...Unknown, very few have ever met him. This is including his parade of dozens of children, whom have each been born and basically left with [[Nyx]] to pile on top of each other and fend for themselves. Presumably there's something endearing in his mystery personality that inspires Nyx to happily stay with him as his wife and mother of his children throughout the past millennia, but she respects his mysterious privacy and won't ever share those details with you.. |

The children of Nyx and Erebus, by this time in the modern day, number presumably into triple digits. Their kids are responsible as daemon personifications for all sorts of "darker" traits and actions; they include entities of Death, Aging, Insanity, Sorrow, Decay, Nightmare, Sleep, Dream, and so on and so forth. [[Ker]], Goddess of Violent Death, and the first Death Incarnation, is one of their first born children. Nyx and Erebus have been spawning offspring since the dawn of time, and most of their children sprawling throughout the centuries either don't get along with each other, or have intermingled as their own couplings true to the nature of the Greek pantheon. Or both! The House of Nyx is a chaotic mess. |

For Erebus' own part in this, he has taken a notoriously absent role in the upbringing of his own children, in the sense that despite being ever present and always existing in the recesses of Nyx's own home, literally most of their children have never ''met'' Erebus. Nyx has never seemed to mind this, content to keep pairing with him to add babies on top of babies, and delusionally priding herself on their big happy household. |

The physical and emotional absence of Erebus as a parental figure plus Nyx's failings as a parental figure herself has impacted the adulthood and behavior of many of their children, particularly in reference to unhinged villain [[Thanatos]], who was able to prey on his own siblings unsupervised since toddlerhood. In fact, many of Erebus' children are inclined towards violence and general monstrous traits, which he... probably knows about? But has apparently not cared about enough to be present. The opinions of his children about him range from indifference to resentment. Again no one really knows how he feels about this, as his ''own'' opinions about his children seem to range from indifference to... apathy? Who knows. |
||
Erebus is an interesting type of absent father in that he is literally there all the time but not in any way that counts. |
