Mask
In the Forgotten Realms, Mask (born Lessinor), also known as Spider-Man Noir or Assassin's Creed, is the Faerûnian god of shadows and thievery.
Alignment
In 3e, Mask was considered Neutral Evil (like his mom), but nowadays he's considered Chaotic Neutral.
Relationships
Mask has few allies and many enemies. In principle, all gods of light and order oppose him, including Selûne and Waukeen.
One of Mask's greatest enemies is actually Cyric. Cyric is basically everything Mask wants to be. Mask would love nothing more than to absorb his divinity and take over his portfolio. Interestingly enough, though, Mask is pretty much the number-one reason Cyric rose to power in the first place—and also the number-one reason for Cyric's downfall.[1]
Mask's two most frequent allies are Bane and Vhaeraun. Mask sees Bane as a common enemy against Cyric. Mask sees Vhaeraun as a fellow pea in a pod, so to speak—so much so that he actually intends on killing Vhaeraun one day and taking over his role in the Dark Seldarine.
Perhaps most surprisingly, it was revealed relatively recently that Mask's mother is none other than Shar. That is quite something. This would also make Selûne his aunt.

Endnotes
- ↑ Long story short, Mask disguised himself as a sword named Godsbane during the TIme of Troubles, and allowed Cyric to use him as a god-slaying weapon. Cyric just thought Godsbane was the world's greatest sword, but of course really it was able to kill so many gods because Mask is a god. Cyric amassed immense power this way—only to eventually be killed by Kelemvor on Mask's instruction.
