He would ride up and shoot at us with arrows of slaying. We went through a lot of raise deads in his wake. This was back in 1e days when being hit with an arrow of slaying was it - not extra damage, no save. And he wasn't a pushover in a close-up fight either, but we did everything we could to close and keep him from shooting us with impunity. He was something of a terrestrial agent for another big bad though...Shadrach M'shek, Lord of the Pit - Shadrach was a demon-god worshipped by one of the nasty empires of the campaign setting. He frequently made bids for domination of the campaign setting (which was suffused with a lot of swords and sorcery based on the DM's interest in Conan). We encountered him directly once or twice and banished him from the plane by destroying his corporeal form. His worshippers were also the cause of a grand, global war segment of the campaign in which we deployed pretty much all of our many PCs in the setting as parts of various mission teams. It was pretty glorious.</blockquote>
