Ythrym, The Balance
Ythrym, the second to be imprisoned in a halo, is theorized to keep the Rings together. It isn't known whether or not it's of Ythrym's own volition, but they keep the Ether from collapsing into Chaos, maintaining the Astral Ring, the Ethereal Ring, the Elemental Ring, and the Material Ring.
Ythrym in the Book of Veltan
When Navven guided the Empyreans into existence, Ythrym was the one to keep the Great Shard from splintering into an infinite amount of fragments, allowing the creation of the Ether to persist. And it was Ythrym who stretched the Ether at its ends to create its peaks, Purgatory and Inferno.
Appearance
Whenever Ythrym is portrayed, it is almost always as a humanoid stretched and bound in a ring, often one of gold. In many interpretations, Ythrym is a woman, though the Empyreans are thought to be genderless.
