Nimrod was one of the Ice Giants who resided in the circle of Treachery.

Overview[]

He rested in his icy prison alongside the other giants of old, Ephialtes and Antaeus. His icy breath will try to keep Dante with them for eternity.

Appearance[]

Nimrod is a rotted brown giant with a split tear in his stomach, one leg being a temple, a loin cloth made of screaming souls, both arms covered in small mountains like spike, four mouths with four red slugs for tongues, two yellow eyes, a torso decorated in ruined war zone city and a small medieval town fort as some sort of crown

Background[]

Nimrod was the great grandson of Noah and was a mighty king and nation builder who founded many cities including the great Tower of Babel. Despite his stance as a powerful leader, his reputation was tarnished by his traditional association with the construction of the Tower of Babel. Elohim saw this and said "Let us go down there and confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech". Realizing what he had done, Nimrod moved north to the lands of Scythia where he became the father of two sons, Hunor and Magyar. Nimrod created the recurve bow and arrow for his new people. Just before dying, Nimrod prophesied the coming of a great terror: Attila the Hun and the destruction of the Roman Empire.
