Crotalus

Crotalus is considered by some to be a facet or aspect of the god Zenniva, god of Slaves. Crotalus was known to be a good man, and cared for his people well. He and his family were prosperous, so when he became older and could work no more, he left in the night and traveled the land with only his whip to protect him. He sought out evil men in places of power, got close to them, and killed them, thus earning him the name "Pit Viper", or Crotalus. When his time came to die, Zenniva imparted his soul into his weapon so that his spirit could continue to strike fear into the heart of anyone who would do harm to those in a vulnerable position.

His whip was lost to time, with many believing it to be destroyed or otherwise forgotten about. It is sometimes mentioned in folktales and legends.
