Pythus is a minor antagonist of the animated web series, Songs of War.
He is a the youngest son of King Chronos and the brother of Vulcannus. He is the tyrannical prince of the Nether, and a powerful fighter who slayed many warriors during the Great War.
Appearance[]
He is a Netheran, a race of humanoids native to the hellish Nether dimension, recognizable by their bright lava-colored patterns on their dark bodies. He wields a double-sided iron axe with a dent on one side, suggesting that he had fought in many battles.
Personality[]
Not much is known about his personality due to his limited screen time. During the scene when the Deathsinger approached King Chronos, Pythus stood next to the latter's throne, meaning he had a position of royalty. He also is shown to be an incredibly skilled fighter, as shown when he single-handedly defeated a legendary Enderknight in a duel.

Trivia[]
- Despite having very minimal appearances in Season 1, he was planned to have a much bigger role in the next two. In fact, he was even supposed to be the main antagonist of the series, overtaking the Deathsinger. His brief appearances foreshadowed the immense threat he would have become, especially through Abbigail's dream sequence. A lot more of his personality and character would have shown had Songs or War not been cancelled.
- He would be extremely aggressive and unhinged, often taking anger out on his own minions. Despite displaying clear signs of strength, he can show significant fear, especially when Ingressus threatened him.
- He would have murdered his father in disappointment for retreating back into the Nether during the Great War. He then crowned himself as the king of the Nether. This was foreshadowed when he wielded the Netherblade in Abbigail's dream.
- Pythus's brother, Vulcannus, was destined to be rightful ruler of the Nether, since the latter was able to wield both the Nether and Enderblades during a duel.

- He had no lines in Season 1.
