Norgorber had no idea why people thought of him as a criminal.

For one they lacked evidence.

That any mortal knew he was related to crime was through the simple culmination of several aspects. One, Aroden's Starstone broadcasting the aspects of ones domain to all and sunder. Supposedly (obviously) useful for automatic negotiations early on in the ascendance process, giving legible information even for the naturally illegible.

Unfortunately for him, his illegible nature was of a particularly secretive form.

So he had a realm in Axis.

It was beautiful. Truly. Absalom was put to shame.

Some careful work, a few payments under the table, and a request to Pharasma and he could gain his 'devoted enough' followers quite close to directly to his realm in Axis. That plan working, this sidestepping of the usual rules, made him happy. Everytime he saw one of his followers getting high interest rates in life because they were a (competent) murderous thug made his figurative heart swell with joy.

Norgorber does not think of himself as a God, though that is undoubtedly what He is.

Norgorber thinks primarily on what is the most direct way to see an interesting occurrence. Most often he is the cause of it.

He is no God of generalized hedonism. He sees no point in lounging on satin sheets, or torture, and even the pleasures of sitting in front of a fire on a nice night are almost lost on him.

He is a God of crime. Of thieves stealing away into the night, packs loaded with ill-gotten goods. Their minds churning with worries as they wonder if they left evidence behind. The well-laid plan succeeding. In and out. Of a man dressed in black with a knife to his neck revealing that, no, he was not going to die here tonight. You were. Of a thousand politicians considering their enemies, finding evidence of what they had done wrong, and then revealing it for an unholy mix of selfish and pure motives.

He is not a God of serial killers. He is a God of killing for it benefits you. Stealing from those who deserve it and don't, for it benefits you.

Unfortunately for him, his illegible nature was of a particularly form that benefited from secrecy.

But domains weren't strong evidence, right? Especially as practically none of the Gods had recorded evidence of him committing a crime as a mortal (he had paid off the rest).

Norgorber does not think of himself as a God, though that is undoubtedly what He is. He treated his Godhood initially as a mere pass from Abaddon, but the acts one could do with a God's power..
