Vecna
The Whispered One
Vecna is the god of secrets, the undead and necromancy. He is usually depicted as a mummified, desiccated corpse missing his left hand and left eye. His many titles include the Arch-Lich, the Maimed God and the Whispered One.
Born a mortal wizard, he ascended to lichdom after assuming a mastery of the dark arts that no mortal had ever achieved, before or since. He is considered to be the most powerful wizard and lich to ever exist, as well as the most evil. At the height of his power, he was betrayed by his trusted lieutenant, the vampire Kas the Bloody-Handed, who destroyed Vecna's mortal body, leaving only his left hand and left eye behind. Sometime after the battle, Vecna rose to godhood by smiting Ioun and breaking off a piece of her Divine Mantle. He is opposed by most of the gods. While he was once mortal like the Raven Queen, the rest of the gods have ultimately approved of her ascension and desire to destroy Vecna in retribution for his actions.
