Born to Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) and twin brother of Hypnos (Sleep), Thantos was the daemon personifcation of death or the non-violent god of death.  He is, however, depicted as being merciless and indiscriminate, hated by - and hateful towards - mortals and deathless gods. 

[…] but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods.
