Personality
Kull is malicious, cunning, and thoughtful. His chief interest is in souls; the pieces of his dead brother's essence. These he has treasured since the beginning, and he hoards them to himself, and delights in manipulating them. He may take particular interest in strong or unique souls; and often he will try to twist these into servants for his own use. Many of the other gods are distrustful of him, at best, but he is known as a bargainer, and a maker of deals. Many of these throughout history have been made, even among the chief of the deities. But just as many times, Kull has been sent away for his malicious intents.

History
Kull made nothing for his own in the new world, thinking it to be a waste of time and a flight of fancy for Shareia. Eraesaer offered to partner with him in the giving of life, but Madryn refused. His form was different, then, more majestic and wise in countenance, though his old subtlety never left him. When he saw how Ardus blossomed, he realized his mistake. But even when Shareia and Eraesaer shared the world, he had nothing to add or contribute to it. Eraesaer and Shareia were wed, and Madryn loathed his brother in envy; both for the beautiful works he had wrought, and for the heart of the chief goddess.

Thus did Madryn from that day forward use his malice to seek vengeance upon his brother. It was he who left the first traces of pride in the Elder; and thus it spread until Rigel arose and rebelled, and did Madryn's work of slaying Eraesaer. In the wrath of Shareia, Madryn fled, forgetting his majesty and what dignity he had. And his thoughts of pride and hate had marred his form.

His ways have not changed, except in that he became fascinated with the new phenomenon called death, and he collected the souls that contained the life that was spawned by his brother. They became his treasures and his obsessions, as well as his bargaining chips with the other gods in many cases.

Physical Manifestations
When Kull takes on corporeal form, he walks about as figure robed in black, not after the likeness of any creature of Ardus. He may appear simply as a shade or wrath, or as a strange, deformed mixture of the features of all the races. Save for the cloak, his appearance when he manifests is rarely the same twice.
