Meanwhile, FBI agent John Myers is transferred to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense at Broom’s request and assigned to assist the adult Hellboy and an amphibious psychic humanoid named Abraham “Abe” Sapien before the BPRD are sent to investigate an incident at a museum, where Hellboy battles a creature called Samael. After defeating it, Hellboy visits former BPRD member Liz Sherman at a mental hospital, which she committed herself to due to her unstable pyrokinetic abilities. Concurrently, Abe learns that Samael was resurrected by Rasputin, who imbued it with the power to lay eggs that allow it to reincarnate and split its essence every time it dies.
