Ereshkigal (/eɪˈrɛʃˌki gɛl/ IPA) is the Sumerian Goddes of Death, supreme ruler of the Irkalla Galaxy and member of the Nine Gods.

Biography

Little is known about Ereshkigal. She’s feared in all the Nine Galaxies and well known in Hell, where she has a permanent emissary.

She is the sister of Inanna and has taken a keen interest in Noriko Null, sending Selene to either test her or kill her.

She attended an assembly of the Nine Gods at the Throne Of The Universe to judge Noriko Null’s actions, accepting to support her position if the mortal could recover the Dragon Tomb. Ereshkigal considered the task impossible, but kept her word when Null succeeded.

Null later discovered that Ereshkigal helped Kronos rise to power and that she was the one who ordered the creation of the Eden and was responsible for giving them the Nexus.

Notes

  • She is the polar opposite of her sister, both in color (black skin instead of white, white hair instead of black) and personality (evil and ruthless instead of playful and seductive)
  • She is considered the most powerful and dangerous of the Sumerian gods
