God · from book 4
Yarilo
The feral god of lust, Emberus's nephew or cousin or half-brother in Carl's uncertain count, banished to the Nothing for ruining one of Apito's masquerades — the god Samantha impersonated to escape the Nothing, who hates her for it. Born of the Gate's last opening on the ninth floor, conscripted by a war mage's potion, and beaten to death with Meatus by Harpocrates: 'Not my face.' His death angers the gods.

By book
Book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods
Book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade
Book 5 supplies the banishment. At the first masquerade, drunk, he attempted to force himself upon the familiar of one of the other gods, and Apito banished him to the Nothing; Taranis raged at his wife 'for exiling his child' — his child, not hers (B5 ch. 65).
Book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
'Don't worry, we programmed out the head exploding debuff this season. That one was caused by Yarilo' (B6 ch. 3).
Book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin
