Father Wind was worshipped by the People of the Wind, a human tribe on the Bael subcontinent.[1]
In Return of the Crimson Guard
For a time, Father Wind was a prisoner of the warlock Shen at his fortress on Bael. Shen used the sleeping god like a battery, sapping his power to enhance his own. The Crimson Guard unknowingly awoke the god when they killed Shen to fulfill a contract. The Guard's High Mage and chief assassin Cowl killed Father Wind in the confrontation that followed.[2]
