[i]Don't play with the child, don't listen to the old woman, don't test the warrior.[/i] - Old Proverb
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[b]Description[/b]
Death has many faces. The child that is Tarthus embodies that. 
He bears three faces, the Old woman, the Warrior and the child. Each representing an aspect of death. Tarthus can take these three forms at will, appearing as an old, fragile woman, an Warrior in Black Armor or an small, playful little child. He is not a spirit of death as much as an enforcer, seeing it as a higher duty to remind mortals of their mortality. 
The Warrior may appear in front of you, challenging you. The violent death.
The child will play with you till you wake up in the afterlife. The untimely death.
And when the old woman comes you will have already accepted your fate. The peaceful death.

In his true form he is an being, the size of two man, towering over mere mortals in his black cloak with skeletal fingers and three faces silently staring down at them.

[b]Powers[/b] 
Tarthus can change his form at will, only in very rare cases he shows his true form to mortals however.
Apart from that he has a wide variety of powers. In his warrior form he is an exceptional fighter, who only the best mortal soldiers and knights can best. The other two forms don't really have special abilities.
In all forms Tarthus can seemingly appear out of nowhere, just like death. He is incredibly hard to kill and it is said that a man nearly died of fear when he bashed the skull of an old woman, only to see her still walking. Tarhus is also known to reincarnate incredibly fast.
If it comes to real immortal combat, Tarthus can unleash his true power and fight his enemy's with powerful spells of death and decay.
His three faces also each see something different. The old woman, in her nostalgia only sees the past, while the warrior who only lives for the moment sees only the present, the child in his youthful naivety only looks into the future.

[b]Original tribe[/b]
The Nizek, a small tribe in the swamps of Xochimilia worshiped Tarthus as their God of Death. He was not really their Leader, more a religious figure. While the tribe never conquered much, they build one of the first great city's, Taxu. Taxu remains to this day, an incredibly old city, with a rich history. Although it is poor, having not many resources and almost no trade going on its inhabitants pride themselves on their heritage. While they are officially a part of the empire, the city is practically free.

[b]Faction[/b]
Tarthus was on the side of the Demons, wanting too keep his role. But he never wanted to destroy humanity. If humanity would be gone, who would still die?

[b]Anecdotes[/b] 
There once was a man. 
When he was still young a small boy appeared before him. [color=000001]"Come with me."[/color], said the small boy.
But the man did not want to go. He offered the small boy the life of his just born brother. "Take him, play with him. It is not my time."
And the small boy was kind and accepted and left.
When the man was older he went to war. After a battle a warrior in black armor appeared before him. [color=000001]"Come with me."[/color], said the warrior.
But the man did not want to go. He challenged the warrior. "If I win leave me and take my soldiers. It is not my time."
And the warrior was honorable and accepted and lost and left.
When the man was old an old woman appeared before him. [color=000001]"Come with me."[/color], said the old woman.
But the man did not want to go. He offered the woman hospitality instead, giving her food and wine. "Eat my food, sleep in my bed, drink my wine but then leave. It is not my time."
And the old woman was merciful and accepted the offer and left.
When the man was even older looking at his children and his farm a three faced Lord appeared. [color=000001]"Come with me."[/color]
But the man did not want to go. He offered the Lord everything he had. "Take my children, take my riches, take everything I own but then leave. It is not my time."
But the child was ruthless.
But the warrior was cold-blooded.
But the old woman was dutiful.

[color=000001]"It is your time."[/color]

[b]Opinions[/b] 
[hider=Eyra the Seer]
Intelligence and wisdom but such a wrong goal. Why protect those who are destined to die? And all these years in the pit...
[/hider]
[hider=Kinion the Fool]
Only a smart man plays the fool. You can't fool death.
[/hider]
[hider=Wu Dan]
His hands and voice delivered more death than those of any mortal. If he would only unleash them more often.
[/hider]
[hider=Therelon]
Knowledge is a noble goal. And Magic a powerful tool.[/hider]
[hider=Nod, the great beast]
The Warrior respects him.
The Old Woman and Child fear him.
Tarthus respects the death he brings.
[/hider]
[hider=Kozz, the Forgemaster]
Life is fragile and short.
His creations are everlasting.
[/hider]
[hider=Azoth]
Wherever the Kindly Man walks Chaos follows.
Wherever there is chaos death follows.
[/hider]
[hider=Chinasa, the pallid]
When color leaves men when they are dead it is a thing of beauty. 
When color leaves men while they are alive it is a abomination.
[/hider]
[hider=Aylin, the Watcher]
An Arrow is a instrument of death. How can this Archer then be reluctant with it?
[/hider]
[hider=Ash the Changing]
With all your faces how can you not see what I see?
And how can their still be something left of you?
[/hider]
[hider=Zhystkrexas the Corruptor]
Corruption brings death. But I despise the deals you offer.
How often have you helped people escape me?
[/hider]
[hider=Kilgarrah, The Honorable]
Their is nothing to gain in taming beasts. 
The ones who died trying did the right thing.
