Bhaal is the God of Murder from the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons. Patron god of Assassins, his holy symbol is a skull or skull-like dessicated face surrounded by nine blood droplets forming a counter-clockwise circle around it.

Bhaal was once a mortal, a brutal assassin who, alongside Bane and Myrkul, was part of the Dead Three, epic level evil adventurers who sought to slay Jergal, Faerun's original god of Strife, Death and the Dead. Instead, the world-weary and jaded deity willingly abdicated; after a game of knucklebones, each took one third of Jergal's portfolio. Bhaal took the portfolio of death, becoming the lord of all murderers and assassins.

Officially, Bhaal got killed off at the end of 1e as part of the Avatar Trilogy tie-in novels event. This was used to explain why the Assassin class got removed in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons/2e; when Bhaal died, all of Faerun's assassins were oblitered as part of the backlash.

Bhaal is the keystone of the excellent AD&D videogames known as the Baldur's Gate trilogy, in which you play one of the mortal heirs Bhaal created to ultimately resurrect him with, a trick that Bane also succeeded at pulling off. It just took some time for it to work.
