Dhuum

Dhuum was the god of death before Grenth. He has been referred to in the quest dialogue for The Four Horsemen and by Keeper Zeliss in Gate of Torment and it is implied he is the one causing problems in the Underworld.

Reaper of the Chaos Planes:
 * "Before the time of Grenth, when death was ruled by a cruel and unjust god, there stood a tower and a throne on this very plain. But Grenth rose up and destroyed the one called Dhuum and shattered down his tower, leaving only these storms of chaos as a reminder of the power that once held dominion here. My vigil over these lands was broken for a time, and I can feel a resurgence of the old taint. Four horsemen approach, riders of Dhuum. Destroy them before they can reclaim this place and throw the underworld into chaos!"

He was presumed to have been destroyed before the release of Guild Wars Nightfall.

It is revealed to us by Keeper Zeliss that Dhuum is still active, and is in league with both Abaddon and Menzies.

Keeper Zeliss:
 * "We are the keepers of Abaddon. Our Task has been complicated of late by the aid the dark god has received from the fallen god, Dhuum, as well as Balthazar's half brother Menzies"

At the end of the Nightfall campagin, Olias states: "Abaddon is dead. And I assure you, Grenth will not make the mistake that the other gods did. We will not hear from Abaddon again in this lifetime... or the next."

What this means about Dhuum is unclear, but it does bring up interesting questions.

It is revealed in the quest Don't Fear the Reapers that Dhumm is sealed in the Hall of Judgement in the Ice Wastes of the Underworld, and is actively trying to free himself.
