yukieI should have FIGURED there was something up with the guy.
In the KP!Verse he is the incarnation of the god Aldur.
Tenebrous!Verse he's Adriraja. I think he has the epithet al mualim (the teacher) in both places. Another one is aacaarya (teacher again with a connotation of spiritual adviser). Which one you use depends on which Kildean region you live in. XD The territory they as a whole (taking all the various clans together) occupied was HUUUUGE.
Both Aldur and Adriraja are scholar gods, scribes, mediators, and associated with both esoteric and scholastic knowledge and learning. One of the lessons from Thaeron (Adriraja/Aldur) is that enlightenment is a day to day journey and not an ultimate full-stop goal.
Attributed to him is the saying "Nothing is absolute [Kildean does not parse over completely here; this has a connotation of 'nothing is real forever'], everything is possible."*
Another - one that seems specifically meant to dissuade students from getting stuck up in their own heads - is "Questions are not necessarily there to be answered, but possibly there to inspire thinking."
He does seem to delight in driving people a little bit crazy, and he's not one to hand out answers if they're reachable by the querant. He will aid seekers, but he's a teacher; the solutions come AFTER one tries.
He's odd in that he remains neutral in the midst of pantheon slapfights. All other deities are his family, after all; you don't raise a hand to family unless you absolutely must. (This is incidentally the reason why neither the fae nor the mazoku get involved in such fights - the gods are 'elder siblings', the first children of their parents the universal yang and yin (Lord and Lady). That and there are obligations and such on both sides.)
He's associated with the colour blue, owls, libraries (his realm is apparently the biggest damned cosmic library ever - likely it encompasses the Akashic records as well, and the dead languages forming the library of Erebos), the stone lapis lazuli.
Blah blah more of this to come later XD
*This is the actual meaning of the Arabic quote in Assassin's Creed, namely "A'shaia wak akla mukla bel kullukum mumkin"; the game parses it as 'nothing is true; everything is permitted' which according to a native speaker isn't totally correct.
