Ogun manifests as an invulnerable level-250 deity to punish his disobedient worshippers personally, exiling Paz from his grace and executing Anton after Carl intervenes.
Ogun arrives in a lightning strike moments after Yemaya re-ascends. He is the last surviving member of a dissipated old pantheon, an Ascendency contender, and an endless maker of armor designed for four-legged creatures.
He condemns Anton and Paz for restoring his sister to divine light despite their role in removing Asojano. Ines challenges his legitimacy and points toward Carl, but Ogun Shelves her for six minutes and continues.
Ogun heals Paz only to pronounce permanent punishment: loss of grace, loss of the ability to heal his current condition, darkness after death, and no armor beyond the veil. Carl's Black Nimbus removes Anton from divine protection, so Ogun changes an intended matching punishment into immediate execution by stepping on his head.
He spares Carl out of respect for Emberus, insists that hierarchy and rules make him reasonable rather than evil, welcomes Yemaya back through Carl, and departs.
A muscular dark-skinned human-sized god with luminous white eyes, leather apron, shorts, tooth necklace, and an enormous war hammer.
Ogun is a personally punitive Ascendency god, former Orisha sibling, and potential celestial-throne contender.
