History[]
Great Uncle Baal is a character from the 2000 AD strip Nemesis the Warlock and part of the Millsverse. As his name suggests, he is Nemesis' great uncle. He is also a batty old coot who likes animating human skeletons to make them perform a 'Danse Macabre'. Although he is cross with Nemesis for poaching his familiar, Grobbendonk, that didn't stop him from gatecrashing Nemesis and his wife Chira's hatching party, when they welcomed the arrival of their son Thoth, and getting all the guests drunk on hemlock punch. Chira was furious, so Nemesis promised to have his great uncle "put away in some quiet, distant corner of the universe."
Baal, who shares his name with a Middle Eastern god mentioned in the Old Testament, leaves a "smell of decay and utter wickedness" wherever he goes.
