History

God of Darkness and Mist, Erebos was one of many beings to emerge from the void of Chaos, alongside Gaia and Tartarus. Shortly after the universe came into existence, he took his sister, Nyx (“Night”), as his consort, and the two of them sired numerous children, including Hypnos (“Sleep”), Thanatos (“Death”), Aither (“Light”), Eris (“Strife”) and Charon. As Erebos the primordial, he represent the darkness that fille the depth hollows of the world.
