The Keeper

"The Keeper guides those who put their own personal gain above all else. The Keeper helps the liar and the cheat. ... The Keeper is always searching for new treasures to add to his hoard… and these treasures can include souls, memories, and even more abstract things. While the gifts of the Traveler often have unexpected consequences, the goods of the Keeper are generally exactly what they appear to be: but the Keeper never makes a deal unless the price is in his favor. Whatever you get from the Keeper, you’ll have to give up something of even greater value."

The Sovereign of Death and Decay, The Keeper represents greed and gluttony, the inverse of his brother Kol Korran's focus on material wealth and generosity. He is seen as the hunger in the dark, grabbing hold of anyone straying too far from the light. He alone is able to waylay dead souls on their way to Dolurrh and it is said that once in the Keeper's clutches a soul may never escape. Because of his association with souls and the afterlife he has become almost the default deity of necromancers across Eberron.

The son of Onatar and Olladra and the brother of Kol Korran, the Keeper is often portrayed as gaunt or grossly fat human, a lich or ghoul, or sometimes a skeletal dragon.
