I'm totally for Makhleb's move further in this direction. Ignacio
being a Makhleb worshipper would be awesome. Likewise, we could also
tweak Grinder's flavour considerably to meet whatever flavour we end
up with for Makhleb.

I seem to recall that there was previous flavour making Makhleb the
God of Hell: if there is still this flavour lying around, perhaps we
could incorporate it -- making the hell lord lieutenants of Makhleb,
or at least exalted followers? I'm not too sure how it would work in,
but I've always felt that our Hell mythology wasn't as full as it
could be.
