The Fingersmith in his *Dark Leporadine* form.

Overview

The Fingersmith (Enchiridian) is named for its propensity for theft and guile. Like most Strange Gods, Lore about The Fingersmith is rare and incomplete. It comes primarily from scholars who have studied the Lost Gods and their Orisons.

History

The Fingersmith is believed to be one of the oldest Lost Gods. Like all Strange Gods, it first appeared sometime after The Shattering. It has meddled in the affairs of mortals for thousands of years.

Notably, The Fingersmith interfered with the Heroes of the Dawn in their campaign against the demon queen, Lascivia. While initially troublesome, its actions proved to be crucial in the heroes' victory over the demon queen.

Description

The Fingersmith is most often seen in two forms. The first form, called the Dark Leporadine, is a tall, wiry, humanoid with the head of a long-eared rabbit. Its limbs are long and lanky. Its fur is dark grey and its eyes are a deep red.

Its second form is called the Strange Hare. This is a small, rather adorable white rabbit with two pairs of eyes, all mis-matched in color.

Personality

The Fingersmith is very charming and very irreverent. Somewhat arrogant, it has no trouble speaking with confidence about its many past exploits and their consequences. It is incredibly inquisitive and will probe into the secrets and lives of others without any apparent awareness of tact or sensitivity. In spite of this, The Fingersmith's skill worth words allows its candor and confidence manage to come across as charming more often than insulting.

Orisons

Like all Lost Gods, The Fingersmith attracts Orisons who resonate with its essence in some metaphysical way. Specifically, those who disrupt the status quo in profound ways, especially by cunning and curiosity, may find themselves drawn to the path of The Fingersmith.
