This is Thanatos, Narinder’s Witness and his right hand in his cult before getting imprisoned.
He is my OC and he exists in the world of my story “Death ‘s Promise".
I have published a one shot story on how Foreneus and Narinder met before his imprisonment, in this time Forneus got pregnant with Narinder’s children (she found out after she already left to go back to her life, Narinder will discover it only when Shamura brings to him the twins).
It’s not very long and it’s pretty quick, but I started to expand on it and I have a full story more detailed in my mind, I don’t know if it will be a full comic or a fanfiction for now.
Thanatos is a character invented for this story.
Thanatos lore:
He has been in the cult of Death for a very long time, not since the start of it but he took part to the Great War against the other (now dead) gods, as time went on he became Narinder Witness, becoming the second most important figure in the cult.
Narinder meets Forneus, Thanatos doesn’t care for her since it’s not uncommon for gods to have mortal companions (even if it’s rare for his Lord), he doesn’t notice when she left.
Then, only a few months after Forneus left, Narinder gets imprisoned because he managed to create a ritual to bring people back for the Beyond, a thing he has been working in secret on for centuries, since Shamura introduced him to the idea of change.
The other gods of the Old Faith make the Faith of Death taboo and every memeber of the cult has to covert to another Faith, oblivious this is not an option for the members of the higher circle, to faithfully to Death.
Many dies, but Thanatos manages to escape even if injured, leaving Death’s Domain and going far thanks to a teleportation stone.
He hides deep in the woods, unfortunately he is loosing to much blood and, since Narinder has been locked away, he has been quickly loosing his powers and this means he will not survive this injury if he doesn’t get help now.
Thanatos is not afraid to die, he welcomes the Beyond with joy but he is saved by Forneus, who heals him after finding him.
When Thanatos wakes up, he is surprised to see Forneus and he immediately feels that there is something divine coming off of her, something she didn’t have months ago, he doesn’t take long to realize that she is pregnant with Narinder’s child, Forneus already knows.
He tells her everything and he decides to accompany her, to help her and protect her as his sworn duty to his Lord.
Time will pass, the twins will be born and be named Aym and Baal, Thanatos will take care of them with love, developing feelings that go beyond what he feels is his duty.
Thanatos thinks that nobody knows who the father of the twins is, but in reality Shamura knows since he had (century before) various visions on his siblings, one of them was about his nephews.
They start to get followed by the God of War followers, Thanatos thinks is about his own presence, so as they run away from the cultists he separates from Forneus and the children.
Thanatos manages to bring with him the whole group, since they lost trace of the other three, they will try to get the information on where they are out of him but he will die in the process.
Unfortunately Thanatos death was useless, because Shamura themself was there and they found the mother with the children without any difficulty.
They will calmily speak with Forneus, explaining that Narinder is alone and that he needs to have his children to keep him company, she doesn’t want to get separated from them but she knows she cannot deny a god, so she lets them go praying to Narinder to keep her babies safe.
Centuries later Thanatos will be brought back to life by a new god of Death (under Narinder request after Forneus told him everything), a sheep who is know a the Holy Lamb, he will meet once again his old Lord now undressed of his powers and Crown, and he is assured that Forneus and the twins are fine, happy and together.
He will be gifted the possibility to live a second life, a more peaceful one, as long he wishes for.
