The Traveler

The Traveler (a.k.a. Giver of Gifts)

The Traveler, titled "The Sovereign of Chaos and Change" and in some lands known as the Giver of Gifts, is a chaotic neutral or unaligned deity of The Dark Six.
The Traveler presides over the portfolios of chaos, deception, evolution, invention, and transformation; or influences the areas of change, cunning, deception, and innovation; or oversees the provinces of change and chaos. It has an aspect as a god of artifice and artificers.
The most mysterious of all the gods, the Traveler is believed to be a supreme shapeshifter and trickster, a virtuoso of deceit and craftiness, a creator of things, and a bringer of knowledge. However, it is also said to be impulsive and unpredictable. The Traveler is thought to look favorably on those who use their wits or are resourceful and to disapprove of those who begged for safety and care or for unearned gifts.
Legends say that alone among the gods, the Traveler walks the land with a thousand faces, in body, and in spirit, but no mortal will pierce its perfect disguise. The Traveler's true nature is one of the great mysteries, and even its gender is unknown: it's referred to as "it", not "he" or "she", but "he" has sometimes been used.
Either way, it has been depicted with a laughing face. Although the Traveler is known as the Giver of Gifts, a famous proverb advises to "Beware the Giver of gifts, the Traveler. That is, they can have strings attached or unexpected results."
