Vecna, the Whispered One
(a.k.a. The Undying King, The Lord of the Rotted Tower)
The dark god of necromancy, undeath, and secrets presides over villainous mages, conspiring politicians, and envious servants.
Once a dangerously clever and powerful archmage-turned-lich, his hunger for dominion over all mysteries and obsession with conquering the pantheon led to his own dissolution, leaving behind only his left hand and eye. His enduring spirit reformed through the ages and managed to reconstruct the The Raven Queen's rites of ascension to become the newest god to walk Exandria. Defeated by the legendary heroes Vox Machina and sealed behind the Divine Gate, the Whispered One now quietly rules over that which is not meant to be known.
