    I recently started re-reading through Etrigan's history and I discovered that he is the son of Belial; however, in post-flashpoint continuity Belial is the son of Trigon.

    Wouldn't that make Etrigan his grandson.

    I think Balial was Trigon's son in pre-Flashpoint continuity as well. But in regards to your question, yes, I suppose it does. And that is WEIRD.

    @arturocalakayvee: It also raises a few more questions. If he is still Belial's son, then who is his mother? Why is he in hell serving Lucifer, and not with his father or grandfather. If he is aware of Trigons existence (evident in the picture) is he aware of the possible relation?

    @warlordeternal: Pre 52, Etrigan was the son of Belial and Ran va Daath, who was a serpentine spirit of deceit.

    Etrigan's family was never really given much focus. Though Merlin and Lord Scapegoat were his younger brothers.

    Well, if it wasn't clear beforehand, it is with the Hell is Earth mini series where Ruskoff and Suge are described by Etrigan as his uncles.

    The odd thing though is that the only ones who dont see the family connection, yet, is Raven and Trigon. Not that I imagine Trigon cares about Etrigan, but Raven's now run into him atleast twice and it's not been mentioned.

    In New 52, yeah. But in Post-Crisis, and now in Rebirth, it seems they're no longer family.
