Kovit was a Tribal god of the Nandi who was incorporated into the Grand Temple of Westrun. An able shapeshifter, he is most often found in one of three forms: a man, a raven or a rat.
Kovit is often seized by an overwhelming desire to own things which do not belong to him. However, he is not a thief and will not blantantly steal. That said, he is not above using trickery or even death to obtain what he wants. In the latter case, Kovit is careful to couch his actions in an air of respectability. The tale of King Malit is instructive of this point.
King Malit was a tribal ruler in Menea centuries before the Eight Kingdoms Pact. When he ascended to that position he was given a gold leaf crown by the nearest tribe of elves. When Kovit saw the crown, he desired it greatly for his own, but Malit refused to relinquish it to Kovit. Then Kovit noted that Malit had not thanked the elves for their gift, and so he smote the ungrateful king. Then, as Malit was slain, the crown had no owner and Kovit was free to keep it for himself.
