In Chinese Mythology, Yan Luo is the god of death and the ruler of hell (Feng-Du). The name Yan Luo is a shortened Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit term Yama Raja .
His personification is always male, and his minions include a judge who holds in his hands a brush and a book listing every soul and the allotted death date for every life. Bullhead and Horseface, the fearsome guardians of hell, bring the newly dead, one by one, before Yan Luo for judgment.
