Iyachtu Xvim

Iyachtu Xvim, also known as Godson, was the half-demonic son of Bane and for a time, the lawful evil lesser deity of Fear, Hatred, and Tyranny. Iyachtu Xvim was consumed in 1372 DR when his father used his body to re-emerge from death, taking Xvim's portfolios as his own.

Description
He was described as a bone-thin man with glowing green eyes, scaly black and brown skin, and large claws on his hands. He preferred not to wear clothes.

Possessions
He wielded the Soul Blade, a powerful scimitar that drained the life from its victims.

Abilities
Prior to his apotheosis, he had the power to create darkness at will, and could plane shift between the Material Plane and Acheron. Merely touching silver would cause him horrible pain.

Legion of the Chimera
The Legion of the Chimera, led by Isair and Madae, held Iyachtu Xvim in high regard, and often gave his statue gifts in the hope that he would come in avatar form. Isair even forged a replica of Iyactu's Scimitar of Souls.

Relationships
Iyachtu did not hold many relationships with other gods, but his relationship with the Legion of the Chimera made him form a relationship with the church of his father, Bane. At the time, Bane was alive, and Xvim held little godly power.

History
Iyachtu Xvim was said to have been born from the union of Bane and either a greater demon or a fallen paladin. In his earlier years, he was known to serve his father only begrudgingly as he traveled Faerûn to spread Bane's influence. At some point, he developed the ability to implant a fragment of his soul into nearly any a creature in order to transform it into a beast of Xvim.

In 710 DR, Iyachtu Xvim emerged from a portal above the city of Westgate and backed by a large army of tiefling warriors and demons, seized the Westgate throne. Xvim's tyrannical rule was ended in 734 DR when he was driven out by Farnath Ilistar, the rightful heir to the throne.

In 1357 DR, Xvim was tasked by his father to punish the Red Wizards of Thay for their failure to show proper deference to Bane.

During the Time of Troubles, the then-demigod Xvim was imprisoned within the depths of Zhentil Keep. Shortly after his father's demise and the end of the Time of Troubles, Iyachtu Xvim was able to make contact with several former banite priests who had fled underground following the events of the Banedeath of 1361 DR.

After a few years of deliberation, the banites decide to recognize Xvim as the rightful heir to Bane and tapping into their faith, he began working to free himself from his prison. In Ches 1369 DR, with the aid of his new acolytes, Xvim broke free of his prison beneath the ruins of Zhentil Keep and was granted his father's portfolios of hatred, strife, and tyranny, elevating him to the status of a Lesser deity.

For little over a decade, Xvim reigned as a minor god, a feeble successor to his fearsome sire. During his existence, Xvim was petty, power-hungry, and ruthless, in some ways like his father. However, he was not nearly as strong, especially in comparison with the other "new" deity in the Faerûnian pantheon, Cyric.

On Midwinter night of 1372 DR, the young god was consumed by a blazing green fire, from which emerged a resurrected Bane. Nearly all former clerics of Xvim (who in turn shifted to his allegiance after the death of his father) re-pledged themselves to the Church of Bane.

By the 15 century DR, most mortals were convinced Xvim was a dead deity and completely destroyed. However the Chosen of Mystra and the most devoted followers of the Godson knew it was not true. Iyachtu Xvim manifested to them as a ghostly whisper in their dreams and nightmares. Trapped in this incorporeal form, Xvim was craving worship, trying to accumulate followers in desperate anguish.
