Daimon and his sister, Satana, were trained by their father in the art of magic, tapping into the power granted them by their dark heritage. However, while Satana embraced her heritage, Daimon clung to his humanity. When their mother discovered who her husband really was, she was driven mad. Daimon and Satana were separated and put in different homes after his mother was institutionalized and his father vanished back to Hell. Daimon grew up in an orphanage, never hearing a word from his father or sister. He became a professor of anthropology at a prestigious university.

It has since been established that Hellstorm was deliberately lying to Patsy when he made these claims; his love for Patsy led him to push her away in hopes that she would be happier without him.

He wears a "costume" that is a mix of punk rock and goth elements, including dark facial make-up, bright pink hair, and multiple piercings. It was revealed in The Ultimates Annual #1 that this Son of Satan is actually a spy (ala COINTELPRO) for S.H.I.E.L.D., presumably to keep an eye on both Giant Man and the wanna-be heroes.
