Kthanid

"*You know why I despise your hubris? It is because I have seen hubris lead to the downfall of others so many times. Stop acting like this. You may be a God, but that doesn't mean you're invincible. Hubris has led to my despising of humanity and so many other civilizations that can do good.*" - Kthanid to Hastur

**Kthanid, Dreamer-Brother,** is an Elder God and the current ruler of Heaven.

## History

Although Hastur and Cthulhu are half-brothers who are much more aligned in thinking, Kthanid is Cthulhu's full-brother. Kthanid and Cthulhu are completely parallel in their thoughts, but nonetheless respect one another. Kthanid was convinced to join the Lovecraftians when Cthulhu told him that his wishes to learn more of the universe and combat would be granted under his services as an Elder God, although the Lovecraftians do not follow Kthanid's more benevolent code toward combat, he is unable to deny that what he wanted in knowledge and better combat is granted under the Elder God's servitude and thus he is eternally indebted to the Daemon Sultan for granting him his wish. He was granted the Tulzscha Cestuses, which are the gauntlets of the Green Flame. When granted the opportunity, he was more than happy to serve as Heaven's ruler as he felt the angels of Heaven better suited his thought processes, and he has since then served as their ruler.

## Personality

Kthanid is a benevolent and merciful being, which is considered very atypical of most Lovecraftians. However, although the Daemon Sultan admits that he doesn't enjoy these characteristics, he was convinced of the utility of Kthanid by his brother Cthulhu. Kthanid often holds back on weaker opponents and is also sparing of those he believes should not be killed. In spite of this however, he is not unwilling to kill, especially when he is asked to.

## Physical and Mental Analysis

Rough analysis was done on Kthanid by Mech and Anthropos, here is what they've found:

* Although considered the most sparing of all Lovecraftians, like the rest of his Lovecraftian brethren, Kthanid does not like humans, seeing them as a greedy, self-destructive race due to prior experience with their kind in other universes. Unlike his Lovecraftian brethren however, he is open to the idea that they can change.
* He is the Lovecraftian's greatest hand-to-hand combatant and often clashes with Oni, enjoying his methodical style of combat, as opposed to the bloodthirsty method of fighting that most members of the Chaos pantheon fight with.
* Although Cthulhu and Kthanid tolerate each other, Kthanid does not like the demeanor his half-brother Hastur has, believing that Cthulhu should've been the leader of the Great Old Ones.
* Kthanid is not fond of those who fight with means other than their fists. He especially holds a great disdain for those who utilize magic.

## Relationships

Cthulhu (Positive) - Cthulhu and Kthanid are brothers and although their thinking is hardly aligned, Kthanid is indebted to Cthulhu for allowing him a spot on the Lovecraftians and allowing him his wishes to be fulfilled.

Oni (Negative) - Kthanid respects Oni as an opponent and in the way he fights, however, he hates Oni's ideals and like the rest of the Lovecraftians, despises the entirety of the Chaos pantheon, and this extends to Oni as well.

Nyarlathotep (Positive) - Although not typically fond of liars and magic users, Kthanid sees Nyarlathotep as a great leader and someone worthy of being the leader of the Lovecraftians. He also respects him as an educator of culture and linguistics and seeks him for counsel when it comes to understanding cultures.

Hastur (Neutral) - Kthanid is willing to work with Hastur as he has immense respect for all members of his family, but does not see him as fit to rule over the Great Old Ones, and also does not enjoy his hubris-riddled demeanor and unnecessary flashiness.

Daemon Sultan (Positive) - Kthanid owes the Daemon Sultan a great debt in spite of the fact he disagrees with him, due to his wishes of learning more about the universe and fighting being fulfilled thanks to him.

Sheol (Despised) - While all members of the Lovecraftians despise Sheol, Kthanid especially despises Sheol, and hates everything he stands for. According to Kthanid, Sheol is the embodiment of every terrible aspect within the Omniverse. When they fought, Kthanid was unwilling to hold back against him and did everything he could to beat him down.

Genesis (Negative) - Kthanid does not like magic-users and also disagrees with how Genesis sees himself. He believes that Genesis is, in spite of how he portrays himself, someone who encourages war for the sake of bringing down Sheol. While Kthanid despises Sheol, he believes Genesis is allowing the worst of himself to be brought out by Sheol and that Genesis and disagrees with his treatment of the people of the Dark.

Izanagi-no-Okami (Positive) - Kthanid does not believe opponents on the battlefield are incapable of being friends. He believes that although Izanagi uses swords, his principle of honor makes him an excellent teacher and leader and he believes that his beliefs toward study and training are astute beliefs.
