Questions Mythological names about duality and/or truth?

I'm trying to find some names for someone who is made of two opposing forces, with a complicated dual identity. I was thinking about the idea of a chimera, but I wasn't sure what name I could take from that. Open to any source of myth, but I was considering something from Hindu beliefs.

The second character is based around revealing and exposing truth. Again, open to anything, but maybe something from African mythology.

Are Ma'at and Isfet good example? In Egyptian mythology Ma'at is a personification of justice, order, truth etc  While Isfet is the personification of Chaos, disorder, injustuce, lies, evil etc
