Tammuz the Abgal

Overview

Tammuz the Abgal (just called Tammuz) is the Horseman of Famine. He is a patron of starvation and wasting, particularly from self-consumption and cancers. Tammuz has no true form, and his physical body is an ooze made from a corpse's residue. He often takes the form of an morbidly obese man showing a skull, covered with a dirty black cloak. From his mucus- and lymph-flooded citadel in the Withered Court, Tammuz commands his deacons—the meladaemons—to perform ever more horrifying experiments on souls. A few powerful meladaemons are infected with aspects of Tammuz's influence, which lurk within them like viruses, and only he knows how much control he could exert in this way. These fragments bombard him with a massive sensory input and wrack his mind with insanity.
