God of destruction, and one of the ruling Triumrti of the Deva, Shiva is a key part of the universe in order for it to retain its function. He balances out Brahma's creation, allowing for things to be destroyed in the universe. He is married to both Kali and Parvati, the first of which he keeps from destroying too much, and the second of which keeps him from destroying too much.

Shiva is white skinned from ashes, has matted and gnarled hair from having the Ganges run through it, and has a blue throat from the worlds poisoned oceans which he drank to prevent the death of all mankind, Shiva, despite being a cosmic destroyer, is not as villainous as Apep or Surtr by any stretch. Shiva has saved the mortals of the world before, and will likely do again, and for all his destruction, it is required for the balance of everything.
