02 — Personality
Lazarus is generally a cold, aloof man during his day to day life.
He's quite patient and despite spending so much time near people, he never really forms attachments to them. Although it's quite hard to tell he silently delights when karma strikes, and those who have annoyed him get what they deserved.
He despises touch and proximity with others unless he is the one to initiate it. He's controlling and likes to be in charge of whatever situation he's put in. Sometimes, when aggressive he tends to snap, loosing any dignified composure he has, choosing to lash out and throw insults like a petty drunk.

03 — Background
Part I
Lazarus had always been the keeper of limbo, and of heaven and hell. Ever since he formed that was his job, and he did it well. Or at least until more and more souls began showing up to his realm intoxicated and sick with lust. These were otherwise good people, but their addictions had cause their lives to spiral out of control.
A little unsettled, and saddened by the sight of all those souls, Lazarus began to search for the cause of this. He didn't have to look far, and quickly met the new god who was the source of the addictions; Dionysus.
Part II
Lazarus was furious by the audacity of this newcomer, and made his anger well known, but was quickly calmed down. Dionysus had such a way with his words that he managed to pacify him in less than 10 minutes. His strange, hypnotic aura had Lazarus hooked, and soon enough he too became part of the god's domain.
Part III
Lazarus's addiction grew worse and worse, leading to him slacking on his godly duties. Souls were funneled into limbo and soon enough the realm was overpopulated.
Hera and Hestia, the seraphims responsible for the upkeep of heaven were infuriated by this, and banished Lazarus, keeping him in his own realm until something was done. But Lazarus had friends in powerful places, and this was all his trigger happy allies needed to start a revolution, demanding he be reinstated.
Heaven was ripped apart, sending gods to earth and leaving the place in disarray, souls continuing to overflow into limbo.
Part IV
Lazarus's exile was lifted, but by then he preferred to remain in his limbo, only venturing out occasionally to see Dionysus or update himself about the state of heaven.
