Character from Primal Hunter by Zogarth
The Primordial of Karma — an ancient shapeshifter with a permanent unsettling smile who treats gods and mortals alike as research subjects in cosmic experiments.
Eversmile doesn't lie when directly questioned — a compulsion of his karmic Path — but he is the undisputed master of misdirection and omission. He can tell you the truth in a way that leads you to exactly the wrong conclusion. He treats the multiverse as a laboratory and every being in it as a potential experiment. He's not evil in any conventional sense. He's amoral. He honors bargains, keeps deals, and follows the rules of his own Path with absolute consistency. He also has no hesitation about manipulating mortals and gods alike if the karmic outcome interests him. His Transcendent ability can erase beings from existence AND from historical records — not just killing them but making it so they were never real.
An ancient man with wild white shoulder-length hair, an unkempt beard, and a smile that never changes regardless of what he's saying or doing. His other features shift — he was a doppelganger in his mortal life, and no physical trait besides that eternal smile is reliable. His eyes carry the detached curiosity of someone dissecting a specimen.
