He is strong, but calm, and is the most mysterious god among the gods. He reminds people of death, and people seldom call him by his real name because he always wears a coat to cover his face and body. There is no evil except taking Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of harvest, as his wife.
He usually sits in a chariot with four dark horses and holds a two-pronged halberd. He will clear any obstacles ahead. If he walks into the Yang world, it must be to lead the victim's soul to hades, or to check whether the sun shines through a gap in the ground.
