History

Aswang is the god of evil and ruler of the nether realm of Impiyerno, the lowest level of the Kasanaan underworld. He is also the younger brother of Bathala, the King of the Diwatas, and spent his time attacking his older sibling's extradimensional realm of Kaluwalhatian.

Aman Sinaya, Zuras, & Aswang attend the Council of Godheads

In modern times, Aswang (alongside Zuras of the Eternals and Aman Sinaya of the Diwatas) gathered amongst other gods in an undisclosed extradimensional realm to witness the Council of Godheads judge the worthiness of Phobos to become the next Olympian god of fear.
