Tuoni

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In Finnish mythology, Tuoni (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈtuo̯ni]) was the god of Tuonela (the underworld), and darkness personified. He was the husband of Tuonetar.[1] Their children included Kipu-Tyttö, Tuonenpoika, and Loviatar, who were divinities of suffering.[2] When in human form, he appears as an old man with three fingers on each hand and a hat of darkness.[3]
