Al Simmons, a CIA agent, was murdered by his employer, Jason Wynn, after witnessing his boss' "indiscretions." Simmons was then sent to hell, where in a desperate attempt to see his wife one last time, he made a deal with the demon Malebolgia, and unwittingly, became a "Hellspawn," a General in Hell's Army.
