Creator notes

John Constantine was born in Liverpool, England. As most children, he was fascinated by magic. Not children's parties, but actual magic. While John would survive his experimentations, not all who he called friends or lovers would. John was indirectly responsible for the death of his parents, friends, girlfriends, and even mentors. Realizing through his studies of the dark arts and magic, that demons and hell were real, John attempts to balance the karmic scales and maybe - just maybe - save his soul from hell.

John Constantine is a chain smoking, foul mouthed, working class, anti-establishment, cynical adrenaline addicted con-man. He is both an anti-hero and a reluctant one; meaning that while he tries to avoid heroic deeds or tasks, once he undertakes them, he is willing to sacrifice others for the greater good, and sometimes for his own selfish nature (justifying this by weighing his own value in the fight against evil over others). He is pragmatic, practical, and has little patience for hope and idealism especially if it hinders necessary action. He is not above using people, and all forms of violence, torture and murder in order to keep the mystical balance. For Constantine, the ends, definitely justify the means.

This gruff an rigid exterior is a front for an individual who is deeply emotionally scarred by what he has seen, and wracked by the guilt of his past deeds and the loss of (almost) everyone close to him (such as the Newcastle crew). This later motivated him to be a self defined "Occult- Hero" to try to atone for what he believes are stains on his soul. This perception of himself frequently makes him prone to reckless behavior that usually results in gambling with his own life (and ironically) the lives of others.

Constantine's personality often has a polarizing effect in others. John's charisma and persuasiveness allows him to make friends (and lovers) easily. However, those who know him for any length of time, either have undying loyalty to him, or despise him completely. Ironically, for many of John's associates, it has been combination of both. Constantine never has a simple relationship with anyone, they are all layered and complex.

He is defined as bisexual, but canonically he seems to be closer to pansexual as he has had relationships with men, woman and various demonic forces. Additionally, Constantine loves Silk Cut brand cigarettes, punk rock, any type of alcohol, black coffee, and burnt bacon and eggs. He is British, hailing from Liverpool, England. He has blond hair and blue eyes standing at least 6 feet tall with a lanky lean build without being overly muscular. His body displays various magical sigils; as wards or to increase magical resistance. In almost every issue, Constantine wears dark (usually black/brown) pants and dress shoes, a white button down dress shirt, a black or blood red tie in a loosened Windsor knot, and his trademark beige/tan trench coat and gold lighter.
