He attempted to sacrifice himself to stop a planar catastrophe(severing Sharn's link to Syrania, causing the towers to fall), but his sacrifice ended up creating a direct connection to the plane of the dead, replacing the Syrania connection. He was quickly possessed by a paeliryon devil(Fiend Folio) and was forced to watch from inside his own body while the devil raised the inhabitants of the city as undead. The event was so unexpected that the PC(now an NPC, obviously) ended up becoming a greater threat to Eberron than the original villain that caused the catastrophe.In another(sadly defunct) nautical game, I played a Neutral Evil warmage who recently acquired a Cloak of the Manta Ray.(his nickname was "Devilfish") Had the game continued for a few more sessions, he would have swiped the most valuable treasure from the brig, set a fireball to the ship's power room, and escaped using the cloak, thus giving the rest of the party a villain and a reason to keep playing.I'm curious to hear any other stories of players who(intentionally or otherwise) have become NPC villains.</blockquote>
