{{Quote|Hear the holy prophecy of Vecna, Supreme Deity of All the Infinite Spaces and Every Space Between. Says the Lord: You cannot and will not reach me with malice in your heart; I will not allow it. I know your thoughts as you think them, for I have become a true god. Yet my power now is nothing to that which I am soon to reach, when I reach forth from the very center of multiversal disintegration and reorder the cosmos, according to my whims, from first to last dimension. Those who stand against me will be wiped from existence, as if they had never been. But those who now forswear past allegiance and pledge themselves to the one supreme lord of creation may be brought into the new world. Decide soon, for reality rapidly speeds toward dissolution and my ultimate ascension.|Vecna}}
{{Quote|Evil is not an absence of good. It is not a choice... Evil is one of two forces in the cosmos, an agency locked in eternal struggle against its antithesis... Only good and evil exist. And not even a hair's width of space separates them.|Vecna}}
{{Quote|I have but one warning before I leave you to your awakening. Resist not the truths I and perhaps others record here. Open your mind and heart to the knowledge contained on these pages. Only then will you understand and receive the wisdom darkness can provide... Embrace the lore and spurn the light, and you too shall ever after walk in darkness.|Vecna's introduction to the ''Book of Vile Darkness''}}

~ Vecna's introduction to the Book of Vile Darkness
Tier:Low 5-B, possibly far higher | At least Low 2-B | At least 2-A, possibly Low 1-C to High 1-B
Name: Vecna, Maimed Lord, the Arch-Lich, Master of the Spider-Throne, the Chained God, Lord of the Hand and Eye, the Maimed God, the Whispered One, the Undying King, the Lord of the Rotted Tower, Supreme Deity of All the Infinite Spaces and Every Space Between, the Lord, The Master of All That is Secret and Hidden, Jack Vance
Alignment: Neutral Evil (Listed to be Neutral Evil for his alignment. According to some, Vecna had an obsession with acquiring and maintaining secrets, believing them to be the source of true power. He was precise and calculating in his actions, but was at times prone to bouts of intense rage. Vecna believed that every being in existence held a single secret that could be manipulated to bring about its destruction. Uncovering that secret and exploiting its truth were the key to gaining dominion over others)
Note: While Vecna theoretically should have a key for when he was a mortal being, the reason why he doesn't is due to how his backstory is shrouded in mystery and contradictions, mainly because whoever is running the campaign could write his story.
