Has anybody used him in their campaign yet?

What kind of NPC did you make of his small band of followers called the faithful?

I used Valthonis as a mysterious figure that the party could never identify with 100% certainty. I needed a character who could impart information to the group that no one else could possibly know. (It had to do with people whose identities and memories were destroyed during the Chaos War.) It was a short and mysterious encounter, and I like to think it worked--even though my group pretty much caught on right away.

In the campaign that I am running, I have taken a different take on Valthonis. My Valthonis is a meddler in the affairs of others. I used him as a voice of destiny (at least to the perceptions of the characters) to get the part moving. Now granted, he is no longer a god, but he is still the same "person" that liked to manipulate circumstances to his liking, he just no longer wishes people to sing his praises any longer. He set a few things in motion for the party to set right a few things that needed fixing, without giving any real help in the matter, after all, they wouldn't learn anything if he just held their hand. Half of the party would strangle him, I think, if they could get their hands on him.
