Alandios, God of Knowledge

Description of character
Wisdom. Intelligence. Patience. Memory. Those are the words that define Alandios' personality. He takes no part, neither with gods or mortals - conflicts do not concern him, unless they go against knowledge itself. He gives secrets to those who will know how to use them, and councils to those who need them. Alandios is neutral at all times, and while he can be a generous god to some and a cruel one to others, he always has his reasons.

While Alandios is wise, he has been known to make mistakes - for there are secrets that are hidden even to the eyes of Gods, even to his eyes, and despite all of his knowledge, he is unable to read what the future holds. Still, such mistakes are rare and far between, and he corrects them whenever he is proven wrong - for giving false information is against his very nature. He is not always honest - but as he says, there is a good deal of difference between omitted truth and lies. He reveals what he believes needs to be revealed, and that is enough for him.

Alandios rarely manifests himself in the mortal realms, but he is always watching, always listening, always meddling. He will have a tendency to help everyone instead of choosing a specific party - his own form of neutrality. Winning his favor is hard and gaining rewards for it may be harder, but it is not impossible. He rarely considers morality when he makes his choices - wisdom is not about being good or evil, it is about making the right choices at the right time. The best observers are those who do not intervene, and he generally respects that mindset when he is faced by a conflict. That belief leads to few friends, but it also ensures that one has few enemies.
