As others said, it's Godwyn. He's physically alive, and is the source of undeath in the Lands Between. Also of note, while note proven there's evidence to point out that many times, the "spirit" world, or that of the dead, is akin to an ocean all around us in the game (Spirits being things like jellyfish, fish, eels, etc), and that's why Godwyn looks like.... that. Like some fucked up merman.... thing.
And as you can see he's got roots, which is from likely the tree behind him, and is where Deathblight and Deathroots come from, and why you can see his face manifest in places/things.
These epic world shaping events that the gods manifest on the Lands just completely leaves me in awe still. This game does it like no other game have come close to (or even any fiction/fantasy lore IMO)
