Baftis is consort to Baalzebul, The Lord of the Flies. A quiet, subservient consort, she is more than a little afraid of her lord, and rarely acts on her own behalf without specific permission from him. Baftis is somewhat proud and will be outraged if her person or belongings are threatened by lesser creatures. Her fanged bite does 2-8 points of damage. She normally carries a bronze spear…
She causes fear by speaking to a creature within 3” (save vs. spell at -1 to avoid)…
Description: Baftis appears as a tall, attractive, but rather forbidding human female, save for her tall, spired horns, batlike wings, crimson skin, and hooves. She has no tail, and - unusual for a devil - eyes of lavender hue. She almost always wears loose, open robes; it is said she is sensitive about the lighter shade of her skin down her back - of a human, almost ivory hue. Once a human on the Prime Material Plane uttered an oath mentioning “the pearly spine of Baftis,” and she took that as a summons, appearing and rending the unfortunate with her jaws and claws (which do 1-3 damage each when she is weaponless).
Neabaz serves Baalzebul as herald, and as such is rarely idle. He respects his master and likes his work, for he is placed in the Nine Hells well above any station he could achieve by his own means, due to his association with the Lord of the Flies. Physically weak in comparison to other greater devils, Neabaz has by Baalzebul’s orders been provided with magical weaponry to augment his means of personal defense. His bare fists do only 1-6 damage each, and his chief attack is blood drain: When his human-like mouth is open, he can extrude a foot-long proboscis from within, and suck blood (1-6 points per round, both upon initial contact and thereafter for as long as he can grip the victim). Neabaz is careful and polite at all times, fearing to offend an arch-devil (and any creature may be a polymorphed archdevil, to his slightly paranoid mind)…
Once per day he can slay living (by touch), and at will he can cause fear in a 2” radius…
Description: Neabaz appears as a smoothly polite, cold-blooded, and very handsome man - save for his tiny pointed horns and transparent, housefly-like wings. He is customarily garbed in black tunic (open at the shoulders to accommodate his wings) and breeches, with a hat and cape of rich, blood-red silk. The cape is magical, having the ability to give forth an aura of flames (treat as a “cold version” fire shield that will not harm Neabaz’s wings) up to four times every 24 hours at the wearer’s will, each aura lasting up to three rounds as desired. Neabaz also bears a flame tongue blade that, when grasped, can know alignment of any creature pointed at, and fire 9 magic missiles (1 missile per spell) every 24 hours. (These items are believed to be of Prime Material Plane origin.) Neabaz carries other treasure only upon Baalzebul’s business and explicit orders.
Barbatos is the marshal of Maladomini, responsible for all of Baalzebul’s armies on that plane, and, through Moloch, administering also the forces of Malbolge. Authoritarian and a shrewd judge both of his warriors and of tactical problems, he has won Baalzebul’s respect and limited trust. He has never displayed any personal ambitions, nor (at any time) his true feelings, so that among the hierarchy of the hells his loyalty to his master, and therefore his actions in any change of the status quo, remain unknown.
Barbatos moves with lightning speed in battle, having two weapon attacks per round. He carries treasure only upon the orders and specific business of Baalzebul, and wears a gray cloak with a green hood fringed in scarlet…
Barbatos breathes fear in a cone up to 4” distant, 2” wide at its furthest extent (save vs. breath weapon to avoid)…
If summoned to the Prime Material Plane, Barbatos will always appear with 2-8 malebranche. On that plane, he can track as a ranger, pass without trace, and move silently if he wills; break wizard locks by touch; and detect treasure (of a metal or mineral nature, as in the wand of metal and mineral detection) in a 3” radius. Those who know how to summon him are few, because he and his malebranche guard can usually destroy them or bear them to the hells for torment.
Description: Barbatos appears as a bearded, horned man-like giant with crimson skin, black hooves, and a tail. His eyes are green, and he talks with a rich, persuasive voice.
Abigor is a duke in the service of Baalzebul, commanding 60 companies of malebranche. He enjoys destroying other creatures in battle, and will not miss a chance to fight a weaker opponent. He wields a +2 battleaxe and a mace, and if he loses these in a skirmish he will employ anything available. Weaponless, he strikes with one massive fist while warding off attacks with the other. A blow from his hand does 2-16 damage…
Once per day Abigor can employ a symbol of stunning, and once per day he can spell turn (as in ring of spell turning) a spell cast at him back at the caster (note that he can do this even with a spell that his magic resistance has protected him from). Abigor causes fear by touch (save vs. spell at -1 to avoid)…
Description: Abigor appears as an ochre-skinned, hairless humanoid with ruddy diabolic features, small horns, black hooves, and a forked tail. He has large crimson bat-like wings, and a loud, bellowing voice.
Zepar is a duke in the service of Baalzebul, and leads 28 companies of malebranche. Vicious and arrogant, he seldom engages in combat, but uses his magical powers and his servants to bully weaker creatures. When in a black mood, he wades into the hapless lemures and dishes out all the punishment he can deliver. He fights with a hand axe and a short sword, both envenomed like those of an erinyes (save vs. poison or faint for 1-6 melee rounds)…
His touch can (at will) cause one of the following: fear (save vs. spell at –1 or cower on the spot, dropping weapons, if save fails); lust (cease hostilities and approach the first creature of like race and opposite sex; this effect lasts only 4 rounds and ceases in any case when the affected person is attacked — by Zepar, the intended object of his or her affections, or another); or a shocking grasp (11-18 points of damage)…
Description: Zepar appears as a slight, dark-complexioned man dressed in scarlet armor, with a grotesque clubfoot and a forked tail. He has small horns (concealed by his helm) and speaks in a grating, contemptuous voice. Beneath his armor (without which he is AC -2) is crimson skin, and a “normal” human foot that has retractile black catlike claws (1-4 raking damage if unbooted).
