Hoo'Ax'Dyuu
Hoo'Ax'Dyuu was originally a hex weapon spirit created by Lazu, but has since risen to independent godhood. Although... nobody's quite sure what he's the god of.
His rise to divinity seems to have been something of a cosmic joke. A Gero exile named Abbit intended to fabricate a religion and effectively become a charlatan preacher, but quipped "Who axed you?" when asked which deity he worshipped. Names have phenomenal power in the world of spirits. And so, Hoo'Ax'Dyuu found himself tied to an "accidental" believer.
Their cosmic connection matured as Abbit adventured -- spreading pamphlets about Hoo'Ax'Dyuu, saying that he was the one true god, performing feats of heroism and bravery in his name. Some peasant folk even began to believe in Abbit's mysterious god after witnessing such events. With that, Hoo'Ax'Dyuu grew in power, and was able to provide Abbit with greater and greater magical gifts.
Where a warlock-patron relationship is understood to be transactional, Abbit and Hoo'Ax'Dyuu have a relationship based on faith. Even if accidental at first. Though their relationship is still maturing.

Personal history
Hoo'Ax'Dyuu was one of the many hex weapons created by Lazu, which have formed bonds with all kinds of legendary heroes and villains in the world. Lazu's love of chaos has an easy way of manifesting when a mortal is given a divine weapon to forge a pact with, obviously.
He seemingly favored being in or near the Lost Woods for much of his early history, with locals regarding him as something of a trickster spirit. Mostly harmless mischief. Not malicious in his intentions.
Leo Crimson claims that he was previously left at the Grand Hall -- the former headquarters of the Hall of Heroes -- and "possessed" an adventurer named Gabe, forcing him to open the tomb of Lord Jericho. This subsequently caused the undead to start rising in the region.
Hoo'Ax'Dyuu, however, vehemently denies this. He claims that he was trying to stop Gabe -- that idiot! -- from opening the tomb and found himself stuck in his back forever more. Because Hoo'Ax'Dyuu simply doesn't have the hands to free himself and did not have any patrons at the time.
He was later invoked by Abbit through sheer coincidence and then accidentally found himself becoming a god. Albeit a small one. His place is the world is still being defined.
