General Description
Dezrael is the twin brother of Leannan, and god of knowledge, chance, luck, trickery, laughter, entertainment, deception, discord, madness and secrets. He rules the season of Autumn and represents the ideal of Alteration, for without change nothing new would happen.
 
Forms
As the name “The One of a Million Faces” would suggest, Dezrael doesn't like to stick to an identifiable form when appearing in the mortal realm, preferring instead to just become anything he can think of at the time, no matter how incongruous or bizarre, such is the sense of humour of the god of mirth and trickery. He could be literally anything, from a flower petal to a flying book to a bizarre bird-monkey-fish hybrid to a headless Dragon to a pair of pink fluffy handcuffs to just about anything you can imagine, and many things you cannot. Dezrael has always been fond of keeping his followers on their toes in such ways. His true form, however, is much stranger, for it is a floating mirror, a sheet of liquid metal in a plain gold frame, the surface of which ripples as he speaks. Whoever looks into his surface will have their entire mind laid bare before them in their reflection - all their fears, desires, hopes, dreams, morals, vices, their entire personal history from the moment of their birth and every single possibility of who they could be and could have been in front of their face; as a result, they will either be driven mad by the overload of information or come to an enlightened deeper understanding of their inner self and come back changed for the better.

Divine Relics
The most famous (or rather infamous) of Dezrael's relics is The Deck of Many Things, a magical item which can give one the wealth of a king, make them fall in love... imprison them, destroy their lives, or straight up kill them, amongst dozens of other things depending on nothing but sheer dumb luck. Another is the Wabbajack, an ancient wizard's staff which, when used, will transmogrify anything the beam from it touches into a random animal or object.

On Orth
On Orth, Dezrael primarily operates upon Orth through manipulation and information, rather than acting outright. This is primarily done through The Hooded Man, who acts from the shadows to carry out Dezrael's whims.
