Life, Crime
Pushed by the god Gilgamesh, a mortal man by the name of Halastar killed his own lover.
With the death of Michael's first love, the gods Marduk and Anu cursed the man to forever walk the earth as an abomination so that all others would know what horrors he'd done. In addition, with the death of the lover came a new god. The god Nerull was born, the god of Murder.
