Centuries ago, a truce ended the war between humanity and the mythical creatures of the Earth, brokered by the creation of an unstoppable mechanical Golden Army. Prince Nuada of the elven underworld, disgusted by humanity’s encroaching industrialization and destruction of nature, awakens from his exile to reclaim the three pieces of a crown that controls this ancient legion. His motivation is a radical, genocidal crusade to wipe out mankind and restore the supremacy of magical beings. His twin sister, Princess Nuala, escapes with the final piece, seeking refuge with the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.).Hellboy, struggling with his public identity and his volatile relationship with Liz Sherman, finds himself at odds with the Bureau’s new supervisor, the ectoplasmic medium Johann Krauss. When Nuada attacks a troll market to retrieve his sister’s piece, the B.P.R.D. intervenes. During the chaos, Hellboy fights a lethal Elemental, ultimately destroying it but causing massive collateral damage that exposes the existence of the supernatural to the public. As tensions rise, Nuada manages to kidnap Nuala, using their psychic link to track her location.The team tracks the Prince to the subterranean lair of the Golden Army in Northern Ireland. There, Nuada challenges Hellboy, revealing that the Prince’s victory would lead to the extinction of the very magical creatures he claims to protect. During the duel, Hellboy is mortally wounded by Nuada’s spear. To save him, Nuala commits suicide, knowing her death will simultaneously kill her twin. With Nuada dead, the crown is rendered useless, and the Golden Army remains dormant.In the aftermath, the B.P.R.D. team is left fractured. Liz reveals she is pregnant with Hellboy’s twins, a revelation that forces Hellboy to confront his own monstrous nature and his desire for a normal life. Realizing that the Bureau will never truly accept them and that the world is becoming increasingly hostile, the core team—Hellboy, Liz, and Abe Sapien—collectively decide to resign. They retreat into the shadows, leaving behind their roles as government agents to forge an uncertain, independent future together, forever burdened by their origins but bound by their shared humanity.
