<!--<b>Nyarlathotep</b> differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Hastur, or sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; <b>Nyarlathotep</b>, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms, most of these reputed to be maddeningly horrific. Most of the Outer Gods have their own cults serving them; <b>Nyarlathotep</b> seems to serve these cults and take care of their affairs in their absence. Most of them use strange alien languages, while <b>Nyarlathotep</b> uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. Finally, most of them are all powerful yet purposeless, yet <b>Nyarlathotep</b> seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses propaganda to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among them.

--><b>Nyarlathotep</b> enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of Azathoth, whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to <b>Nyarlathotep</b>. It is suggested by some that he will destroy the human race and possibly the earth as well.<!--
