Boons:

Appearance: He looks human, but always wears a robe to cast a shadow over his head. He stands at average height, just barely below 6 foot, and has a torso with skin the indents around his ribs and sternum. He has no hair on his head, and no face for that matter, he has skin on the rest of his body, but it comes off on the front of his head, revealing his skull, no eyes, lips, nose, tongue to be spoken of.

Personality: He rarely speaks to anyone, except to tease those who die and have the misfortune of meeting him. When he does talk to other gods or mortals, he is very quizzical, speaks mostly in riddles and metaphors that rarely make sense at first. He may not resent the gods, especially his father, but he sneers at the mention of them, acting to hate the gods. He does this mostly to make those under him, and those who don't, fear him.

Goals/Beliefs: He believes that murderers are divine mortal, and are doing the right thing. His only goal is to collect the dead, make sure warriors find their proper place in the afterlife, and reward those who are truly wicked by making them like him, immortal killers made to kill those whose time has come.

Backstory: He was created by Alvin, god of fire, lightning, war and childhood. Before he was created, the wars he watched over meant little, the people who killed would receive little reward upon their own death, and where was the justice in that? He created Faceless so those who died fighting for his pleasure could be rewarded for pleasing him so well. He purposely made him without a face, most people said they can fearlessly stare death in the face and laugh, a hard task to do if death has no face. Before going to the Isle of Plenty, he rewarded those who were valiant warriors and gave them a rich, tasteful afterlife. But in the time between wars, he grew bored of having no people to praise. Until he noticed that people would murder each other without war to provoke them. He saw this as a zealous act, killing without a higher need, and felt they needed to be reward even more than warriors. He decided he wanted them to be like him, killers who would never die, and even aid those near death to die quicker.
