Ujaeio the Jester (sometimes The Fool), is an Immortal known by both name and epithets.

Ujaeio is known to have countless false identities, personalities, and guises, and their depictions vary widely. Oftentimes they are shown masked, varying widely in design between simple and ornate, gaudy and elegant, garish and fine. Sometimes the Jester is depicted as possessing multiple faces with differing expressions, or multiple masks worn on one face. Always in disguise, Ujaeio is known to be whimsical, entertaining, amusing, annoying, and generally unpredictable.

Historically, the Jester has been a minor Immortal, the patron of performers, thieves, artists and the like, and is generally credited for the emotion-affecting words of power commonly used by Bards, strange coincidences and odd, illogical turns in human history. Worship of the Jester is not particularly frowned upon, rare for an Immortal - perhaps because compared to screeching horrors filled with mouths and gods of war, they seem practically charming. Then again, this could be yet another layer of disguise.

One legend of the Jester is that "Ujaeio" is not their real name, but rather a random scrawling by a fervently devout adherent desperate to feel guided by their Immortal. Later, the name was admitted to be a fabrication, but by that point it had caught on. The Fool does not seem to care much either way.
