  Vanth Dreadstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanth Dreadstar was a comic book character created by Jim Starlin, originally introduced in Epic Illustrated magazine, in a storyline called "Metamorphosis Odyssey" which ran in the first eight issues, and which culminated with the destruction of the Milky Way galaxy..
Vanth's story begins as a teenager, when he had to witness the brutual slaying and devouring of his parents at the hands of snow beasts (later described as snow bears).
Vanth leapt at the chance that there might be a plan to destroy the Zygoteans; though he was shaken when Aknaton revealed the exact nature of the plan to him and the others.

 Vanth, Etruscan Goddess of Death--Death goddess Underworld goddess charun vanth earth goddess demoness Etruscan Goddess ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Vanth is an Etruscan Goddess of the Underworld, perhaps a psychopomp, whose presence indicates recent or impending death.
Another part of Vanth's particular iconography is Her outfit: peculiarly Her own, it consists of a short gathered or pleated skirt that is doubly belted (once underneath and then again over the folded-down part), short hunting boots, and nothing above the waist save a band or baldric that crosses between Her breasts.
Though the significance and exact order of this initiation scene is still a matter of debate, the presence of Vanth or a Vanth-like figure may relate to Her old function as a Death-Goddess or Psychopomp: for initiation is symbolically seen as dying to one's old way of life to be reborn into the new.

 Vanth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Etruscan mythology, Vanth was a goddess who lived in the underworld called Aita and depicted with eyed wings, which supposedly symbolized omni-presence.
On the sarcophagus of Laris Pulena, she is depicted in duplicate, one on either side of the central figure who is presumed to be Laris Pulena himself.
In art, she is illustrated with serpents, torchs and keys and is often accompanied by Charun, god of the underworld.
