Homebrew Avatar of Death Species Details

The bandit sank his knife into the lady. Die, so I can have my money back.  A man shot him, and the bandit fell. But he didn’t die. Not yet, anyways. As everyone left and the lady was healed, a creature appeared before him. Are you proud? Your soul is now forfeit. You don’t deserve to live. And you can’t. Now I’m here to make sure you die. And stay dead. 

Once upon a time, the deity’s of death decided someone needed to make sure people stay dead. People were fighting back against them when they decided it was time to die. They made one avatar. Meant to do the job of taking souls and putting them where they are supposed to go.

then the Great War happened. There was so many souls to clean up, the Avatar split itself into 3 pieces. One was eventually captured and trapped in the Deck of Many Things. The 2nd tried to fight back the priests of Life, but was forced into the Deck of Several Things. The 3rd was smart and avoided them, and after all the souls were taken care of, the avatar went home to the Shadowfell, where it waited for more people to die.
