DEITY
Known as the Midnight Lord or the Prince of Pain. Lawful Evil god of torture, mutilation, murder, and pain.
Formerly Dou-Bral, a minor god of beauty like his half-sister Shelyn, he went beyond the stars and returned twisted and changed by, it is believed, alien beings. He hates his sister but will not attack her or any of her followers openly.
In Chapter 29, Dora confirmed to Ray that she was certain he had been a priest of Zon-Kuthon when she had observed him in the psychometry reading of his morningstar.
In Chapter 144, Ray thought of him as:
A brother to a beautiful sister, broken by the machinations of a darkness beyond comprehension. Atop his scalp, a crown of spikes pulling his skin open into a disturbing sunburst, the back of his skull completely gone, his brain naked, open, exposed—in all its pain—to the world. A kindred spirit. Agony made flesh. Suffering without end.
In Chapter 150 (Part 3), it was revealed that Ray’s rotting flesh was a curse laid upon him when Ray turned his heart over to Shelyn.
