Even cooler with the Imaskari and fiend-binding background he's got.Dregoth - he just screams cool. I used him briefly in my first planescape campaign, revolving around his mad quest to become the first deity of Athas, and those seeking to exploit that desire.Daru Ib Shamiq (Hellbound: The Blood War) - Had a hand in creating the fiends, and was responsible for the fall from grace of one of the first archons and then used that fallen archon to grant the fiends their teleportation abilities. And nothing says tough love to your kids like manipulating events to cancel those abilities, dangling false hope to the archon, and then watching your children scramble amid the fallout, jolting them out of any sense of being privileged.And last but not least...She continues to do the same to my players as well. Nothing like a villain who makes you miserable at the same time they make sure you need them. It's infuriating to PCs when they loathe a villain but realize that their death would bring about far worse things via poison pill contracts with other powerful people, many of them good, than just biting the bullet, taking the abuse, and not retaliating.</blockquote>
