Physical Notes: Revonos appeared as a tall, strong, muscular man with swarthy skin, dark hair and eyes, and black clothing. He carried a black adamantium sword with a golden skull on the pommel, and often wore a necklace of animal bones. On the battlefield he would also appear frequently as a Black Rider: clad in black armor adorned with skulls, wielding a sickle, and riding a huge black war-horse with glowing red eyes.
Behavioral Notes: More than any other member of the Pantheon, Revonos wore his emotions on his sleeve. Even when he was not lashing out at those around him, he presented the image of a man barely in control of his passions. He sated his appetites casually and callously, without regard for anyone around him; only fear will compel him to control himself, and the only beings he fears are Kammoloth and Ba'al. The sight of his brother Dokorath almost invariably drove him into a frothing rage — he believed that the portfolio of War rightfully should have been his, and he dreamt endlessly of defeating Dokorath on the field of battle.
Supernatural Abilities: n/a. His aura was a field of black smoke.
Titles
- Master of Rage
- Master of Treachery
Background
Before the Lothanasi won their position of dominance over religion in Galendor, Revonos was worshiped as a god of strength and retribution. His most common servants were warriors who thought that Dokorath's teachings about honor and discipline were too soft-hearted or too restrictive. With the influence of the Lothanasi, his profile was shifted to focus on Murder, Rage, and Trechery. He also would get into fights with Dokorath about who should be the God of War.
His power came from murder, bloodlust, treachery, dishonorable conduct in battle, atrocities against civilians and POW's, and the shedding of innocent blood.
Revonos is dead, having been killed off by a White battlemage during his wanderings through the Southlands in the mid-900s. His power has passed among several great wizards of the Southlands since that time, and is currently held by the battlemage-ruler of one of the larger dictatorships in that region. The fact that the power's owners have used it frequently over the centuries has kept them weaker than some of the other members of the Pantheon.
Dead, but not Gone
Many mortals believe that, after he died, Revonos was too full of rage to ever pass over into the afterlife; instead, he took over Nocturna's old job as psychopomp, harvesting the souls of the dead and ushering them on to the rest he can never have. In one sense, he is the uber-ghost, and perhaps the first one to exist (and one who could not be laid to rest no matter who tried).
The rage, spite, and vindictiveness that filled Revonos with a hot rage in his life has not been tempered, but changed by his death. He has slowed down a little from the quick rages he was known for, and his vengeance is as now as cold as the steel of his scythe.
In present-day artwork he is often depicted wearing a black shroud and carrying a scythe, the "grim reaper" of the Metamor world.
Holy Symbol

Holy Day
Due to the influence of the Lightbringer Order the daedra lords were considered the "bad gods" or devils. As such, the Daedra Lords did not have individual holy days, but were all combined into one night, Daedra'kema (similar to the real world’s Halloween & Walpurgisnacht, with *much* sharper teeth and claws).2
