Kalekot is a deity of deadly secrets and dangerous places. He is a boogeyman, an executioner of the guilty, and guardian of the lost.

Appearance

Kalekot appears as a humanoid figure with a twisted spine, withered skin, and an eyeless mask.

Personality

Kalekot spreads fear to keep people alive, not for the sake of fear itself. He keeps the innocent wary of dangers hiding within shadows and behind smiling faces, and reminds the guilty of an ever-approaching reckoning. A cynic, Kalekot believes he must dirty his hands to keep others' souls clean, and he despises those who are optimistic through ignorance.
