Combat
Each round, Runstibble can attack with each of his huge, metallic fists for 2-20 points of damage. If both fists hit, he may then execute a crushing attack upon his victims for an additional 2-20 points of damage.
Although he preferes hand-to-hand fighting, Runstibble sometimes uses a huge +2 club that inflicts 3-18 points of damage per hit.
Sphere
Runstibble is the lord of idolators and false worshippers. His task is to sway mortals to invent and worship false gods. He particularly enjoys influencing mortals to "worship" money and material goods.
Diabolical Abilities:
Runstibble wields the lesser ability to defile consecrated ground, allowing him to eliminate protective clerical enchantments; the standard ability to resist magic which renders him completely immune to first through third level spells (those invoking Phryxis maintain this invulnerability for 1-2 turns); and the greater ability to shake the soul (forces the target to pass a Wis. Attribute Check or suffer 3-30 points of damage).
Additionally, Runstibble can create gold and precious gems at will (at a rate of approximately 75 gp per round).
Inquiries
Runstibble never answers queries about the gods truthfully. When queried on othe rmatters, there is a 50% chance he will speak the truth.
Role Playing Notes
Runstibble moves very slowly and speaks in a low hiss. He particularly enjoys tempting nobility. Runstibble covets the Throne Treacherous and would like nothing more than to see Anthraxus fall.
Palace
Runstibble maintains a vast golden palace in Vecheron.
Appearance
Runstibble rallies idolators and false-worshippers. In his true form, he is composed of solid gem and encrusted with gems.
Runstibble always lies when queried about the gods and their activities. his infernal magic permits him to resist divine magicks, defile consecrated ground, and shake the soul.
Originally appeared in Demons (MFG #752).
So, the first thing to decide is what the hell to make of it? It is from the "Demons" campaign setting, but is Lawful evil and appears to be of the same race as Anthraxus.
I'm leaning toward yugoloth, myself.

If yugoloth, we'll have to slide to NE. I'm okay with that.

Based on this and the hrunchuk, I'm guessing that Mayfair had their own cosmology. Other than the fact that Vecheron sounds like Acheron, I'm happy to go with NE and yugoloth. Or we could go LE and assume that Anthraxus had some other role in the Mayfair cosmology.

Based on the Anthraxus and the other "demons" posted so far in this thread, their alignments are all over the evil axis. Anthraxus is CE, for example. I'm guessing Vecheron and Verekna were catch-all fiendish plane in their cosmology.

Well, we might need a new name for the Mayfair Anthraxus to distinguish him from he Oinoloth. Anyway, he foments rebellions, so CE is good for him. From Runstibble:
This could really be any E alignment, but I could see the CE aspect. Alternately, NE for both works. They're not terribly clearly aligned, either of them.

Let's work 'em up as yugoloths and see how it goes.
The "divide by 4.5" rule gives Runstibble 31 HD.
His hit points, compared to other 1e archfiends, places him closer to Dispater and Mammon. In 3e, both have 28 HD (Fiendish Codex "greater aspect" version) and 34 HD (BoVD "true" version).

Or we could just split the difference at 31 to confuse everybody.

Let's keep him "real" at 31 HD.
