Trigon is Raven's demonic father from another dimension. He represents the dark side of Raven, which she is able to keep in check through meditation. Trigon's evil is something that can manifest if Raven isn't careful.

Trigon awakened Slade from his molten tomb and embued him with mystical powers. Slade - now Trigon's footsoldier - helped the demon fulfill an old prophesy. Upon Raven's birthday, Trigon began to set plans into motion to bring about the end of earth as we know it. Flesh will become stone. Skies will burn red. And it seemed there was nothing Raven could do to stop it.

Indeed, Raven did bring Trigon to earth - and he transformed the planet into a frightening wasteland. The prophesy was fulfilled. And Raven was changed into a helpless child. But Raven learned - with the help of the Titans - that there is always hope. Raven tapped into her own eldritch energies to age herself and use Trigon's own 'power' against him. In a flash of white, Raven was able to cleanse the earth of Trigon's evil. This marked the end of an old prophesy - and a new beginning for Raven.

Producer/Story Editor David Slack on using Trigon: "It is a tricky issue. We had a good template laid out by Marv and George in the comics. Obviously, they went a little farther than we are willing or able to. But there was an example there - how to tell the story you want to tell, but still be delicate about it. My main concern with using Trigon in NEVERMORE, was that we couldn't save him for a big reveal later on. [laughs]. So we showed Trigon without actually showing him [since NEVERMORE takes place in Raven's head]. I think if we ever bring him back, he'll be a lot scarier."

Trigon is Raven's demonic father from another dimension. Her mother is an earth woman known as Arella. Raven always fights her dark side from being released and consuming her. Trigon appears in New Teen Titans [first series] #1-6 and New Teen Titans [second series] #1-5 [1984].
