinels' art of war, lead the treacherous Deag Grav, once a holy man and now a Hell Priest, towards the Sepulcher of Elements, where the Elemental Wraiths resided for the return of his dead son. From there, Grav absorbed their power and soul into a demonic crucible, taking away the loyalists' advantage.

In return, Grav brought back Valen's fallen son as the new Icon of Sin. In addition, the other two Deags, Ranak and Nilox, tricked King Novik into sending the Slayer and their strongest warriors into Hell to destroy the Soul Chamber at Nekravol, before trapping these warriors in Hell. All except the Doom Slayer met their end, but not before slaughtering many demons in the process. Argent D'Nur and the surviving populace then fell under the oppressive rule of the Maykrs, who continued to allow Hell to invade other worlds in return for Argent Energy to keep their world and themselves thriving. The Doom Slayer, now back in hell, continued his one-man crusade against the demons, but now mistrusting of those who are deemed holy too.

### Aftermath

Since then, the Doom Slayer has been to numerous universes, fighting demons, protecting worlds and even facing against other threats. Some threats include the machinations of the Old Ones in their bid to break free from their prison, while others were Evil Gods such as Ahriman and Ah Puch. During his time in Hell after the fall of Argent D'Nur, he met the demon Sparda. The two fought heavily for days, their fight so fierce that any demon that sought to approach was killed instantly. At the end, Sparda had been won over by the Slayer's desire to destroy Hell and eventually crafted him a mighty armor, the Praetor Suit, to wield. The Slayer's influence would soon lead Sparda to rebel against his kind, earning him the derogatory name "The Wretch".

All encounters with the Slayer left a deep impact on those who meet him, whether they be friend, foe, or even just bystander. Some were left in awe, horror or fear of this indomitable demigod and his prowess. Some had even tried to use him as a pawn for their own personal gain, only to be crushed by the Slayer. This led many to realize that the Slayer was not someone who could be controlled, comparing him to a natural disaster. His movements are always watched by the angel Remph, who assisted by helping the Slayer move to the various multiverse whenever a world was in danger by the demons.

The Angel of Death Azrael, who was responsible for guiding the souls of the deceased, is revealed to have been the unknown contractor with Samur Maykr and also bestowed the power of death and destruction onto the Slayer. His reasons being twofold: the Doom Slayer would slay the demons and free the imprison innocent souls, allowing them to ascend to Heaven. The second reason is because Azrael prophesies that the Doom Slayer will play a major part in the Final Conflict. Thus, if he does, he will finally purge Hell, allowing the new Creation to be free of sin.

## Quotes

* *"You mustn’t stand against the man who’s rage rivals the bright rays of the sun. His wrath boiled from the hate and pain he felt when all his comrades were picked apart by the demons he sought to make suffer, he wanted them to pay. His rage, pain, hate, malice, it’s all put together to create a man...no, he’s no man anymore. He’s become the incarnation of despair. He is Death in the form of a super soldier."*

* *"No Black. I have seen monsters before. I have seen ones older than the oldest of nations, ones so powerful that they can destroy worlds with a lift of their fingers, ones so vile and disgusting that not even God's benevolent can ever possibly save them. And that man, that monster, was infinitely* worse *than all of them combined..."* - Matt Wright.

* *"Who do you suppose left all that radioactive waste down there? And why? Why? Now I'm radioactive! That can't be good! Why can't we find a way to safely dispose of radioactive waste and protect the environment? Even if I personally stop this alien invasion, what kind of planet will we be leaving to our children? And our children's children, and... oh the humanity: my big gun is out of bullets!"* - Doom Slayer.

* *"Finally... the mother of all demons is dead! The blood pours from your eyes as you stand in defiance. As the only marine to endure the slaughter- you decide to remain in Hell and ensure no demon ever rises again."* - Raziel.

* *"At this particular moment in time I don't believe I have a healthier or more deeply felt respect for any object in the universe than this here shotgun..."* - Doom Slayer.

* *"In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer."* - Slayer's Testament I, UAC REPORT FILE H8UM66S.

* *"Tempered by the fires of Hell, his iron will remained steadfast through the passage that preys upon the weak. For he alone was the Hell Walker, the Unchained Predator, who sought retribution in all quarters, dark and light, fire and ice, in the beginning and the end, and he hunted the slaves of Doom with barbarous cruelty; for he passed through the divide as none but demon had before."* - Slayer's Testament II, UAC REPORT FILE 9REIZDUR.

* *"And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the doomed, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the Seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of the Blood Temples. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the nine circles. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the Doom Slayer sought to end the dominion of the dark realm."* - Slayer's Testament III, UAC REPORT FILE HR93TE1F.

* *"The age of his reckoning was uncounted. The scribes carved his name deep in the tablets of Hell across eons, and each battle etched terror in the hearts of the demons.

For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting."* - Slayer's Testament IV, UAC REPORT FILE I3S5A9XB.

* *"None could stand before the horde but the Doom Slayer. Despair spread before him like a plague, striking fear into the shadow-dwellers, driving them to deeper and darker pits. But from the depths of the abyss rose The Great One, a champion mightier than all who had come before. The Titan, of immeasurable power and ferocity. He strode upon the plain and faced the Doom Slayer, and a mighty battle was fought on the desolate plains. The Titan fought with the fury of the countless that had fallen at the Doom Slayer's hand, but there fell the Titan, and in his defeat the shadow horde were routed."* - Slayer's Testament V, UAC REPORT FILE ZPHVM41A.

The wretch adorned the Doom Slayer in a mighty armor, wrought in the forges of Hell, impenetrable and unyielding. With sword and shield of adamantine strength, the Doom Slayer set to banishing all that were left unbroken by his savagery to the void."* - Slayer's Testament VI, UAC REPORT FILE WMHVVFJ.

* *"Yet as the mighty Titan fell and dread engulfed the armies of Doom, the demon priests of the Blood Temples laid a trap to capture this scourge of Hell. Insatiable, even by the vanquishing of the Great One, the Hell Walker sought prey in the tombs of the Blood Keep. And blinded by his fervor, the lure drew him in. The priests brought down the temple upon the Doom Slayer, and in his defeat entombed him in the cursed sarcophagus. The mark of the Doom Slayer was burned upon his crypt, a warning to all of Hell that the terror within must never be freed. There he lies still, and ever more, in silent suffering."* - Slayer's Testament VII, UAC REPORT FILE JSLR7ESL.

* *"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 002 - subject analysis of Doom Slayer. January 24th, 2163. There is no chance that the subject is a demon - we have blood samples pulled from Mars base event that show his blood type is AB positive. He is male with a genome that makes him very much a member of the human race, but the enhanced strength, speed and athleticism would indicate otherwise. But we can see from the blood samples that there are foreign bodies present of unknown origin. I cannot as a contributing member of the scientific community agree with the assumption by some of my colleagues that he is, for lack of a better word...a God. An avenging angel - the right hand of Doom here to save humanity from its sins. But... I cannot ignore that the timing of his arrival - the identity of his enemies - the fire and brimstone element to this catastrophe we currently find ourselves in has...it has definitely shaken my scientific resolve.."* - Dr. Elena Richardson Log I.

* *"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 005 - subject analysis of Doom Slayer. February 2nd, 2163. Maybe he is a God. Maybe he represents human kind's rage - their will to persevere, to overcome that which would threaten our survival. He is uncompromising, a relentless being of violence that knows no mention of the hesitation shown by our many leaders and politicians during our time of judgement. Can he overcome them? Alone? If he can't - we, as a species, ALL species, will not survive."* - Dr. Elena Richardson Log II.

* *"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 006. February 9th, 2163. The only thing they fear - is him. We watched as the horde overwhelmed the very best and most advanced machinery and weapons technology that we could muster against the opposition. It was useless, they moved too quickly, they cared not for themselves, only sought out the blood of humanity. They were willing to sacrifice their own to get to the heart of our world. We slaughtered thousands and millions more followed, but then he came - he cut through them like a sickle through a field - his fury surpassing their own. He is faster - more relentless. I believe him now to be more than just a man - he is...DOOM."* - Dr. Elena Richardson Log III.

* *"This is Dr. Elena Richardson, log entry 007. March 3rd, 2163. And with him lies our salvation. For as he gains in strength so do they fall in numbers. The Priests command the armies to the North and South, but he controls the fight. The inner circle of death is where he resides - hunting them at the far reaches of the earth and beyond. I am a believer now - I feel it is in DOOM that I have faith. The Slayer is the spear that stabs at the heart of our attackers, and those that would seek to harm us should feel warned - for there is only one dominant life form in this universe and it carries a steel barreled sword of vengeance. All hail the coming of the Destroyer - the Slayer's time is now."* - Dr. Elena Richardson Log IV.

* *"...and you will be their savior, your strength will be their shield and your will... their sword. You remain... unbroken... for your fight... is eternal."* - King Novik of Argent D'Nur.

* *"The demons...! They... are everywhere... Must... KILL THEM ALL"* - The Doom Slayer, warning Deag Grav of the forces of Hell.

* *"Tell me... have you nothing to say to your creator... before you strike him down?"* - Davoth's query.
	+ *"No."* - Doom Slayer's reply.
