Quietus: One from the Council of Creation given responsibility for establishing balance in the world.

For his crime, the Council Whited him, binding him in a far, barren place where there would be little opportunity to stretch forth his hand to exercise the Will. Yet from his bondage he has grown in power and influence, and shines darkly as the ultimate source of contention, lunacy, and evil.
