I choose death...I can destroy your kingdom, Bane, by murdering your subjects, and I can starve your kingdom, Myrkul, by staying my hand.

Description

He has three avatar forms: Slayer, the Ravager, and Kazgoroth. The Slayer is the one he chose in urban areas; a male, humanoid corpse with a feral face and ivory skin inset with deep lacerations that flowed with black ichor. The Ravager is a 30 feet tall monster with a twisted, grimacing face with a flowing beard and mane, 7 feet long horns and eyes full of the flames of Ghenna when visiting rural areas. Kazgoroth is simply a shape-shifting monstrosity.

Personality

He lived to hunt and kill, the presence of the living instilling in him an overpowering desire for death and destruction. At all times he is a cruel, violent and hateful being ranging from cold to a savage thirst for blood.

Worshipers

His clergy are a disorderly network of local hierarchies, with both urban and rural branches maintaining distant relations from one another. To them murder is both a duty and a game for their enjoyment. Clerics are expected to perform at least one murder every tenday, in the darkest moment in the dead of night.
