Quick question

There is a secret organization in the realms (Order of the Shield or something) that is secret controlled by a arch devil (Galath or something).

I am fairly certain it was in CLoak and Dagger and probably other 2E stuff but I cannot find it in my 3e books.

COuple of questions:

What are the names I am butchering?
Is that Archdevilthing a Demigod?
If so what is his favored weapon?

The Knights of the Shield. For 3e information on them, see Lords of Darkness, p.150-154.

Gargauth is indeed a demigod. His favored weapon is the dagger and throwing dagger.

In Faiths and Pantheons, it is said that "Gargauth is a former arch-devil whose foul nature was too much even for others of his ilk. Exiled from the Nine Hells, Gargauth took to wandering the planes, returning time and again to Toril. His cult blossomed during the war between the Harpers and the maleugryms. In addition to the Dark Deities, Gargauth is also opposed to evil deitis such as Cyric and Shar. He poses a particular threat to Siamorphe, given his interest in corrupting those she holds up as shining paragons of virtue."

Reminds me. This handy web enhancement says the following about him:

Gargauth

Gargauth (gar-goth), the god of betrayal and political corruption, is

lawful evil. His titles include the Outcast and the Hidden Lord.

Rumored to have originally been a powerful devil cast out of the

Nine Hells (Baator) after crossing the dark powers who dwell there,

he has since wandered the Material Plane seeking souls to corrupt.

Subsequent to exiting Baator, he gained enough power to ascend to

godhood. He grants great powers to his worshipers, but those who

accept his bargains inevitably pay a terrible price in the end. The

domains associated with him are Charm, Evil, Law, and Trickery,

and his favored weapons are the dagger and the throwing dagger.

Dicefreaks.com also has info on Gargauth in their Gates of Hell. (I believe it was vol 7 or 8.)
