Myrkul

Lord of Bones, The Reaper, Lord of the Dead

Myrkul was the Faerûnian neutral evil quasi-deity of death: The Reaper who claimed life and forced transition to whatever came thereafter. He was previously the God of the Dead, and during his reign, he perfected instilling fear into all mortals at the mere mention or thought of mortality. He is very rarely worshiped but more often is dreaded and blamed for the natural difficulties of growing old and the cessation of life itself. Myrkul, along with Bhaal and Bane, was a member of The Dead Three, who were once mortal men but conspired to steal the godhood of Jergal, the original God of the Dead. Jergal willing gave up his Portfolio, splitting it between the three man, making them gods.
