BHAA L AND HI S FOLLOWE RS

Bhaal is a god of murder who lends power to those

whose killings invoke fear and dread. The act of murder

is only half the equation. The second half is the suspi-

cion, paranoia, and fear that a seemingly unstoppable

killer can evoke. Bhaal seeks to inspire fear by s laying

those seemingly beyond the reach of death.

Bhaal always carries a red handkerchief somewhere

on his person. He can take on an alternate appearance

regardless of his current form, that of a hulking brute

armed with a long, curved dagger that drips blood. In

this form, he wears only a tattered loin cloth, is hair-

less, and is covered with bleeding wounds caused by a

slashing blade. His face is a skull flayed of its flesh and

surrounded by a halo of blood.

Bhaal is a vicious bully who enjoys killing people in

gruesome ways. He's brought to heel only by the combi-

nation of Bane and Myrkul.
