Baatezel

Baatezel is the Fiendish Aspect of Lies, Murder, and Plots. He is the patron deity of assassins, murderers, and thieves.
Baatezel's avatar appears as a tall, lithe humanoid with grey-green skin, and long, straight black hair that shrouds his face. Two short black horns that curve directly upwards poke out from his hair, and points of menacing orange light can be seen emanating from where his eyes might be. He wears a coat of jet black studded leather armor, sometimes accompanied by a cloak of the same darkness. However, when his cloak is removed, his most striking and terrifying feature is revealed—his arms. Tens of thousands of writhing humanoid arms sprout from his back, all reaching and grasping seemingly for something just beyond their reach. Although these arms are obviously finite in man-made depictions of Baatezel, it is said that in person they are without limit, and trying to count them or focus on how many there are can drive a man mad. He also sometimes takes the form of a great orange-chitined mantis, or a cloud of living darkness.
