The Mogul of Cromarcky
Visage was Jishrim's gift to Altera. Jishrim called all the mortals to the grand shrine to receive his gift. Asked for volunteers to come forward to recieve his "gift." Shalherana came and tried to intervene before he could do it. She banished Jishrim and Jishrim was exiled, but where he stood was a porcelain child. It was essentially an empty vessel. It learned, evolved, and behaved based on how people interacted with it. I believe Silas called it a Figment. He said it had potential for great power and could become part of hte pantheon, for better or for worse, if it wasn't destroyed. The mortals begged Silas not to kill the child, and he gave the mortals a month. (An OOC week). Silas said he'd come back and make his decision then, but until then, the Figment was in the hands of the mortals.
When he came back, the child had been greatly influenced by Altera. Ended up turning into a dragon when Silas tried to kill it. The rest of hte Pantheon knew it was too late, and using their own influence, tried to alter the course of the entity that was going to take its place in their ranks. There's a post somewhere that says what each of the Gods gave to Visage, but in the end, Visage became the god that he is today.
Visage was never mortal, but rather Jishrim's creation, in a way.
This is certainly what most everyone saw. God of Lies and Secrets and all that. Lots of stuff happened in the background with a few key players both before the "birth" event happened and during it. Have fun looking into these things ICly!
