History: Hel is as ancient as the eldest immortal and does not remember her past (or at least she pretends not to). Maybe she is a raw force of nature or reached immortality so long ago that she forgot her origins, or maybe her patron (whoever it was) erased her previous memories for some unknown reason. During the centuries she interfered in Mystara’s history ever since its prehistory, with the only purpose of increasing disorder and evil to balance the lawful bias of the other spheres. The creation of the beastmen, her nefarious influence over the Antalians and their descendants all over the world, her patronage of the cold giants and the shadow takeover of Sind orchestrated by her evil shapeshifter followers are all steps taken to outweigh Law’s influence in the universe and bring about the Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods which will give way to a new order based on Evil and Entropy (which she embodies).

Personality: Hel has plots going on all over the Multiverse and she’s very feared by the mortals who know her. Together with Thanatos, she’s the most powerful immortal of the Sphere of Entropy, and they compete fiercely for domination. She’s fascinated by the cycle of life and death, by the juxtaposition of Good and Evil. She does not believe that death shall prevail in the end, as Thanatos hopes, but rather she believes in the cosmic order which gives Law and Chaos their place and time in the cycle of things. She knows that Law’s predominance over the universe is nearing its end, and it’s just a matter of time before she achieves her final goal and brings Ragnarok to the Multiverse. After that, Entropy will rule and she’ll be the sole Queen of the universe. For this reason it is of paramount importance for her reincarnating evil beings into newborn creatures, to increase the chaos factor in the cosmos and speed up things for Ragnarok. Hel is particularly obsessed with shadows and cold energies, which she feels closely resemble her own soul. Also for this reason she’s got more followers in the areas where cold and darkness abound. Hel’s only ally is Loki, even if their cooperation is not constant. She’s Odin’s sworn enemy, as well as opposing the whole pantheon of the Aesirs. She agrees with Odin’s visions about the coming of the Ragnarok, but she does not intend to play along the role that Odin’s prophecy assigned her (she will be killed by one of Odin’s sons) and instead she’s trying to eliminate most of the Aesirs before the Ragnarok comes, in order to gain the upper hand.
