Nyarlathotep

Nyarlathotep is one of a number of unconfirmed beings of madness called the Great Old Ones. He/it is the only one that has been confirmed. The being in the Haiti incident is believed to be one as well, but no name was ever attached. Nyarlathotep is among the confirmed dark powers that must be watched for.
Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are described in the mad writings as exiled to stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Hastur, or sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms, most of these reputed to be maddeningly horrific. Most of the Outer Gods have their own cults serving them; Nyarlathotep seems to serve these cults and take care of the deities' affairs in their absence. Most of the gods use strange alien languages, but Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. The other Outer Gods and Great Old Ones are often described as mindless or unfathomable rather than truly malevolent, but Nyarlathotep delights in cruelty, is deceptive and manipulative, and even cultivates followers and uses propaganda to achieve his goals.
Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of Azathoth, his father, whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep. It is suggested by some that he will destroy the human race and possibly the Earth as well. Brian Lumley described him as the emanation of various Great Old Ones and not an actual being, thus explaining his variety of forms and functions.
The one incident known was a breakout in Maine in 2006. It was contained by Favel Randers and Therilan, His heroic action was the main reason he was given US Citizenship so quickly.
