Yog-Sothoth

The Gatekeeper, the Key & Gate, the Hidden One, the Unsleeping One. Yog-Sothoth might just be the Eldritch Being with the most names given to him by Occultists (which is saying something). He is a darklit entity who exists just outside of our universe. 
According to mainstream Gnostic belief, Yog-Sothoth is actually locked out of our universe and can only enter our material plane of existence for short spats of time when he is summoned from within. 
== Facts: ==
-Yog-Sothoth is the Outer God most strongly imbedded within the Occult community. This is because of his general nature and activity, namely that he is the Great Observer who sees all and knows all that goes on (in our universe). Category:Eldritch
-Many Gnostics posit that just as Azathoth is supremely powerful, so Yog-Sothoth is supremely knowledgeable. 
-Because of his immense breadth of knowledge, Gnostics and Occultists often swarm to join the ranks of his acolytes. And in return for invocation into our cosmos, Yog-Sothoth is willing to part with some of his knowledge. 
-As Eldritch generally go, Yog-Sothoth is actually quite benign. He traffics with human Occultists and Gnostics, even going so far as to broker deals with them in return for knowledge and insight. However, Yog-Sothoth is still an Outer God, and does not see humans or the other races of this universe as his equals. 
-Yog-Sothoth is the grandson of Azathoth via the Nameless Mist, and is himself the grandfather of mighty Cthulhu. 
-When manifesting within our cosmos, Yog-Sothoth takes the form of a nebulous cloud of lights. 
-Yog-Sothoth is a patron of Occultists and maintains a strong presence in the Occult Underground. He hosts many cults and religious movements and has a large chunk of the Order of Gnostics dedicated to himself specifically. 
-Yog-Sothoth exists outside of our space-time universe, but is said to have the power to influence space and time itself. 
-The House of Whateley, a branch of the Great Families whose origins lie with the Gnostic Order, is said to have been founded by Yog-Sothoth. The Whateleys reside in New England and are believed to be descendants of an occult union between a human female and an Avatar of Yog-Sothoth himself.
