Keshet the Shrike

"I am Keshet the Shrike, god of murder. And murder investigations. Take your pick, before someone chooses for you." 
-Keshet 
Keshet the Shrike, also called Keshet the Murder Lord and Keshet the Unkind Aid, is the Arkonic aeon of murder and criminal investigations. Widely worshiped by both his Murder Cult and criminal investigators, Keshet is a highly bipolar deity that can appear as easily as a friend as he can as a foe. Similar to Quetzal, he is also a divine beast, that being the divine best of shrikes. Though he appears as a human or bird to many, some histories have recorded him to have been a pale Alpiran in life. 
Keshet was once a prophet for his father Konraz the Murder Lord, in the blood cult of Andarra City. However, after losing his memory during a long-forgotten crisis, he would go on to join a group of adventurers and save the continent. During his adventure, he would regain his memory, and confront his former cult. He would then go on to reject his father, who would proceed to kill him for his insolence. However, Sanalana the Kind, goddess of death, would take pity upon him, and sensing his story was not yet over, return his soul to him. Now reborn as a free man, he would aid his comrades in defeating the long-forgotten villains that threatened to destroy his home. Keshet would then take up the role of a criminal investigator, using his knowledge from his time at the head of the Kronaz Cult to hunt down ner'do'wells. 
However, over time Keshet would eventually feel his power begin to fade, as his connection to Konraz grew dimmer. With all his allies dispersed or otherwise preoccupied, he would fall into despair as he grew weaker and weaker. When one night a Konraz cultist broke into his home to kill him, Keshet would barely be able to fight him off. This event spurred him into taking up his blade once more, to finally and fully rid himself of Konraz. He would then kidnap one of his former comrades, and together, the two of them would go on a new adventure, meeting old friends and enemies alike. Keshet would begin to address some of the underlying traumas of his experiences, and though growing increasingly weak, would find new ways to apply himself. Though he would go on to regain his powers, the experience would irreversibly change him. 
When the time came, he would confront the spirit of his former father, and dueled him in an epic battle through the streets of Andarra City. Though vastly outmatched, Keshet used his newfound knowledge to outwit his father, and using an ancient weapon from a lost demon clan, slew him. He then absorbed his strength, and usurped him to become the new god of murder, with the added benefit of also granting his boon to detectives, the mortal enemy of all criminals. 
Since his ascension, he has been worshiped as a member of the Venerate Gods on Arkon, and does occasionally receive contracts for support on Earth, though his influence there is far more muted.
