Thron
A spirit-wolf in primordial times, Thron was one of the most powerful of his kind. He was known as the Prince That Howls, and he traveled the wilds of Golarion howling praises to life, love, and song. He had many mates and sired many more spirit-creatures, but two of his offspring transcended the power of spirits and became true deities—the goddess Shelyn and the god Dou-Bral.12
But the half-siblings squabbled, and after one of these fights Dou-Bral departed the Universe to wander the dark places beyond the planes.34 Upon his return, Shelyn offered forgiveness to her half-brother, who instead pierced her with his claws. When she offered forgiveness again,4 the being who was once Dou-Bral wrapped his father in razor-sharp chains, silenced Thron's songs, and dragged him back to his lair as a plaything.14
Over time, Thron's mind, body, and soul were stripped from him, and he now serves his sadistic master as his son's herald—the Prince in Chains.34 This shocking betrayal of their father turned Shelyn against Zon-Kuthon and incited another conflict between the siblings during which Shelyn was able to wrest the Whisperer of Souls from Zon-Kuthon.14
