Nyarlathotep has appeared through the range of time, from ancient Egypt where he instructed Nephren-Ka in the arts of the darkest magic, up until modern day, where one might find him traveling and spreading his terror where any will listen.

Nyarlathotep has many different forms (some literature refers to these forms as Masks, and says that he has a thousand of them), and is thus known by many different avatars, but his key appearances are in human form...

 Nyarlathotep
Nyarlathotep is the mirror in which we see ourselves—as we want to be, and as we truly are—he is the slick salesman, the sly showman, the cynical voice of a mechanistic, soul-dead universe.
Nyarlathotep is the messenger of them all, the only Old One not to be killed, and he takes the people to Azathoth.
Nyarlathotep has to be the supreme deity of the mythos just because of the fact that he is the only one of the outer gods to have any semblance of a personality or intelligence.

 Nyarlathotep by H. P. Lovecraft
There was a demoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown.
Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger.

 Azathoth and Nyarlathotep - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Nyarlathotep serves as Azathoth's aide and messenger, whilst Azathoth merely provides a figurehead, sitting at his throne in the nucleus of Chaos.
Azathoth, whose name is often preceded by "The Daemon Sultan", "Him in the Gulf", or the "Seething Nucular Chaos", is in a mindless coma-like trance, brought about by the hypnotic dances of the members of his court.
Lovecraft never intended for Azathoth's Court and Nyarlathotep to be used as metaphors for, say, the British Parliament, but it is often used for just that.

 H.P. Lovecraft's 'Nyarlathotep'
The 1920 prose-poem “Nyarlathotep” is a relatively early and incredibly concise example of Lovecraft’s use of his cosmic philosophy in fiction.
Although there is no evidence for it, perhaps in Lovecraft's mind Nyarlathotep was either a divinity who abandoned Egypt when it was invaded by the 'fl' Nubians or he was a malign spirit that assisted the Nubians in their takeover.
This paragraph continues to build suspense, specifically by bringing Nyarlathotep into close geographic proximity with the narrator and by indicating that part of Nyarlathotep's lecture is a either a film or "magic lantern" show, projected by "sputtering sparks." The reference to the narrator's friend is a streamlined reference to the dream which inspired the story.

In early 1992, Derek C. Pegritz, an English-teacher-in-training and afficionado of bizarre electronic music, discovered something very peculiar in his backyard one morning...a Mi-Go transport cylinder containing a living human brain that identified itself as Howard Phillips Lovecraft, a popular horror/science-fiction writer on the earlier part of the 20th Century.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Nyarlathotep Cycle: Stories about the God of a Thousand Forms
Price in which he attempts to persuade his readers that "Nyarlathotep is the Hindu god Nath, or Siva." I think he fails to prove his thesis, but the article is not long, and the reader can safely ignore it.
H.P. Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep's originator, wrote in a letter to Reinhardt Kleiner that "Nyarlathotep is a nightmare--an actual phantasm of my own," and he had envisioned the creature as being "a kind of itinerant showman or lecturer who held forth in publick [sic] halls and aroused widespread fear and discussion with his exhibitions."
This is a far cry from a Hindu god, and while Nyarlathotep grew in Lovecraft's fiction to embody far more than the persona of a showman, "It" was certainly never meant to be appended to one of the world's major religions.

 NYARLATHOTEP Background
Nyarlathotep is one of the more powerful of the “Ancient Ones” in Lovecraft’s cosmology.
Nyarlathotep is multiform and unlocalized; as the crawling chaos he not only reaches to Azathoth, he also partakes and mediates that chaos in his own waxen mask of a persona—he is what he imitates.
In the prose poem, Nyarlathotep claims to bear messages from another world, which he presents through shadows on a screen and through a demonstration of electrical machinery by which “shadows more grotesque than I can tell came out and squatted on the heads” of the audience.

 princeofcairo: [Tour de Lovecraft] Nyarlathotep
Theory-of-religions answer: Nyarlathotep is a protean deity, possibly reflecting the many varieties of evil, or fear, or apocalypse.
Lovecraft-scholar answer: HPL seems to treat Nyarlathotep in two main ways -- as a human tempter/taunter/harbinger ("Witch-House," "Dream-Quest," the sonnet) and as "the Crawling Chaos," essentially a more-malevolent Azathoth ("Haunter," various inhuman chants).
Mythos answer: "Nyarlathotep" is the technical term for the interphase state between human perception and the Mythos, like a film of soap on water.
