History: (Demon III #51 (fb)) - Lady Smegma once dated the demonic gang leader Rectomm, but left him for hi rival Etrigan. Years after they last saw each other Rectomm met his old gang and fabricated a story about ripping off Etrigan' head and shoving it up his rear for daring to disrespect him. He then broke out in a musical number about when he fell in love with Lady Smegma. Etrigan was nearby, and after hearing him, put a lie to his stories, ripping Rectomm's gang to ribbon and decapitating Rectomm after ripping off his switchblade arm. Smegma saw his "heroics" and fell for him all over again. They made love and he impregnating her in the Sunless Sea from which the Shadow Creature once rose from Hell. His power still resided in the water, and filled the couple's seed and egg, guaranteeing their offspring would be born with immense power.
(Demon III #43) - Etrigan threw a hottub party in the firepits of Hell to celebrate his new job as hitman of Hell with his friends Morax, Baytor, Lord Kakk, Bloodklott and Poppinjay, promising to use his newfound clout to kill any of their enemies. Etrigan hooked up with his ex Lady Smegma, and she was pleased to announce that she was pregnant. Etrigan was overjoyed, telling her they'd use their child to utterly destroy his human host Jason Blood.
(Demon III #49) - Etrigan entrusted Lady Smegma's care during pregnancy to Baytor. Baytor's underlings contacted Etrigan when she was ready to give birth, and as Baytor stood screaming out a window at the plains of Hell one of his men wondered what nightmares tormented his soul. Etrigan replied that he was just completely mental. Lady Smega gave birth, although the strain killed her. Etrigan couldn't care less, and held up his monstrous newborn Golgotha, who Etrigan looked forward to unleashing on Earth.
