Overview
Edit
The court of The Eternal Throne is ruled over by a venerated King, an ancient and dusty lord of bone. He alone knows the way to the way to the Dead City, and will not part easily with this secret. Quick to anger, he is at first repulsed by Death who still bears the stench of the living.
The Lord of Bones rules the Kingdom of the Dead aboard the Eternal Throne as the King of the Dead. Judging the souls of the dead is his duty along with his Dead Lords, which has become troublesome since all of humanity was wiped out during the end war. Should one request his aid they must prove themselves worthy or he will have their soul.
BiographyEdit
OriginEdit
Not much is known before the Lord of Bones became ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead, except that he was once the trusted second in command of the former King of the Dead, Argul. Once he had usurped the throne, entombed Argul in his lair, destroyed the Dead Lords serving Argul and banished Argul's Tomb from the realm to contain Frostbane, he became the new King of the Dead and judge of the fallen.
Darksiders IIEdit
When Death entered the Dead King's chamber, the king saw that Death was still alive and told him he was not welcome in his realm. The Lord of Bones noticed the amulet shards in Death's chest and professed that he had wondered where the souls of the Nephilim went as they had never been brought into his realm. After the nephilim mentioned his mission, the King showed the horseman the souls of mankind wailing for vengeance.
The King made a deal with the nephilim, in exchange for returning the three Dead Lords to him he would tell him the way to the Well of Souls. When Death performed his part of the bargain the Lord of Bones destroyed the Dead Lords, claiming they had failed him, but the horseman had earned his gratitude and so he unlocked hidden potential within Death and sent him to the City of the Dead to seek out information.
TriviaEdit
- The Lich Spines which Death can acquire in the City of the Dead belonged to him, having been his weapons when he overthrew Argul.
