VELNS
Latvian Evil God
Devilishly dumb Latvian Devil
He is the adversary of Dievs. But unlike Satan or similar Gods of Evil, he is more of a low-budget trickster than a frightful Lord of Badness.
It seems that once upon a time he was co-equal with Dievs and even helped him create the Universe. But the pagan good times ended when Christianity arrived in Latvia. Velns was reduced to the status of a moustache-twirling naughty rogue. Instead of an evil genius he became a dismally stupid villain.
We imagine him dressed in tweed and propping up a bar somewhere having failed to trick an orphan out of their inheritance.
