We know the following:
1. He appears to be a mortal, a human male.
2. The effects of his crime was still felt in the present, and the Great Wheel cosmology was slowly dying from it.
He could be a great mage of some sort, but he needed the help of Ravel to prolong his lifespan, whereas any sufficiently knowledgeable wizard can turn himself into a lich for the same purpose. So, it's either a personal preference not to become an undead creature, or he's not a wizard in the first place.
Also, in all of his incarnations, he was not approached by any god to be their proxy. Given that gods know pretty much everything significant, and this guy has been around for thousands of years, one might wonder why no god would want him to work for them. One possible reason was that all of his incarnations appeared to stay in Sigil for extended periods of time. Sure, he goes off planar jaunting from time to time, but pretty much all of his known incarnations end up in Sigil sooner or later. Still, he could be approached by any of the godly proxies. But he was not offered any sort of divine assistance, from the most goodly of gods, to the most evil.

My personal theory was that his incarnations all went to Sigil because it is the one place in the multiverse that gods are forbidden to enter. All of his incarnations somehow knew that Sigil would be the safest place to be, instead of looking for sanctuary in any of the other planes. So, his crime could have something to do with the gods, something so heinous that no god would ever entrust their proxies with this secret to hunt down TNO in Sigil.
My personal theory? He was responsible for introducing divine worship. Gods of the present day gain power from their worshipers. And when a worshiper dies, he goes to his god's afterlife. So, the source of a god's power is prayer and souls. A god can be die permanently if all their worshipers are dead and all mention of the god are removed from memory and from records. No more prayers, no more souls. The god will eventually fade away into nothingness.
My guess is, TNO somehow discovered a method by which mortals can ascend to godhood by exploiting the power of prayer and souls. A bunch of mortals then ascended to godhood using his method, becoming the present-day gods of various pantheons. This sparks off religious wars as the gods competed against each other in order to gain worshipers. Countless trillions died across the multiverse to fuel the gods, first from religious wars, and again in the afterlife.
2/3 actually.
The big secret is that no one had to choose an afterlife. The primal gods, the ones responsible for creation, they had no worshipers and yet still retained their divine powers. It's only this current batch of gods that needed prayers and souls to keep their powers. For this reason, they spread the word that doing good deeds would send you to heaven, sinning would send you to hell, or any of the other versions of afterlife. Their propaganda was so effective, that virtually every soul who ever died went to one of the afterlives, with the exception of animals and very young children who had not yet been brainwashed, and most likely, any kind of atheist/agnostic.

He gave 3 days bans for "replying to offtopic garbage" without linking your post.
You should try your luck on /vrpg/.
There is like 5 anons on Ganker who played it.
I doubt even the writters thought what exactly his crime was, but I like part of your idea, since it involes faith/belief, one of the main thematics of P:T
personally I think tno gained immortality to stop the blood war and use a unified evil to kill all the gods and use his new state of godhood that could be sustained without worship to usurp the gods, his acceptance into sigil and the reason he is always shows up there after he dies is because the lady of pain had an unspoken admiration for his idea
He gained immortality through Ravel because he wanted to avoid punishment for his crime (and maybe get more time to redeem himself)
The 3d models/character design, omnibus music can be pretty spooky if you are underaged or not used to that kind of fantasy settings
It felt like some weird madhouse where people suffer horrible fates and cannot escape.
Somehow this was a scary game for me I dunno why
That homie need some water he dry af
he said the N word.
how can any of that work when there's such a thing as Ao and it's clearly defined what gods are, what their purpose is and how they came to be
>TNO original crime is lust for power
How completely pedestrian. At least Prometheus stole the flame to help mankind, I sincerely doubt TNO gave a shit about any of the planes in his original lifespan and first incarnations. No. It has to be deeper than that, something that cannot even be uttered, hence the ambiguity.

He raped a boy.
Ironically enough as stupid as it sounds this is a perfectly legitimate reason since guilt is an extremely powerful emotion. Some pedos genuinely feel irredeemable and rightfully so, the sanctity of life must never be perverted.
He said the 'N' word.
Nature of a mam
>The Nameless One's original crime
Rape.
I thought that the reason his existence was so destructive to the planes was that every time he died, another random soul in the universe would be damned in his place so that he may live on. Basically meaning thousands of people were dying constantly and their souls unjustly tormented forever because of his wish for immortality, which originated from him suddenly seeking to redeem himself after a lifetime of heinous crimes and various evil. Where do we learn that his original crime was linked to all the planes suffering?
