The Distant Prince is an eternal god[1] described as both merciless[2] and all-powerful[3]. He acts through his harbingers. The Prince and his court move with apparently huge thunderstorms.
He seems to have a close relation to The Woman from Italy, and they together seem to have the same interest in human pain and suffering. As all gods, the Distant Prince came form the Mudwomb.
