I'm trying to work a PC witch's patron into some upcoming stories, but I'm having a hard time of defining that patron within the setting. The PC witch chose the enchantment patron and plays the character quite selfish and lusting after personal power.
Droskar has the charm domain, but the character is an Elf.
Nocticula has the charm domain as well, but he's the demon lord of lust and that's not really appropriate.
Norgorber shares the PC's alignment, has the charm domain and is the god of secrets. Irori has a small rivalry with Norgorber, but that seems to be only over the fact that Norgorber gained his godhood through an artifact.
Socothbenoth is a demon lord of perversion, pride and taboo. Pride definitely fits the character.
The Green Mother is too forest flavored to fit the character.
Is there any additional material that I should look at? Where can I find more info on Norgorber and Socothbenoth since they're the most promising so far? What about the nascent demon lords?

If you want a god to have anything to do with the patron, Norgorber sounds like a fine fit, based on the character's personality.
But patrons do not have to be gods (even in the Iconic witches patron appears to be Desna), or even actual entities. Unlike a cleric, who must worship a god, a witch could theoretically gain power from an abstraction or a concept or some primal force like 'elemental fire' or 'winter,' without having anything to do with a god of fire or a god of winter.
Now, that being said, even if the witch's 'patron' is an ephemeral thing, neither fish nor fowl, that doesn't mean that some slippery outsider servant of Norgorber (or a random demon lord / archdevil) wouldn't *happily* lie to the witch, and try to convince her that his master is also her master, and the source of all her power. Familiars ain't all that bright, and it's entirely possible that her little animal friend wouldn't know any better, since, unlike an imp or whatnot, foxes and pigs and goats and suchlike critters don't get to commune with the sources of their supernatural insights...
Calistria works, judging from how you describe the character.
The Witch as a class has no alignment restrictions, and Elves love Calistria anyway.
Norgorber works just fine too, if the character is good with being subtle and secretive.

Ooh, this would be a great fit, from what you've said about the character. Enchantment? Selfish? Seeks power over others? Calistria's all over that action.
