	When he deigns to manifest himself, or is depicted by his faithful, Keptolo takes the form of a handsome young drow nobleman dressed in either well-tailored silks of red, purple, ~~yet~~ and amber, or dressed for the hunt with a velvet cloak. He affects either an ambidextrous two-weapon fighting style, wielding poinard and longsword in both hands, or carries a magnificent repeater crossbow.

	His holy symbol of a "stylized mushroom" is associated with both strong drink and fertility in drow society. This implies it looks like a dick. Although it's not listed in his "official" portfolio, reading between the lines makes it clear that he's also a drow god of carnality and sexual pleasure.

	Amazingly, Keptolo actually returned and became an official member of the ~~Dark~~ [[Seldarine]], alongside his fellow Oerthian deity [[Zinzerena]] and even the long-forgotten and obscure [[Malyk]]. Whilst only covered in brief, the basic ideas of him remained intact - although some might argue that, as the closest thing to a fertility god in the Dark Seldarine and very much a god of carnal pleasures, "Life" would be a more fitting domain for his clerics than "Nature".

	As mentioned above, Keptolo only appears in a single source, and is technically unique to the [[Greyhawk]] version of the [[Drow]] pantheon; in the [[Forgotten Realms]], his role is instead filled by [[Selvetarm]], a very different deity indeed.

	One way to reconcile the two, though, is that Lolth keeps two boytoys at the same time, and the two represent the different paths a "behaving" drow male can follow; Selvetarm is the destructive, vicious minion who serves his mistress as an instrument of bloody death, whilst Keptolo is the ~~save~~, seductive charmer who serves his mistress in the bedroom. After all, given who [[Lolth]] is, the idea that she keeps one "husband" around for his skill at killing things and the other one around because he's good in bed isn't exactly a stretch.

	This reconciliation actually became more or less canon in 5th edition's "Tome of Foes" [[splatbook]]: Keptolo is Lolth's consort, "more than a plaything, but much less than an equal", whilst Selvetarm is Lolth's champion - he fights on her behalf, but she keeps him bound in magically unbreakable webbing until she needs him to bust some heads, implying she actually fears his rage.
