The trouble with Veskerele is that he is a figure in Lodrili mythology as being the ruler of the God Caves, one of the four underworlds in which live the lesser deities of the earth and the beasts of the hunt when they are between lives (Entekosiad p18). Elsewhere he is cited as the Keeper of Souls, the Lord of the Land of Bones (Entekosiad p47). None of this sounds like a thief god to me.
