Long ago, secret texts say, Pelor the Shining One fathered two sons. Ehlonna his queen bore to him the first, Heironeous, who was called Invincible. Wee Jas, who coveted Pelor's power, came to the Shining One in the form of his bride, and gave birth to a child she named Hextor. Erythnul and Nerull, in one of their myriad conspiracies, lied to and betrayed the young Hextor, and in a deal with infernal powers, Hextor lost his comely appearance and became the Scourge of Battle.

Among today's priesthood of Hextor, the faithful are policed by the Inquisitors, who mercilessly root out error through interrogation and torture. A few of these use their power to hide their secret reverence for the Brothers, and in particular The General, Hextor's ancient appellation. Presumably, Heironeous' earthly followers include some small number who are similarly aware of Hextor's former nature.
