Gleeth.

Gleeth, also known as The Blind God of the Moon, is a deadly and obscure Ogdru Hem who takes the position of an ominous, eyeless and deaf lunar entity.
Appearance[]
Gleeth is a rather intimidating and tall entity, standing and towering over other beings. It appears as a pale, grey-skinned figure, and as a cold, dry, and glowing monstrosity as a result of manifesting himself out of an altar used to summon it. Gleeth’s most defining feature however, is that it has eyeless sockets and no ears, thus being blind and deaf in the process
It has a somewhat disproportionate head, in which it has huge horns protruding out of it, Its slender arms are noticeably bizarre too, in which it has long and sharp claws like swords at the end of its fingers, and apparently its long legs make him look taller.
Overview[]
Gleeth was one of the very few Ogdru Hem that never truly made it towards Earth to take it as its own. And even when it tried, it was intercepted and defeated by the combined efforts of Tsukuyomi and Khonsu. They subdued and imprisoned the Old One inside a distant moon, far away from the Milky Way Galaxy, with the inside of the moon resembling an alternate dimension of sorts.
Like a majority of lunar deities, it has complete mastery over the moon and its lunar energy. Some speculate that Gleeth could be responsible for connecting the lycanthrope curse to the cycle of the moon, specifically in effect towards the Rougarou and possibly the Wulver. Because of this, Gleeth could also be capable of taking away the curse, which explains as to why Rougarou once worshipped this fiend during the dark days of Yharnam, either in a fruitless plea to be freed from their curse or to express their gratitude at being 'blessed'.
Aside from the Rougarou, he was also worshipped by the residents of the ancient continent of Theem'dra as well as in the Dreamlands. He is very similar to another Old One known Mnomquah, the latter believed to be its spawn. It is said that in the 13 of March, 2027, the moon will turn green, signifying the return of their “God”, who will free them from their beastly forms. At one point, the angel Suriel acted as Gleeth's warden until his subsequent fall from grace.
