I've described him as the god of Fascism recently.
Since the dead 3 are major elements in my game.
They killed his avatar level 10, Mykuls one was 9. Bhaal was supposed to be 11 but will be 12.
In previous editions I've used a bit of nuance. Eg a LN Banite knight that failed to detect as evil to a Paladin.
They couldnt conveniently attack her and she referred to the Paladin as a fool lol. That was 3E a LN cleric of Bane could be a target of smite or detect evil iirc.
One of the Harper books had a redeemable Banite as well (Finders Bane iirc).
But yeah he's Evil capital E along with Shar and Myrkul/Bhaal.
Once Upon a Time in the Realms of the Time Before Time:
Bane Said: Not again! It won’t happen again!«Eyes ablaze with uncontrolled fire, the god sprayed bolts of lightning on all who cringed before him. Those that missed showered through the sky and onto the innocent and unsuspecting population of Faerun. Merchants, farmers, and mothers with small children ran for cover.»I’ve played by the rules. I’ve organized, I’ve attracted worshipers, I’ve even granted a few of them special privileges! I’m getting nowhere in this realm and I’m fed up.«The god slammed his fist on the arm of his throne. As he glared at those assembled around him, his eyes sent waves of fear among the creatures who looked on.
Something must be done! I will not lose one more worshiper! What is it going to take for those pathetic humans to respect and fear me? Any ideas?« he hissed.Those in the audience chamber cowered.
No one answered the lord, though they all knew someone was going to pay for the silence.
Boom!
A blast from a smoldering censer above the god’s head transformed seven high priests into piles of smoking ash. The aroma of burned incense overpowered the chamber.
Crackle!
Withering beams of darkness sprayed from the god’s hands and dissolved six huge pit fiends from the planes of Gehenna into swirls of dust rolling across the polished granite floor.
Ssst!
A splitsecond of concentration changed five of the god’s powerful evil wizards into pillars of salt in five different cities around the realm.The god ranted, shouted, raved. No creature in the chamber could escape the tirade.

Banes fate should probably be defeat under the ruins of Zhentil keep as crusaders of the Triad link up with forces from Western Heartlands/The north who have crossed Anauroch.
The can shake hands even on the river Tesh.
I admit it may be a bit on the nose.
Or Bane could kill them!
Kill Torm, Again...."This time pretty boy you stay dead"
As Illmater hurts himself more or whatever, Bane can slap him out of the way "You want to be the broken god, I'll snap you into 1000 pieces!"
Then as blind one handed Tyr limps over with his little hammer Ban can obliterate him and say "Justice is Severed!"
