The Hym seems to me like a Wendigo. North American folklore spirit of revenge and justice of sorts - a twisted dark spirit that grows from greed (which actually contradicts the Hyms nature, since the brother who died was not the greedy one) - and becomes cannabalistic in nature. I have only just encountered this creature now and was searching for Wendigo and instead found its called a Hym. But regardless - it seems exactly like a Wendigo in many respects - elongated shadowy figure with horns - born of a greed and murder related incident.

I know the series writer draws from more European centric folklore - but this reminds me just way too much of the Wendigo.
