My friends and I are Hellboy enthusiasts, and of course, we're Planescape fans as well. We're interested in devising a way to use Big Red as an idea in an adventure...

Basically, Hellboy is a demon who, through various events, was raised to become a force for good, the World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator.

(if you're not familiar with the character and want to know more, look here: Hellboy)

Now, I was thinking about various ways that I could use Mike Mignola's idea, but in Planescape. I would like to hear what you guys would suggest, however, before I share my own.

The Iodru Hamach were beings older than Time, godlike entities of nigh-limitless power who sported and played in the chaos before the worlds and planes. When the Powers of Creation pieced together the multiverse with their Words of Power, the Iodru resisted, attempting to destroy them and their fledgling reality.

The Powers of Creation finally imprisoned them within a gate in the very center of their Creation, where even their own powers would work no further. They created a many-bladed guardian to prevent any gods from coming near the imprisoned Iodru. The only key to their gate was the red right hand of the Power who sacrificed itself to create the final sigil barring the Iodru from returning; this hand was lost.

Billions of years later, the red hand was found again, somehow appearing spontaneously on the young son of the Abyssal lord Graz'zt and a mortal witch.

Around this time, a group of Believers of the Source began delving into forbidden mysteries in an attempt to become as mighty as the gods. One of them, a spellcaster called Eli Tomorast, learned of some obscure references to a Hand of Power that could open a gate into a source of limitless glory. He had a demon hand grafted on his right arm, and he began to hear whispers instructing him in what he should do.

On the Material Plane, in a time of war and strife, Tomorast allied himself with brilliant but amoral wizards, and conducted a great summoning. An infant cambion appeared within his magic circle - one of its hands had six fingers, while the other was made of the same stonelike substance as Sigil, the City of Doors. At that moment, their ritual was interrupted by crusaders from an opposing nation. After the conspirators were killed or driven away, an aasimar scholar adopted the cambion, raising him as his own...
