My Tales from the Yawning Portal folks gtf out of here unless you want to ruin your game! :P
Anyway... I came across this guy while flushing out my bad guys for this campaign and can’t seem to find any info on him... like anywhere. Did his name get changed or something after the artist handed the depiction to WoTC? Any lore or info please!
At least that's what I used to find a picture of him online. So that might be a good place to start. But else from what I could see that link is where all the info about him is. I think it's all up to you! ^^

Haha, yeah the muddy colors description was all I could find too. His name and that he’s a demon prince from the shadowfell? ... likely a 4e monster as the pic seems to be from 2010. I’ll probably just make everything up. Thanks!
I’m trying to find which 4e sourcebook/adventure he might be in. But for my personal game a faction of assassins will be trying to bring him to Faerun.. so end game BBEG.
Vorkhesis - An exarch of the Raven Queen and the first of the sorrowsworn, Vorkhesis was born without eyes but with the ability to see far beyond himself and his surroundings. He has only one hand, in which he grips a black longspear. When a powerful hero or villain dies, the Raven Queen might choose to hold that person’s soul in her realm, whether at the behest of another god or for her own inscrutable reasons. Vorkhesis guards these souls, and epic tier adventurers might need to fight him if they seek to rescue an ally who has been bound here or erase the existence of an enemy capable of overcoming death. They can try to knock Vorkhesis unconscious rather than killing him, and if they succeed, they gain the chance to recover a bound soul. If Vorkhesis is attacked, he utters a word that extinguishes the light in the Hall of Final Fate, plunging it into utter darkness. Then he summons a number of sorrowsworn allies and strikes. Vorkhesis has held sway in this lonely temple for millennia. The Master of Fate knows much, including the ultimate fate of every creature that has lived, whether or not it has yet perished. He welcomes nonhostile visitors and relishes the chance to share stories with them. He takes any opportunity to connect with the living and get a sense of what a normal life feels like. Vorkhesis is sometimes referred to as “Son of the Raven Queen.” Most believe this title refers to his being the first of the sorrowsworn. Rumors persist, though, that he is the deity’s true offspring, born either during her mortal existence or during the time after her death when she was forced to be Nerull’s consort.
These 4e stat blocks don't mean a darn thing to me, but maybe it does to you.

Here's your boy.
He is in the 4e book: The Shadowfell - Gloomwrought And Beyond on page 91.
