Quezkari's true nature is hard to define. He is mentioned in the Tale of the First Battle, having fought alongside the forces of Evil led by Death, Disease and Decay. It is said that he is related to the deities of magic Hamaskis and Shekka, having fought the former alongside the latter. This and the fact that he is referred in Bloodbones as a Voodoo Death God defines him as a deity, or at least a demigod linked both to Death and Magic. However, it is eventually revealed in Bloodbones that he is a manifestation of the combined souls of those who were killed by Cinnabar and those who were turned into zombies by his priests. This somehow explains that he needs to constantly feed on souls to sustain himself.
