Mask
Mask is the God of Thieves. He is a loner god most often associated with thieves or those of otherwise ill-repute.
Known for his constant scheming, cool head, and oft-reserved biting comment, he lost a significant portion of his power, the Intrigue Portfolio, to Lolth. This, of course, led to two things: an enduring hatred of Lolth, and the Lord of Shadows leading himself to be more direct than he was in his prior, elaborate plots.
Simply put, Mask is a loner. However, before this, he had frequent alliances with Bane. If nothing else, their sizable hatred of Lolth gave them common ground in addition to their history of working together. Mask is also at direct odds with Waukeen, the goddess of Trade. All guardians of light, knowledge, and duty were opposed to him.
Mask's faithful are led to believe that the god sees everything that happens in the dark and to trust it, as one would be made an easy target by walking into plain light. The abilities to deceive, as truth was a foolish virtue and manipulation was better than brute force, and to be dextrous were also appreciated. Whilst the faith advocated for accumulating riches, it also said to only steal what was necessary. They also believed that owning something simply required being in possession of it.
The worshipers of Mask state that wealth rightfully belonged to those who can acquire it. Honesty is for fools but apparent honesty is a very valuable thing, and subtlety is everything.
