Belin

Belin is (or rather: was) a rather curious deity. Not curious, as in eager to explore new things, but curious as in, strange. He was never like the other spirits. Many didn't even know he existed. In primordial times, he spent many centuries hidden, afraid of the other spirits. He did not feel like them, for in fact, he did not know what he himself were for many years to come. He would spend most of his time in The Mortal Realm, hidden somewhere out of sight from his fellow spirits. He preferred the solitude, instead of the hustle and bustle of the Aetherworld. He would look upon the world shaping before him, trying to figure out what he was, why he was created. He was a young spirit at that time, and very confused. For many centuries, he searched for a purpose and a reason to exist, but almost everything he found already had a spirit to represent it. It was logical, after all. The spirit is created at the same time as its purpose, in synergy, but Belin failed to find his purpose. That was, until the day humans began to walk The Mortal Realm. The humans did not have a spirit and for many years afterwards, he considered himself the spirit of humanity. That was, until Locux interfered.

In one of the many heavenly wars, Locux spent much time trying to gain more allies on his side. He succeeded once with Mirran, splitting her from her twin sister, Keyen, and Belin came shortly after. Locux found Belin, alone and unknown, and Locux saw his chance to present himself as a mentor and guardian for Belin. Belin, who knew no better, gladly accepted. Locux lead him to The Netherworld, his new home, and began to convince him that The Aetherworld were out to capture and torture him. Belin grew bitter over the many years of brainwash and eventually, his adopted purpose turned into the complete opposite: inhumanity. Belin, whose poor mind was now completely corrupted by Locux's influence, hated his former purpose with a passion. He adopted the purpose of inhumanity and madness and through that, created the infamous wraiths. These vile specters were the twisted souls of madmen, warped into the possessing entity that they are now. Through these creatures, Belin was able to force his will upon the wraiths' hosts and forcefully transform them into his masterpiece: the accursed. These werewolves and vampires fell into insanity and eternal hunger, eager to slaughter everything in their way in the name of their mad father. And to this day, Belin collects the souls fallen Accursed and warps them into wraiths. And thus, the circle of madness continues.
