Hel

Also known as Hela or the Two-Faced Terror, Hel is the daughter of Loki and Angrboda in Norse mythology. She is the goddess of the unheroic dead who presides over her namesake realm Helheim. Her appearance is described as being half flesh-colored, just like a living human being, and half blue. Some people interpret her appearance as half alive and half dead, depicting her with skeletal features. We chose this complex blend that is half smoky and half spicy in honor of the Two-Faced Terror.
