Verrat

Verrat is the god of betrayal, intrigue, and secrets. Once a mortal man, Verrat was an archmage of incredible magical potency and dark appetites. Though he possessed nearly limitless wealth and power, Verrat's desire for more was insatiable. Like many wizards before and since, Verrat looked to undeath to prolong his search. He became obsessed with learning every conceivable bit of knowledge, and acquiring every ounce of magical power, stopping at nothing to attain even the tiniest fragment of arcane strength or most inconsequential bit of information.

His search was so great, in fact, that even the eternal unlife granted by lichdom wasn't enough to satisfy him, and his unrelenting hunger led him to even darker doors. Somehow, Verrat wrested a divine spark from the gods themselves in a ritual unknown even to the beings he stole it from. Taking that spark into himself, Verrat was not obliterated as the gods expected, but rather he achieved what only two other beings in the history of the multiverse have: he became a god.

Verrat remains a being of insatiable hunger for secrets. He demands that his followers seek out every possible piece of hidden knowledge to add to his collection. He also teaches them to hoard those secrets jealously, guarding them from all others so that they may be enjoyed by him alone.

Verrat's thirst for knowledge puts him at odds with Hermaeus Mora, as the alien god views the god-lich as an interloper in his domain. However, until Hermaeus Mora learns how Verrat stole his divinity, he will not take action against him, as the knowledge would be too delectable to die with its discoverer.
