Ptah
Ptah is an ancient Egyptian creator diety, and historically the patron of craftsmen and architects. Depending on who you ask, he's the husband of Sekhmet and father of Nefertem, though some traditions also have him as the father of Imhotep.
While he's not as popular as some of the other gods in his pantheon (like Ra or Anubis), he is still known enough to feature in several campaign settings in some fashion.

In the Forgotten Realms, Ptah entered the picture when Ao informed him of the theft of the Mulan by the Imaskari. Due to the anti-deific barriers the Imaskari put up, they could only indirectly intervene through powerful avatars, and it was up to Ptah to lead them to Toril using a powerful artifact called the Beacon of Light. Thus the Mulhorandi and Untheric pantheon arrived in the Realms, in the area that would become the Godswatch Mountains.

Basically the exact same as his IRL and historical counterpart, gave some of his power to Isis to help revive Osiris so they can get their necrophilia on and create Horus to fight Set. Got put to sleep by Isis so that Osiris could become king of the gods, however his followers still get some power from him whenever he opens his eye to rub divine boogers out of it. A force of followers and faithful known as Ra's Fist travel about the world, looking for anything that could be used to wake up their sleeping god.

Ra is the supreme creator god and king of legend in Osirion, he is the father of Bastet, Hathor, Maat, and Sekhmet. Thoth is his son-in-law and secretary, while Wadjet helps him in his role as the divine patron of kings. Everyday he fights the long battle at sunset against Apep and is aided by his fellow gods. If Ra wins, the sun rises the next day, if he loses, everything goes bye bye.
