The literary concept of the *heteronym* refers to one or more imaginary characters created by a writer to write in different styles. 

Portuguese writer and poet Fernando Pessoa created some 70 heteronyms! Pessoa, also an amateur astrologer, created in 1915 the heteronym Raphael Baldaya, a long bearded astrologer. Pessoa elaborated horoscopes of his main heteronyms in order to determine their personalities.

Poem by Pessoa's heteronym Ricardo Reis

Ode 76

[September 17, 1914]

Darkness falls over Ceres.
On the mountaintops, though,
              it is still light.
I feel so very grand
at this solemn
              and futile hour,
that, just as there are gods
of the meadows, of the flowers,
              of the wheatfields,
what I would like now
is for there to be a god
              of me.
