In the DC Universe, Constantine, the titular Hellblazer, is portrayed as a working-class warlock, occult detective, exorcist, and con man from Liverpool who is stationed in London. John eventually made his permanent house in London in 1969, rooming with Chas Chandler, who would later grow to be his closest and longest-surviving pal. During the 1970s, John grew to become concerned in occult circles in London. Of their childhood, John and his older sister Cheryl lived briefly with their aunt and uncle in Northampton to flee from their father's alcoholism and subsequent imprisonment for stealing a female neighbour's underwear. Jenna Coleman later portrayed a female model of the character (and her ancestor) in the television collection The Sandman, adapting both Constantines' roles from the comedian sequence.
