Zarxen

Zarxen is a Grand Deity of souls. His Plane of Motus is known as the Reliquian.

Appearance and Behavior
Zarxen appears as a black hooded-robed figure wearing a grey mask that resembles a human skull; the mask appears to be made out of a form of wood. His eyes are dominantly glossy-white.

Zarxen displays a stoic demeanor and often is interpreted as immensely imposing. He speaks in a baritone and raspy voice.

Influence
As the Grand Deity of souls and death, Zarxen primarily deals in managing the souls of mortals. The moment a mortal dies they are visited by Zarxen, who guides them from the plane of Domis to the Reliquian. Zarxen also watches over the souls within the Reliquian as they prepare for reclamation.

Funeral rites commonly have passages wishing Zarxen to guide the deceased safely to the Reliquian, where they may live at peace until their soul is repurposed.

In regards to necromancy, Zarxen's intervention appears to be case by case. In one instance, Zarxen halted an attempted resurrection of a being that had been sentenced to death by the Magnus Impendra. Otherwise, Zarxen appears to not pay much attention to common necromancy.

Abilities
Zarxen is able to manipulate a being's soul, which can be applied as follows:
 * He is able to steal a soul from a being, effectively killing them.
 * He is able to resurrect deceased beings by returning their soul to them.
 * He can give higher potential to the soul, allowing it to heal wounds of its mortal body. This can be given temporarily or indefinitely, leading to the being becoming invulnerable.
 * He can freeze a being's soul, rendering them observably comatose.
 * He can detect all forms of life and their exact location.
