Hood - The Judge
Domain: The Gates
Hood is the universally respected god in all of Quake. He was the first to ascend and his origin is unknown. He is the ascendent that guards the gates of passage from life into death. Hood is the god that the normal man swears by. It is said that Hood's breath stalks each mortal and looks for its chance to whisk them away to the gates. Few love Hood but all respect his presence. His place is on the battlefield as he stalks the mortally wounded, and escorts souls to the gates. He is the judge and propels men to their eternal destinations. He is known to be emotionless and unbiased. Each year there is a celebration of Hood in the city of Pail where the priests of Hood coat themselves in the blood of sacrificed animals and wonder about the city to remind the world that Hood waits for us all. Many assassins pay him tribute and soldiers pray to him before battle. Wives of soldiers and widows curse him. Rulers and kings respect him. He is the one God that all must meet at one point provided they do not escape death through ascension. Each mortal only hopes that he has not cursed Hood so much that he is dissatisfied with their soul approaching Hood's Gates.
