"Interesting fae trake on the Trickster God archetype, with the magical and tactical mastery that comes along, with an apparent lack of morality balanced by multiple redeeming features. Well done !"

Thanks for that, DYBAD. He's an expy of Loki with some aspects of Doctor Doom thrown in for good measure. Glad to see this mix has been appreciated. He doesn't lack morality, DYBAD. He has this personal code of morals that won't ever cross, but he does do some pretty evil stuff.

For example: He'd lead you into harm for some laughs, but he'd make sure you'd get out alive and with only minor injuries. Afterwards, he'd show some great Fae hospitality and shower you with gifts and apologize. Tricksters, man.

"On the contributive side, I get the feeling "Elder Gods" would be more suited (remember seeing it in various non-Lovecraftian mythologies for deities predating the current official pantheons),"

I was a bit iffy about the name. I'll change it now. I never really liked it. Besides, Elder Gods make more sense bceause of "Elder Magic". :P

"I'm not sure a Lawful alignment woud really suit a character built on the ideas of trickery and deceit (they are almost always Chaotic by nature), unless some special in-universe factor changes the equation."

I'm not quite sure about his alignment myself, actually. I only picked Lawful Evil out of desperation. But there are some merits to it. He runs a kingdom based on the ideals of truth and law, despite those going against what he represents as a Faery God. He even has a personal code of conduct, along with standard Faery law, that he follows, which I'll make a personal data section for later on. Inside of his kingdom, he's a figure of law, the highest authority there is. And he legitimately cares about all of them.

But you're right, he's also a trickster, ordering the drows and other dark faery creatures (but they can't lie like he can) to follow his trickster ways outside of the kingdom.He routinely makes pawns of other fae that aren't part of his kingdom. He's a manipulator and he knows this, often causing chaos and havoc for the other Fae. But he doesn't break the most sacred rules of the Fae nor does he cross any personal line. Honestly, I'm not sure what side of the "Law vs Chaos" he belongs on.
