The Hand Man's Hatred

With the desire of power growing ever more present on the evil planes it was within the ninth layer of Hell that destruction was born. The Titans there had twisted their bodies to be envisions of pure evil, some still in their humanoid forms were mere bloody skeletons, others were demonic goat-like beings with horns that towered from their heads and hearts of fire.

The one who was to be noted however was known as the Hand-Man for he would seek to claim the hands of other Titans. Nobody knows how many hands he has collected to this day, but with his story comes a lesson.

The Hand-Man sought out the power that The Allseer had, not the ability to see the future and past, but to inflict pain and death onto the lands. Eventually he used the Ancient Wild Magics to twist his body into the shape of that which he collected, a severed hand. The injury that would bleed eternally was covered with a once white cloth, now stained from the constant weeping of a self-inflicted injury.

The Hand-Man would walk on three fingertips, with the smallest finger being used as a limb of attack. The thumb had its flesh peeled off to the bone which was sharpened to a blade. In a twisted ritual, with countless hands and many dead Titans at his feet the Hand-Man summoned forth great powers into his being, but they came at a price.

The Hand-Man screeched in pain as his smallest limb was torn from his body, his twisted face that sat on the “back” of the hand drooped and teeth grew from his forcefully stretched jaw. His new look was hideous, the Titans on the plane who saw this transformation were horrified and word spread of the pains of his alteration. The Hand-Man hated this new look, but his Ancient Wild Magics could no longer change it.

His hatred grew and it started to be aimed at others, instantly he began killing more Titans trying to get some sort of control to adapt to his being. Titans ran from Hell, and in their flee told stories of a hatred filled Hand-Man. Eventually this great being was named The Hateful Hand, and is known today as the deity of Destruction, Hatred and Insanity.

The Hateful Hand's anger would lead events into a dark era within history. The Hand Man's Hatred would see the beginning of war which came to a head in The Hateful Clash.
