[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8965007, member: 6788732"] A villain I want to bring back is "The Red Talon!" He was a dragonborn leader of a similarly named smuggling ring that stole an ancient book detailing various rituals used by the dragon elders to empower their followers, he sold this to the main villain of the campaign who seeks to steal the power from one of the sleeping dragon elders in order to break his pact and prevent his soul being claimed by Mephistopheles when he dies. The reason why I like him is that he's just in it for the money, he isn't a world domination kind of guy, he doesn't seek to overthrow a kingdom or summon a demon lord to the prime plane, he just wants to get rich and smuggling and thievery was how he did it. Now that his smuggling ring is disbanded thanks to the actions of the PCs, he's moved on to his next get rich scheme (he's technically already quite wealthy, he sold the book for a small chest of diamonds which he ended up not having to share with his men). He also has a very specific magical item that likely would be claimed by the dragonborn in the party, the Eye of the Red Talon (actual name lost to time, it is actually replacing one of his eyes), an elemental shard of power that has the power to double the effects of the fire breath of a dragonborn, improves their fire resistance to fire invulnerability but also making them vulnerable to cold), and grants them the ability to summon a great axe of lava (think shadowblade but a great axe). At some point, I want the PCs to run into him again, I don't know how or why or what he'll be doing but I love the character and feel like he needs to make a comeback. [/QUOTE]
