Assuming you survive the trip to the Enigmar Rift and don't get killed by Choronzon before you even get there, Kerberos will be the main obstacle between you and the Underworld. The three-headed hellhound is tasked to not let anyone from the outside in, and at the same time, no one from the inside can go out. So even if you do get past him, chances are he is not going to let you leave.

- Unknown

Kerberos, also known as Cerberus, is one of the five Revenant Gravekeepers of the Underworld and most specifically serves as the guardian of its entrance located deep at the Enigmar Rift of Koldenwelt. The leader of the hellhounds who inhabit the Duskwoods, Kerberos ensures no soul enters the realm before they are meant to, and also ensure no soul tries to escape in the event they ever attempt to.

History[]

Mythology of worshippers of the Simulacrum of Death claim Kerberos was the first of the original Revenant Gravekeepers to be created by Mortium, being put under the role of gatekeeper of the realm in order to disallow the entrance of outsiders and the escape of reaped souls. Very few individuals in history have managed to get past Kerberos, and even less individuals managed to escape after doing so. Due to being created before mortality, the Revenant Gravekeeper developed a deep distaste for all immortals, and as such contributed very little in their war against the Void Denizens, though he is known to have destroyed any who attempted to cross the gates he guarded. In modern times, Kerberos also became involved with the Enigmarans and became idolized by their culture, something the three-headed hellhound would come to enjoy.

Characteristics[]

Appearance[]

Kerberos appears as a massive, three-headed, black-furred canine with a large serpentine tail. Myths say snakes pass through his three necks and give him a mane of serpents, though this is not confirmed. All of Kerberos' heads share the same consciousness and speak in unison, giving the Revenant a powerful and imposing voice. Kerberos is the largest and most massive of the Revenant Gravekeepers, easily outsizing all of his compatriots.

Personality[]

Kerberos is a fiercely territorial entity who dedicates his entire existence to keeping the gates of the Underworld safe from intruders, be them trying to enter or trying to escape. He shows little mercy for invaders, often burning them to a crisp before devouring their souls as punishment for their affront against him, and the same can be said about those who try to leave the Underworld after entering it. The only Koldenweltians who have obtained Kerberos' respect are the Enigmarans who currently aid in guarding his lair.

Abilities[]

As a Revenant Gravekeeper, Kerberos is one of the most powerful creatures of the Underworld. Other than power over dark magic, he is also known for being able to breath fire from all of his heads at once, implying some control of pyromancy. Kerberos is massive and strong enough to ward even the most armored foes away, and his teeth and claws are strong and sharp enough to bite through dragon scales as if they were nothing. Kerberos is also highly venomous, and his bite can cause flesh to rot in a matter of moments, slowly eating the victim away until they rot completely.
