"Vicious fighters, the barbazu. The glaives are quite potent all of their own, and that is the least of their tricks. They serve as the shock troups of the infernal armies, and my kin have fought them before. They can go quite crazy in battle, attacking with even their metallic beards, and the wounds they inflict bleed with infernal fury. Fast movers and teleporters, like most devils, and can even gate in their kin to assist in combat. They are difficult opponents, to be certain," Pierce says, reciting her childhood lessons rapidly. She might not know much about the structure of the planes, the ideals behind it, the power structure of Sigil, or things of that nature, but she does know about enemy fighters, particularly the infernal ones. Acheron's lessons were either learned immediately and well or not at all.
