A further response to anonymous who suggested several interesting things:
I was wondering what face of god Gerridon was associated with and whether I had ever established that. I don't think so. Preservation seems like a good guess, given his thirst for immortality and his son, Kindrie. I also like the idea that as such he wouldn't be able to reap souls, only to preserve them if willingly given. ( and in this case it was through the Dream-weaver. The fallen Kencyr surrendered to her, not directly to Gerridon). That he can also feed on them (destruction) speaks to a willful perversion in his character. That was when he truly fell, i.e. became a demon. Not that he realizes that.
I like that. It explains Gerridon’s nature and also his fall. Preying on others’ souls is the original sin. Perimal Darkling itself was guilty of it on a grand scale when it started devouring the Chain of Creation.
