Pale King

The Pale King is the ruler of the Shroud. His exact nature and origin is unknown, and none can remember him moving or audibly communicating. The Pale King is largely unknown to the mortals and worshipped by next to no one, but the gods almost universally respect his sovereignty over the Shroud. Be it out of goodwill, respect, or fear. 
What is known is that while the Pale King seems to be an eternal part of the Rifted Universes. And is responsible for sending souls of the dead to their destined afterlife. 
While some claim that the Pale King seems to be a servant of the gods, handling the souls of the dead for them, there were instances where the gods found themselves in front of the Pale King. The Pale King felled his silent judgement upon those gods. Where they ended up is unknown. In this way, it seems that the Pale King stands above the gods. At least within the Shroud.
Some argue that the Pale King is an instance of the Shroud itself. A manifestation of the plane within itself, thus the will of the form known as the Shroud.
Though often referred to as the Pale King, no one really knows where the name came from, nor was any gender ever confirmed, ⁣nonetheless the Pale King is generally referred to as “he” or “him”.
