In Christmas of 1955, a young Hellboy is told a bedtime story by his father, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (Hurt), involving an ancient battle between humans and mythical creatures. A goblin blacksmith built an unstoppable clockworkarmy for Balor, the King of the Elves, which could only be controlledby those of royal blood, provided no one challenged their right to doso. This 'Golden Army' of 4900 soldiers or "70 times 70 soldiers",devastated the humans so mercilessly that Balor forged a truce withthem to stop the bloodshed: man would keep his cities and the creatureswould keep their forests. Balor's son, Prince Nuada, didn't agree withthe truce, and left in exile. The crown controlling the army was brokeninto three pieces, one piece going to the humans and the other two keptby the elves, so the Golden Army could never be raised again.
