King Vold

King Vold is a beheaded flying huntsman that haunts the wilds of Norway.

History

According to legend he used to say, "God can keep Heaven for himself long as I go hunting in Gurre,". With that he was condemned to hunt every night, all the way from Orsta to Gurre, riding through the air with his hounds. King Vold is known to appear to those who are interesting.

In 1956, Hellboy is asked by Trevor Bruttenholm to assist Prof. Edmond Aickman in Norway. Hellboy agrees and travels to Norway. Aickman tells Hellboy a number of Norwegian folktales. Hellboy asks what they are doing there. Aickman says that they are waiting for King Vold, doomed to hunt every night.

King Vold appears and asks Aickman to watch over one of his wolves for the night. The wolf becomes a wolf-man and then a viking berserker. The creature attacks Hellboy reducing him to a bloody mess. King Vold returns from the hunt to reclaim his wolf, having finally caught a mermaid which he had been hunting for seven years. He sees Hellboy beaten on the ground, Aickman claims him to be his servant, King Vold remarks, "Shame, he looks like sterner stuff” and provides Aickman with his gold. The gold coin burns through Aickman’s hand and before transforming into worthless pebbles. King Vold rides off into the night, bidding farewell to Hellboy, who he refers to as “Anung un Rama”.

The Fury

King Vold, alongside his wolves arrived at Vigrid in order to battle the forces of the Ogdru Jahad. He likely perished alongside all others.
