Beltazu

Beltazu (Pronounced: Bell-TAH-zoo), also known as The Master of Pain and The Willing Whip, is the god of agony and strife. Beltazu is the master of inflicting physical and psychological suffering, his portfolio encompassing hurt and torture of both others and oneself. "'The Lord of Pain, Beltazu, teaches us that pain is a most powerful and sacred sensation. And should our pain delight him—should we embrace such a gift—he will grant his most sacred of blessings.'""— Talonkiss, worshiper of Beltazu."

Description
Beltazu appears as a distorted cloud of shadows in the vague form of a humanoid that were often darker than other shadows even in complete darkness. As Beltazu moves a humming sound can often be heard that was usually painful to listen to for prolonged times.

Personality
Beltazu is cold-hearted and calculatingly cruel by nature, an aggressive and domineering despot that truly enjoys acts of sadism. Indeed, he has an instinct for inflicting pain, and not just physical suffering, always knowing just what to say and how to say it to best wound and discourage both mortals and other higher beings. Unlike most bullies however, Beltazu himself does not fear pain or even experience hurt. He is nearly impervious to any emotion, whether fear, love, or even hate. Attempts to harm him, whether through physical damage or verbal humiliation, prompt only laughter at the attempt, and more than one mortal has been startled to see him advance towards them with the full intention of receiving any damage that would come from doing so.

Worshipers
Bringing pain and suffering is the aim of all Beltazites, either through physical torture or sometimes more subtly and psychologically. Beauty, intelligence, and acting are useful attributes of a Beltazite, but the ability to fully understand someone was the best skill a Beltazite can acquire, as knowing someone fully could help a Beltazite inflict maximum pain, one way or another.
