one resembles a black bat wing, the other an irudescent insect's wing.  Voss'rec has long black hair and skin of reddish hue, while his eyes are both different; one a normal-looking eye but vibrant green with red striations, and the other entirely pitch black.  Despite his sinister appearance, Voss'rec is remarkably handsome, if one could get past the unusual colors, scaly patches of skin, and vestigial wings.  He is fairly muscular but lithe, and stands about 6-1/2 feet tall.Voss'rec dresses in black and grey leathers, and carries his blades, a pair of Swords of Subtlety augmented with +5 enhancement bonuses and the Wounding quality, on him at all times, in simple sheathes at his thighs.  He wears a Mantle of Spell Resistance over his shoulders, as a cloak would irritate his vestigial wings.  Boots of Teleportation adorn his feet.Voss'rec is the leader of the Guild of Sibilant Shadows, the largest and most successful guild of assassins, thieves, bounty hunters, smugglers, ladies of the night, and black marketeers in the southern lands.  He naturally wants to ensure business as usual goes on unhindered, and despite his dark demeanor, Voss'rec has a vested interest in making sure that conditions remain suitable to continued business.  He cares nothing for life, not even his own, and is simply driven by a burning passion for both murder and profit.  Money buys him women and luxury, and all three sides of his heritage lust after these.  He never passes up an opportunity to attempt seducing a woman, or murdering someone who irritates him.  Of course the nature of the conference will constrain him in this to some extent, which will get frustrating after a while.Voss'rec is a very intelligent and clever leader, methodical and calculating but adaptable.  He tends to favor his Tanar'ri heritage in its chaotic whims, but tempered by his calculating mind and desire to keep things running smoothly for the Guild.  He is accompanied by three senior guild officers on this trip: Rishnal the Bloody Paw, Crilnas of the Blackened Hand, and Surulka the Scarlet.Rishnal is a tall, burly gnoll with dark fur and cruel yellow eyes.  Getting a bit old, Rishnal is still the top enforcer of the Guild for now, and Voss'rec's informant on happenings within the guild.  Rishnal keeps an eye on other guild members and some of their clients, and he's fairly canny for a gnoll.  He wears grey and black leathers like his boss, but carries a number of throwing axes on his person, and a pair of +1 Vorpal Battleaxes.  Rishnal is a Lawful Evil Rogue 7/Ranger 8/Assassin 1.Crilnas is rather tiny by comparison, being a short halfling of unremarkable features and no apparent danger.  He wears simple traveler's clothes, with no visible weaponry or armor, but in fact Crilnas keeps a dagger sheathed under each sleeve and wears a +5 Mithral Shirt of Greater Silent Moves under his outer clothing.  He always has a few Greater Magic Weapon spells prepared in case he needs to put his daggers to use; they are ordinary daggers otherwise.  The halfling is getting on in years, in late middle age, and the only remarkable feature about him, which he conceals with gloves usually, is that his right hand is blackened.  Crilnas burned his hand badly long ago, when he tried to steal from a fiery celestial of some sort, and was only able to get it partially healed.  Crilnas is a Chaotic Neutral Rogue 3/Cleric 15, dedicated to Olidammara, and carries his unholy symbol in a vest pocket usually.  He favors negative energy and Olidammara's darker aspects, but not entirely.  Crilnas serves as the Guild's healer and religious leader, for those in the Guild who worship The Laughing Rogue as patron of thieves and assassins.  Crilnas is not particularly fond of violence himself, but has a foul temper and will do almost anything for treasure.  Intensely greedy, Crilnas takes an overly-large chunk of the Guild's profits for himself but is kept around because he's useful and some of the guild members might get upset if Voss'rec just kills the thieving priest.  In any case, Crilnas shares some of Voss'rec's obsessions, so Voss'rec generally gets back some of the guild's money from Crilnas through the guild's control of brothels in the south.  Besides serving as religious leader and magic-user for the Guild of Sibilant Shadows, Crilnas manages the Guild's thieves, black marketeers, and smuggling rings.Surulka is a wicked beauty, a female tiefling of similar heritage to Voss'rec but without such repulgnant signs of it.  She has small, vestigial horns but no other overt signs of her fiendish heritage.  Her appearance is both cruel and attractive, though she's a little plump from too many years indulging in sweetmeats, since she has enjoyed a profitable tenure as the chief manager of the Guild's brothels, and Voss'rec's chief consort.  Surulka has scarlet hair and fair skin, unblemished thanks to her Succubus heritage.  She wears the black and grey leathers common to members of the guild, though she wears much less than Voss'rec or Rishnal.  Surulka keeps a dagger concealed in each boot, but rarely uses them, preferring conjured minions to do any fighting for her.  She's mainly along as Voss'rec's consort and arcane support.  Surulka is a Chaotic Evil Sorcerer 10/Rogue 3/Shadowdancer 3.  She favors enchantments and conjurations, but knows a few spells of other schools.</blockquote>
