I can't think of a specific sin associated with Thanatos, since he was the daemon of death in general.
Possibly we'll have to figure out his sin through the storyline...

Here's the Wikipedia on Thanatos, of course.

Interesting bit: Thanatos appears in the 'Secret of Mana' videogame as a sorcerer:

Wait.

Everything is signed T.S. Thanatos' Sin.

Could we be dealing with the result of whatever Project Thanatos is? Seems to me, that'd be the key to understanding this.

Also, Thanatos is used in early Christian writings to discuss the sleep of death and subsequent resurrection in Christ. Something to think about.

EDIT: The website has Thanatos spelled backward. Sotanaht. I wonder if there's any significance there, maybe a hint to what this guy aims to do. The reversal of death? Zombies? The reversal of whatever Project Thanatos wanted to do? Just throwing some things out there.

Here's a Wikipedia page listing many more cultural references to "Thanatos"

This concept of "Villain Training" sounds up the Marvel character Taskmaster's alley.

11... as in... today, being March 11 ?
Whereas the previous mention of 12 seemed to hint at March 12th?

I know: too simple to be right, right?

Upon first glance, they could be page numbers. I heard that 'graphic novel' type media may be associated with this ARG.

This villain, whoever he is, could be killing off the twelve Olympian gods. "Eleven down, one to go."

Nothing on the site changed at midnight EST (GMT-5)

This seems to indicate that Thanatos isn't operating on the East Coast. Anybody game for waiting until 3:00AM to see?

West coast here. I'll check in a few minutes. Nothing yet though (11:54)

*EDIT - 12:11 and still nothing. Maybe we have a lazy villain here. Or one not in the Americas.

i'm gonna guess that since he only posted it it two hours ago,
it's gonna be about 24 hours from then.

He posted about 24 hours ago.

Its 3:30 PST and still no update.

my vote is on lazy villains.

Updated!

Looks like he is accepting a minimum of 9 villain candidates (number signifies something?).
"
Mission 1
Mask Yourself

If you want to be a villain then you have to look like one.
This first mission will have you masked up.

Download the masks by clicking here
The zip file contains 9 graphic masks with a transparent background (.png format, 200�200 pixels).
I want you to apply a mask to a personal photo and have your digital self look like a masked villain.

You are free to further customize the masks to your personal taste.
I need at least 9 villains to send a masked photo to masks[at]sotanaht[dot]com
Be aware that your fellow villains will see your photo.

Two rewards will await you."
