As far as I know, I'm already dead. Which means, I'm waiting for your sorry ass in the afterlife.

History
Albert Simmons was once the CIA's greatest assassin, and he proved time and time again that he was the best of the best. However, Al's morality got the better of him, becoming too questioning of his superiors' motives and beginning to uncover some of their darkest secrets. Because he knew too much, Al was killed during a mission and was sent to Hell for his life as a killer. He then met the demon Malebolgia, who made a deal with him: if Al agreed to become captain of Hell's army, he would be reborn to see his wife again. He agreed and was reborn as a Hellspawn. Awakening five years later, Al discovered that his wife had moved on, marrying his best friend and having a daughter. It was apparent that the demon tricked him, and Al was left with a fate far worse than death. Distraught, Al saw nothing else left in his life except his new powers and swore revenge. He then took the name "Spawn", a dark agent fighting against the corrupt sides of Earth, Heaven, and Hell.
