As with anything I do, no stats, just the flavor/fluff/lore etc which is what I value more, and what I have fun writing.It's a shame that I haven't had the chance to write up the full story for the Shackler yet. I've kind of overextended myself lately, and I just started a new job...But here's a bit of an excerpt, it might inspire you based on what little there is that's coherent so far. The rest is just a few pages of plot outlines and musings on different aspects of tyranny. And as much as I generally cannot stand the notions from 'Guide to Hell' (it force feeds Zoarastrianism into DnD's Baator, implying a monolithic Good/Evil duality in the cosmology where that concept is frankly alien), I actually intend to pick upon, or maybe just warp and pervert, the notion of the Lord of the 9th, or some incarnation of him, being a fallen LN entity of some sort, mixed with the idea of Asmodeus as a sort of Judas of the Ancient Baatorians depending on how you look at it. And of course, there's a 'loth lurking in the background, though the story is more about the Baatezu/Baatorians than the Baernaloth who has toyed with their genesis over the eons.</blockquote>
