In Finnish mythology, Tuoni (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈtuo̯ni]) was the god of Tuonela (the underworld), and darkness personified. He was the husband of Tuonetar. [1] Their children included Kipu-Tyttö, Tuonenpoika, and Loviatar, who were divinities of suffering. [2] When in human form, he appears as an old man with three fingers on each hand and a hat of darkness. [3]
