Hel was once the leader of a barbaric group of nomadic conquerers named "The Expellers". The were ruthless and powerful. Every town that was in their path was looted and destroyed. Male captives were given two options, join or be killed. Female captives were taken as slaves. Hel believed that chaos was the key to an invigorating life. He thought that by spreading chaos, a person became stronger and happier. The more a person killed, the more prestige that he was given. Hel encouraged his underlings to fight for positions of power and held his own position by killing all challengers.

As he grew older, he found it more difficult to maintain power. His most trusted shaman gave him the power to be reincarnated after death. Four men challenged Hel for leadership, but he warned them that he'd be back for revenge if the beat him. He killed the first two, but the third managed to deliver a mortal wound. Hel was reincarnated as a larger and younger man. He regained his position of power and the cycle continued for five lifetimes. He eventually grew tired of the repetition and went on a quest for immortality.

Assuming that Hel died on his quest, the tribe continued to war with it's neighbors. Then one day, a shaman claimed to be a representative of the immortal Hel and he challenged for leadership of the tribe. The strongest men attacked him one at a time, but the shaman had strange powers that enabled him to win. Before long, the entire tribe was once again devoted to Hel and worked to cause as much death and chaos as possible. They were promised immortaility through reincarnation as long as they made Hel happy.

To this day, Hel worshippers still roam the world, killing and disrupting life. They kill and disrupt order with the hope that Hel will favor them by reincarnating them after they die. The alternative is endless suffering in Hel's hands or eternal death. The worship of Hel is rare enough that it is not illegal in most areas yet.
