The angel of death needs no words to convince you not to meddle with the affairs of the deceased. His mere words are enough to kill a thousand beasts. His tranquil air hides the fact he is death personified.

- Unknown

Thanatos is one of the five Revenant Gravekeepers of the Underworld and the messenger of Mortium and Sepulchrus, acting as their mouth and tongue in the mortal world in order to interact with Koldenwelt's races and sometimes other Simulacrum realms. One of the highest authorities of the realm of the dead, the angelic Thanatos ensures his masters' schemes are going smoothly, taking a more reasonable approach than his more aggressive companion Choronzon.

History[]

Mythology of worshippers of the Simulacrum of Death claim Thanatos was the second of the original Revenant Gravekeepers to be created by Mortium, created to be a messenger and diplomat in the living world for the two Simulacra. Due to his massive role in the world, he had little involvement in its ancient wars and spent most of his time in the area of the Underworld known as the Radiant Heaven, administering the souls left there. To this day, Thanatos remains as the local overseer of the area, though worshippers of Mortium in the modern age have learned how to contact him, often through shamanic rituals.

Characteristics[]

Appearance[]

Thanatos is often seen taking the appearance of an angel-like figure who somewhat resembles a Hikamera Elf in physiology, but sporting large feathered wings on his back. His skin, feathers, eyes and hair all have the same white colouration, causing him to have a seemingly homogeneous appearance and looking like little more than a silhouette should he be engulfed in light.

Personality[]

Thanatos is described as being the most soft-spoken of the Revenant Gravekeepers, being nowhere as aggressive as Choronzon or Kerberos but not quite as conformist as Charon or D'arcy. Serving as Mortium's messenger, Thanatos is described as being a diplomat of the Underworld, and at the same a spy due to using his sweet tongue to take out any information he may need from any being. Despite his seemingly passive demeanor, those who speak to Thanatos become increasingly uncomfortable and eventually paranoid, believing death is staring right at them through him.

Abilities[]

As a Revenant Gravekeeper, Thanatos is one of the most powerful beings in the Underworld. All but the strongest magic blows deal little damage to him despite his unarmored form, and mortal weaponry appears to downright no work unless enchanted or made of cold iron. Thanatos has been described as being able to "stare mortals to death", glaring at their eyes and seemingly being able to rip their souls out in a matter of moments. However, due to his role as a messenger, Thanatos rarely if ever engages in combat.
