This is something I've been toying around with. Sharp observers will notice that some abilities come from the Rakshasa:
In the courts of the Demon Princes, only the powerful, ruthless and manipulative survive. The Noble Succubus are all. Particulary able succubi rise to power and learn great secrets and forbidden lore, in their eternal sceemings and abuse of mortals. This allows some to gather great power and arise as Nobles of their cursed species - mighty temptesses of the Abyss
