Hextor, Champion of Evil, Herald of Hell, Scourge of Battle, is the deity of many soldiers and fighters who deem Lawful Evil most fit to rule, admiring war and discord. Of course, others besides those of military calling follow him. Hextor dwells on the Plane of Acheron but can wander to those of Hell or even Nirvana. Most frequently, though, Hextor treads the Prime Material Plane in search of warfare, aiding lawful evil, opposing good. Especially does Hextor seek to overthrow those serving Heironeous (q.v.).

The latter is his half-brother and chief enemy. When Heironeous chose Lawful Good, Hextor opted to serve Lawful Evil. Always inferior to his half-brother, the Lords of Evil granted Hextor six arms instead of a mere pair, so as to be able to best Heironeous and all other opponents.

Hextor appears as a normal, handsome man when in disguise, for he can cause four of his arms to meld with his torso whenever he so desires. His complexion is fair and his hair jet black, as are his eyes. He is well-spoken and charming, a hale fellow and a man's man, yet irresistible to women. He can converse with sages, reason with philosophers, argue with clergy, discuss arcane secrets with dweomereraefters. When in his true form, however, Hextor is gray of skin, lank-haired, red-rimmed eyes bulging from a visage horrible to look upon. Then he cares only to fight and slay.

Places of worship of Hextor are grim, dark, and bloody. Major shrines and temples usually are built on some field of slaughter. 

His clerics wear black robes adorned with white skulls or gray visages embroidered thereon. Only the higher levels have arrows of hate and discord in red, lower clerics being permitted gray ones. 

Much chanting accompanies ceremonies honoring Hextor. Wind instruments sound discordant tones, shouts and screams are voiced, and iron weapons are struck during such an offery. 

Hextor is much honored in the Great Kingdom.
