Bazerok

Bazerok is a dark deity well known among sorcerers, one of the most powerful in the pantheon of darkness, he is a source of dark power and guardian of the secrets and mysteries of the immaterial world. He is a very serious god and requires a little caution because he is a very old and very demanding god, he is usually linked to Kalikano but he can be worshiped separately.

## Characteristics

He is portrayed as a bipedal being with the head and feet of a goat, has sharp nails and in some cases is depicted with bat wings or black feathered wings, with red eyes and a mesmerizing gaze. His garments are described as refined and elegant, most often wearing purple, navy blue or black, but never in light colors, it is common to portray him wearing a dark color like the night sky, with bright white dots that look like shining stars. Bazerok may or may not appear to a person in his original form, just as he may appear in human appearance, above suspicion, he may even give warnings to his followers in the guise of an ordinary person, without them ever finding out that they spoke to Bazerok, however he never changes his goat eyes, when he assumes a human form he usually wears dark glasses or a top hat to hide his eyes.

He always carries a book with him, this is the book of darkness or the forbidden book, containing all the spells that were forbidden to witches and that only he has access to and it is his responsibility to protect this book and the contents inside it, it houses spells and powers of great magnitude and which could cause chaos if it fell into the wrong hands.

## Origin

No one knows where he came from, or where he goes, but there are countless reports of a mysterious being who appeared at night in forests and wandering near villages in the Middle Ages, a horned being that was never seen clearly, a darkness always it surrounded him but I could see only his silhouette and the red glow of his eyes. It is not sure which people worshiped him, apparently his cult was very restricted and not widespread, very few people could deal with Bazerok, that until a medieval peasant named Haider Doyle discovered the cult of this being. Haider had a daughter who suffered from an illness unknown at the time, she was frail and fainting and suffered from high fevers, Haider then met a strange gentleman, never saw him around the village, but he said he knew a pagan deity who could help him , Haider refused, he would not engage in sorcery and "demons".

During the night, Haider could not sleep due to his worries, he looked out the window at the dark sky and the vast pitch that surrounded the place, when looking from a distance he saw a red light, it seemed to be a bonfire among the trees in the forest there. Nights passed and every night that glow was there, until one day Haider was walking through that place, the exact place where the light came from, he didn't find a fire or anything related, but soon he noticed goat footprints, but not a trail of footprints, it was just a couple there on the ground, it seemed to be facing towards Haider's house, so as he walked deeper into the forest he found such a mysterious man, Haider desperate for help, he was willing to do anything to save his daughter, when asking what needed to be done, that man just told him to meet him in the same place when darkness came. The night came and Haider went to meet the man, at the place Haider waited, in a moment a great black mist appeared and from it appeared a being of more than two meters, with a goat's head holding a book, he and the divinity did a deal, the dark being would cure his daughter and in return he wanted devotion, Haider would have to retrace the cult by his lineage, his cult is believed to have only lived on in one family, which would later reach the witches, who would try to invoke such a deity that they called him by the name of Bazerok.
