Dead Three

The Dead Three was the collective name given to Bane, Bhaal & Myrkul. Originally, they were powerful mortal adventurers who sought the path to godhood. They found it in the form of Jergal, who acquiesced to their demands as he was tiring of his life as god of the dead. He gave up his portfolios to the three of them, apotheosizing them in the process. Bane got Tyranny, Bhaal got violent death & Myrkul got the dead.

They earned their name of The Dead Three when they all perished during the Time of Troubles. Bane and Torm killed each other and Myrkul was killed by the mortal mage Midnight while Bhaal was slain by Cyric, using the sword Godsbane, an avatar of Mask.
