Hogimal

(a.k.a. Our Lord of Fire)

The Initiator saw that was dark all around, and called forth a spark from within themself, lifting it into the heavens.
This spark grew into the sun, and from the sun descended a being of fire and heat, of netherrack and magma. “I am Hogimal,” he declared.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

According to myth, Hogimal was the first born of the Initiator, and came into being with the formation of the sun. He was given guardianship of the Nether. The Creator tasked him with filling the realm as he pleased, and he chose to make it a world of fire and magma. The denizens of this place, he declared, shall be strong and resilient.
The Fall damaged his relationship with his baby brother Herobrine. The nature god hated how humans and Other People had grown prideful and abused other living creatures for their gain, and in rage he struck the earth. If one ascribes to the version of the legend where Herobrine was captured by his siblings and imprisoned, the story goes that Hogimal played a pivotal role. He was the one, so goes the story, who overpowered Herobrine and bound him up in the prison.
