He would make a good subject for playing around with making a god though.....The D&D default pantheon in the PHB is culled/derived from the many many gods in the multitudinous Greyhawk pantheons (remember there are several pantheon's of human gods and they drew from them wily nily; frex Wee Jas is a Suel god, Nerull and Boccob are Flan/Common IIRC). Bearing that in mind, I find the default pantheon to be arranged oddly across the alignments, and Rogues in particular get little choice in thier god options.  Also, as someone else noted the lack of a mercantile god such as Zilchus is telling, and also lacking is a god of the sea. Its very obvious that the classes were chosen for adventuring characters for the most part, which I suppose was the point, but which left some strange holes in the pantheons cosmology.</blockquote>
