	'''Azathoth''', also known as the '''Daemon Sultan''', the '''Nuclear Chaos''', the '''Blind Idiot God''' and many other titles, is the big cheese of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Yog-Sothothery\|Cthulhu Mythos]]. The first and most terrifying of the Outer Gods, he's powerful to the point that even the other Outer Gods would prefer he stayed asleep. Why is that you might ask? Because if he woke up, [[Exterminatus\|all of existence would well, cease to exist]] because [[What\|all of reality is in fact his dream]]. Really. He makes the [[Chaos Gods]] look like spoiled toddlers in comparison. He also can still directly influence reality while sleeping as well, though he's too retarded to notice himself doing so (more on that below).

	He is described as being both at the "center" of the universe and the "corners" of the universe, yet also existing outside of regular space and time. Despite possessing power beyond comprehension, he is an utterly mindless being, totally unaware of the cosmos around him or even of his own existence (thus the nickname "blind idiot god"). He is always surrounded by other equally mindless creatures, called '''Servitors of the Outer Gods''' by [[Call of Cthulhu]], who play drums and flutes (very badly, we might add) while dancing around him endlessly.		He is described as being both at the "center" of the universe and the "corners" of the universe, yet also existing outside of regular space and time. Despite possessing power beyond comprehension, he is an utterly mindless being, totally unaware of the cosmos around him or even of his own existence (thus the nickname "blind idiot god") - though to be fair, dreaming up an entire universe down to the subatomic particles would likely use up even an Outer God's higher brain functions. He is always surrounded by other equally mindless creatures, called '''Servitors of the Outer Gods''' by [[Call of Cthulhu]], who play drums and flutes (very badly, we might add) while dancing around him endlessly.

	He's also the origin of all of the Eldritch pantheon (Outer Gods and Great Old Ones included), having created the original first generation of Outer Gods by splitting off parts of himself into new beings. As a result he's [[Cthulhu]]'s great grandfather, for example. And since reality is his dream, that makes humanity technically also his creations, [[Grimdark\|though they're too insignificant to the Outer Gods, much less him, to be worth recognizing as such]]. Doesn't stop said humans who know of him from worship though.
