Llan

Real Name: Llan

First Appearance: Alpha Flight #71

Major Enemies: Alpha Flight

 

Llan is an ancient source of mystic evil which is apparently bent on the corruption of humanity. He appears every ten thousand years, and each time is faced by the bearer of the Talisman. Each encounter is done under some form of rules. In his most recent try, Llan took the form of a super-villain, since it seemed appropriate to the time. He then proceeded to trick Talisman into striking at him first, which freed him to act as he pleased. Llan then trapped Alpha Flight in a series of back-water dimensions for three months of real-world time while he made and implemented his plans, which was to open the Gateway Of Night and unleash a horde of demons on the world. Talisman eventually succeeded in defeating Llan by opening the counterpart to the Gateway Of Night - the Gateway Of Day. Apparently according to the rules of engagement, the two opposing armies cancelled each other out if they exist on the same plane simultaneously. With Llan's defeat everything returned to normal, and Llan will not be seen again for another 10,000 years.
