In the end, I killed off Anthraxus, Mydianchlarus, Typhus, Bubonix, and Cholerix. Cerlic/Charon is still around, Taba went into bitter exile to become a thorn in the side of the new rulership in Khin-Oin, Xenghara was handed over (for unknown purposes) to the Hag Countess of Baator, and the General of Gehenna (and the Crawling City) vanished utterly before the purge began.Most of the major 'loths I used tended to be ones I made myself, or 2nd tier 'loths newly elevated to power (Helekanalaith of the Tower Arcane, who is 'official' by virtue of a single quote 'Planes of Conflict' that gives him a name and a title). And then I heavily used the Baernaloths, only one of whom, Daru Ib Shamiq, was ever officially named, and I expanded their ranks and personalities through that campaign/storyhour by another dozen or more individuals.As far as Baatezu, I never used any of the Lords of the 9 directly, though I used a few pit fiends and one minor Baatezu noble in Maladomini (assassinated by Taba). In my second campaign I've been using the Dark 8 heavily and directly, plus I'm putting up Bel on a plate as a possible future antagonist (along with heavy mention of his predecessor Zariel).With Tanar'ri, I ended up using Pale Night late in the campaign, or rather an abandoned and misbegotten child of hers. I also had far too much fun with 'The Kadyx' within Sigil. I've also got plans to use the Tanar'ri more in my second campaign if it develops in that direction, but as of yet, I've not used any of the official ones beyond Noshtoreth of the Umber Scales and Rule-Of-Three in Sigil in an on and off capacity, but not as antagonists.With Gehreleths (Demodands for the 1e crowd) I directly used the one Shator, Xidious, in Sigil's gatehouse that was penning a revision of the Book of Keeping. I also used Apomps the Triple Aspected later in the campaign, with one PC directly speaking to him/her/it/them in the lowest layer of Carceri. Standing there on the black ice, hearing the surface shifting and fracturing, slowly grinding into the petitioners frozen into the ground, with a shator, kelubar, and farastu positioned in a circle around this one PC. Each of those three without eyes, but only black hollows in the sockets, all of them speaking in the same voice at the same time, or remaining silent and finishing one anothers sentences. That was so very fun, and damn was Apomps bitter, and ultimately an ally of sorts to the PCs in some wierd way.<img src="http://arcanofox.foxpaws.net/shemmygloat.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />  Oh man, that's great. I had her routinely make a royal pain in the ass of herself to the PCs in my campaign, largely just because she could, completely outside of the actual serious business that she was involved in. Typically it ended up being done in such a way, or in circumstances, that precluded the PCs taking any direct revenge on her.At some point they ticked her off and she started evicting people in the buildings adjacent to the PCs inn and moving in folks designed to cause problems. One PC was a priest of Tempus, and right next door moves in a priest of Garagos who sets up a shrine to his deity. Then came the Tanar'ri brothel. *grin*Eventually though they'd had all they could take from her, but nothing is ever so straightforward.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
