Biography
Dans le film de 1976, Damien est né à Rome à 6 h du matin un 6 juin. Les circonstances de sa naissance (la sixième heure du sixième jour du sixième mois) font référence au nombre 666.Il est dit et plusieurs fois mentionné dans tous les films que son père était Satan et sa mère un chacal. Il aurait par ailleurs hérité de la structure cellulaire de cet animal.
Il meurt à la fin du troisième film, poignardé dans le dos avec l'une des dagues de Meggido, conçues pour tuer l'Antéchrist. Cependant, il déclare avant de mourir que le Christ « n'en a pas fini avec [lui] », ce qui est vrai puisque le quatrième film met en scène sa fille cachée, Délia, qui est elle aussi la réincarnation de l'Antéchrist.
Dans la série télévisée de 2016, Damien Thorn a presque oublié son passé. Aujourd'hui âgé de trente ans, il est devenu photographe de guerre. Témoin de macabres événements en Syrie, il voit ressurgir ses vieux démons. Il est peu à peu confronté à sa véritable destinée : il est l'Antéchrist.

As Morgan is unconvinced, Bugenhagen takes him to some local ruins to see the mural of Yigael's Wall, which was said to have been drawn by one who saw the Devil and had visions of the Antichrist as he would appear from birth to death.
