Shiva - Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light

A character based on the classic science fiction novel "Lord of Light", by Roger Zelazny. The novel is about a group of near-immortals who have fashioned themselves after mythological Hindu characters, until one of them chooses to change the status quo...

I've always envisioned him to be the "silent but deadly" type, not unlike Boba Fett of the original Star Wars trilogy.

This character is not to be confused as a depiction of the traditional Hindu god.
