Overview
"And so, the Gods descended from the heavens, as they came down to form paradise. Just as a sculptor brings forth their masterpiece from a lump of clay, the divine touch of the Gods brought forth paradise from the Void. Each God played a pivotal role in creation, blessing us with many gifts…and necessary evils. We give ourselves to the Gods, appeasing them in the hopes that they may continue to bless us with yet more gifts, and usher in eons of prosperity to come."
In the beginning, The Backrooms were home to many powerful beings, each commanding an aspect of reality. They were as close as family, but that all changed after humans first entered The Backrooms. These siblings had reigned as gods over the humans, until they were overthrown and their alliance was fractured. Today, many of the "gods" are corrupted, dead or isolated, but they may soon be reunited against a force which threatens their entire home, and all its inhabitants alike.
The Pantheon is one of the more esoteric interpretations of the Backrooms, shedding light on its metaphysical nature and the forces at work behind it. At the center of its narrative are siblings whose relationships with each-other transcend time and space. Although this story may be one of Gods, there is an undeniably human element to it. Its themes are of legacy, purpose, betrayal, heartbreak, reconciliation, and more.
The Pillars and their Avatars
Savi'nex
Justice
Argos
"And together, with my vision and your passion, we shall achieve True Justice."
Argos has appeared throughout the ages, and to a variety of collectives, as the embodiment of what they conceived of as Justice. As judge, jury and executioner, he is the retribution incarnate, and all those who have committed heinous crimes fear being marked as his next prey, for the only way out of this fate is death.

"Embodiment Of The Unity Of Life And Death, The Sun Of Hellfire, Surrounded By The Gentle Darkness."

"Life Is Brilliant… It Enchants Us With Its Endless Beauty And Cruelty. What Will The Future Hold? Will We Be Rewarded In This Tortured World With No Prizes? My Soul Goes On Believing."
A lost soul granted with power and knowledge, enemy of all so-called Gods who threaten the humanity, and bound to his eternal goal to find the exit from the Backrooms. The Undertaker, who inherited Lilith's Fire and Dark, memorializes all the dead and gives them their final send-off.

Ver'itas/The Truth of Existence
Truth
"For them, nothing was more precious than Truth; even grains of it were incomparably significant when seen in the context of a desert of darkness."
Enigmatic, powerful, and absolute. The avatars of Truth come and go like the tides against the shoreline, as the being has continued in a cyclical existence of creation, fragmentation, coalescence, and destruction.

Ægap’h
Love
Philia
"Love exists within most living beings, I have observed all shapes of it, the positive and negative sides, the happiness and the grief caused from it, and I will continue to do so eternally, because it is the sole reason I exist, to observe and to continue this purpose for as long as one may still feel Love in their heart."
Philia is the direct reflection of the Pillar of Love, they have existed from the very beginning, taking different forms, forms of deities closer to human knowledge in order to observe them from a closer perspective. They are known to feel unconditional love towards any being, God or human, thinking being and mindless being, their Love and care is never ending, caring for most in a motherly way never expecting others to show the same. Yet, they are incapable of handling anything else other than those warm emotions that are part of Love, if they were to experience too much sorrow, the heartbreak would be too unbearable to go through.
CURRENT STATUS: Alive

Olivia Bellerose
"Sacrifice is the biggest part of Love, the more one loves the more one will suffer, because one will sacrifice everything for love, even if it means falling apart and losing who they once were, sacrificing everything to protect those that are loved, no matter the price. That is the power that Love has over a mind."
She was once a human who loved too much, and that same Love caused suffering and grief many times in her life. During the brink of death she showed resilience in persisting to live, for the love she felt towards others, that burning determination to protect and to maintain a promise. She did not die that day, but she did not live either, she is now trapped in a prison of her own conscious, but once she will be reborn, she will become part of Love once more, and her future will be chosen by her own hands, instead of the hands of fate.

However, Paris did not escape unscathed, for he is now the Pillar Scribe, the second avatar of Terminus, tasked with transcribing all forbidden knowledge imparted to him.

Kuri'mas
Creation
Icarus Procidens
"Choices are some of the worst things that can happen to a man. One mistake can cause him eternal regret, anguish, and sorrow. The thought of 'if only' plagues his mind, constantly bombarding him with fantasies of what could have occurred, had things gone differently. The wonder when his decisions will catch up to him will eat at his mind until he finally loses control. All the power in the world, but still too little to do the one worthwhile thing you wish it could provide."
Following a deadly battle with Claudius, Augustus turned from a beautiful angel into a fallen God of incomprehensible form who now remains eternally trapped in the fire of the deepest point within TH3 SH4DY GR3Y. This being, also known as Icarus Procidens, often projects a corporeal apparition of himself across the Backrooms to escape his unimaginable fate, even if only temporarily. The appearance of his apparition is unknown, as anyone who ever encounters Icarus does not remember the event. Various murals of a dark, shadowy figure and maniacal laughing from behind the bars of Level 3 are perhaps the only thing left of what Icarus once was.

The Conductor is a single being split into multiple personalities, the most prominent among them being Ozkon and J. Nesko, who are respectively responsible for the creation of the Onslaught Station and Neon Shuffle. They were eventually slain by the Iron Fist.
Val
"I’ve always strived to create memories for people. Sometimes, that comes in the form of a cozy place to call home. Other times, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. I just hope these people can experience what I never got: acceptance."
Val was once a human who was suffering trough a world that wanted them dead, but they had noclipped into the Backrooms at 18 and were crowned as an Avatar of Kuri’mas. They had spent years not knowing the circumstances of their new power, and it had lead to tragic accidents that caused them to isolate for three years. Despite the unimaginable hardships they've been through, they have moved past their struggles and repaired what was lost to them. They now watch over Level 304, reforming it in the hopes that it may become a safe haven to all.

Destruction
Null-06
"His path of destruction knows no bound nor limit, as the very stars tremble in fear before him."
Singularis was the living embodiment of destruction, standing as the Foe of Creation. Despite his seemingly dichotomous and intelligent mind, he frequently fell prey to vices of wrath. As such, he opposed the rest of the Pantheon’s desire to create their paradise. This ultimately led to a battle with Claudius, in which he was slain and collapsed into a black hole. A statue in his likeness resides in The Grave.

Fengári
"For the sake of reality I must remain empty, for the sake of everyone's lives I must remain intact, pure, and devoid of corruption. There is no freedom for me, no freedom from this endless prison of nothing, but it must be done."
The prisoner of thoughts, the one who must keep the balance stable, the one who never had a choice. They live isolated, wishing to put an end to their never ending suffering and nothingness, but there is no freedom for Gods. Never.

Two-Faced
Stupor
Y'liad Elyion
"… It was in that moment of wellnigh death… that I perfected My Sword and… unleashed… upon My near-equal, a form that… not even I could have divined… "Vanish", he called it… as he fell unto white grass… he earned respect even in death…"
Y'liad Elyion, the profaned lord of a carcass-turned cosmos. In his former world, he was crowned as "Paramount-King-of-All-Kings-atop-Greymount" and eventually became known as "The Greyking" by those who survived his conquest of stupor. In the Lost, he is called "Y'liad the Malevolent", "Y'liad the Putrid", "Y'liad, Sword Saint Unworthy", "Y'liad the Unkingly", "Y'liad the Vilest", and more after the Massacre in the Fifty-first Domain, where he is forever remembered as a slaughterer in their history. The Greyking appears as a long-haired, tall, pale man, cloaked in an ashen blue royal robe, who wields a silver sword—a guise hiding pale flesh—but other manifestations include a bearded old king, a faceless abomination in royal attire, and Death itself. He is a master combatant by heart despite his atrocious crimes, only allowing his spare time to train and spar with all varieties of weapons. He is skilled the most in swords, next spears, and then bows. One of the most inactive members in the Pantheon.

V'aielstignad Elyion
"I am true oblivion; still and everlasting. I gnaw and desecrate all that breathes until naught but their living ashes stain the very air they so desperately seek. I am unending torment that will birth the spawns of insensibility until all remaining are ground into useless, living grey meat."
V'aielstignad Elyion the Newborn; V'aielstignad Elyion the Trueborn. Brother of Y'liad Elyion the Bastard. Created in the name of his flesh father, Two-Faced, to instill the true meaning of Stupor into flesh, mortal or divine. He inherits oblivion within his very being, and true mastery of the accursed Greyflesh of his family. Near-mindless, yet awake as his own bastard brother, he speaks solely of his existence as a fulfillment of his father's cause to perpetuate Stupor into eternity. No unnecessary thought plagues his mind apart from his duty of bringing all living flesh under the influence of insensibility to strengthen what remains of his father's authority in all of the realms. To ensure this, he is granted absolute domination over Greyflesh, besting that of his brother, Y'liad Elyion. He was solely made to be the catalyst of stagnancy in the realms, the potentate that will bring all flesh to heel under his name. Now, he sets foot in this realm to bring an end to his brother's false reign, an end to a false Stupor.

"Soon, you'll see what nightmares will be unleashed, and I will remain, holding the keys to the kingdom."
Gatekeeper was the original god of Access who reigned alongside the rest of the Pantheon in ancient times. Pure and absolute in his rule, he never wavered from his purpose. However, as man began to turn against the Gods, his heart hardened, and he became cruel. Gatekeeper was ultimately poisoned and killed by his own followers. He was then infused into his own cloak by his oversoul, forced to seek out the most compatible host to wear the cloak and bear the title of The Keymaster.
