"This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy that's barely out of its diapers. I'm old, Iroh. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you."
— Enma to Iroh as Iroh asks to have his son back


Enma is the God of the dead and controls where the dead go in the spiritual realm

History

A very ancient god that controls his own realm where the dead go before they are judged and taken to where they belong and Iroh in the past confronted him in hopes to get his son back but Enma revealed that he wouldn't do so as that would effect the natural order and in turn cause chaos.

Personality

He is mostly unconcerned with the affairs of the mortal realm, preferring to focus his energies on the Underworld. He is, however, quick to anger if someone crosses him or his family. He is completely detached from the rest of the world. He even compares humans to a bacterium. He cares little for major events of the here and now. Despite being callous at times Enma has a respect for the natural order of the universe. He explains to Iroh that there are times when it's difficult but in the end Death is Death and breaking the order in even the smallest way causes untold. Chaos.

Appearance

He has long black hair, pale white skin, pure white eyes, a black Toga with a red belt that connects the chains to the rest of his outfit long black boots with black greaves.

Abilities

Immortal and invincible to certain forms of attacks. Enma could also shape shift, which he demonstrated during battle, as he increased his size throughout any battles. As a god, he has super strength. As the ruler of the Underworld, Enma had a good deal of control over the souls of the dead, to the degree where he was able to gift them to worthy mortals.

He also carried the Claws of Yama, duel hook-ended chain-blades with the power of tearing the souls from any living being. They are depicted as being a set of spiked chains with two purple hooks at the end of each. Enma is "draped" in them, and they are embodied with his magic powers. By absorbing souls, they allow him to become stronger. They glow with a dark purplish aura indicating the number of souls that it has absorbed. By absorbing countless souls, the chains' attack power increases as well as the speed . Enma has the ability to summon legions of the undead as well as a wide array of undead beasts using the Claws' power.
