Krosban Description
So many seek immortality, but only the fools take the route of undeath. I will not judge all of those trapped in that terrible state, for not everyone has a choice, but to follow the god of Undeath is folly. I do not have to meet the god in order to know his twisted evil. I have seen it in the walking dead that cry for release. Witnessed it in the hollow eyes of shambling skeletons that should be resting peacefully in graves. I have stared it down in the hungry red eyes of vampires, and seen the terrible price they must pay.
Portfolio
To be dead and walk amongst the living, that is the realm of Brashq. Every walking dead, every shambling shell, every immortal vampire is a tribute to his evil, whether they wish it or not. Brashq controls every aspect of ‘life’ after death. He stands waiting amid the stream of souls, seeking those spirits who want another chance to live, were not ready to die, or seek power. He comes to them in a hansom skin, and whispers to them promises of a life where they will never die again. Once they accept the Faustian deal is sealed and the subject returns as the living dead, a macabre tribute to the god of Undeath.

Some try to trick the god into granting them undeath, but Brashq is a patient god, and more than willing to wait for the newly undead to begin wishing they had chosen a different route before enslaving them. One can taste of the poisoned fruit, but they will still die.
Appearance
Brashq appears first to beings along the stream of souls, stepping forward in the form of a well-kept man in a suit, making his first offer.

The smooth face peels away revealing the grim skull of the god. The gods voice is silky smooth and his body appears to be in various stages of decay. Oftentimes half of the face is revealed to the onlooker, but it is more than enough to glimpse the cruel yellow glow that burns deep in the god’s eye sockets, tempting them down a path that will lead to unending life and sure damnation.
