[B]Potential ongoing character stories[/B]
After learning about the upcoming Knights of Hagan series (and the short story in the recent Hellboy Christmas Special 2019), I decided to have a little read of more recent stories. There’s a wealth of characters we could see more of. I thought I’d list some below*. And these are just the characters from recent stories, lots more.
* Apologies in advance to Mark if you have covered these in your Hellnotes, I’ve not had chance to re-read everything.

Unclear if this was her first case or assignment with Hellboy.

Has worked with Hellboy before. I believe we haven’t seen that story yet (I did ask the CBR community here - [url]https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?124485-Hellboy-and-the-B-P-R-D-Saturn-Returns[/url]).

[B]Yad Tovich[/B]
Used to drink with Edward Grey before the Ripper case and the fall-out with Queen Victoria. Mid-seventeenth century - His father (Igor) was a hunter, mauled by a wolf. To save himself he signed a contract with the Devil, condemning his wife and daughter (Sasha) who were then eaten by wolves and sent to Hell. The son escaped and refused to die – hunting werewolves.

[QUOTE]Story – various Sir Edward Grey Witchfinder series[/QUOTE]
[B]Dai Jieh and Shengli[/B]
Teamed up against the Crimson Lotus in 1932. So much potential for these two characters, especially to learn more about the magic of Shengli.
[QUOTE]Story - Crimson Lotus (July 2019) - 1932[/QUOTE]

A Sarah Jewell series is a must. I think it would be great to see Simon Bruttenholm in his own story too. Dia and Shengli deserve another run.
I'd love more with the various clubs we are seeing - the Silver Lantern Club, the Eton Ghost Club, the British Paranormal Society, and the Foundry. I am sure I have missed out many others.
We are getting a Knights of Saint Hagan series. And I think we can safely say we haven't seen the end of Simon Anders.
I'll read more and possibly add to this post when I come across other characters who need more comic time.
