Hi! I had an idea for a demon character. Her mate defied Mathias, and so the wizard killed him and their two offspring and now this particular she-demon is out for wizard blood, through any means possible. Mathias's henchmen are on the lookout for her (as she shared in her mate's crime), but she might be able to help you out with infiltration and so forth.<BR><BR>Howzat sound?<BR><BR>--Aiwe<BR><BR><b>Edit</b><BR><BR>OK, I did some more thinking here. I've got a sketchy bio/subplot worked out. I know you said no Black Army members, but what about defectors? Here's my idea:<BR><BR>Name: Dzan'caya Roc-channis, Duchess of the Seventh Circle.<BR><BR>Race: Demon noble<BR><BR>Gender: female. <BR><BR>Occupation: Duchess<BR><BR>Appearance: Like a human woman, tall, graceful, and extremely beautiful, but with blue-black skin faintly patterned like a snake's. Sleek black bat's wings, two graceful lyre-shaped horns behind her pointed ears, the top pair longer than the bottom pair. Vivid yellow eyes. Black hair left to grow long, and which runs in a mane down her spine. Pieces of it are braided here and there, with black glass beads in the weave. Her fingers and toes have fully-retractable claws. She also has a long, serpentine tail with a bladelike arrowhead tip. <BR><BR>Armour/Weapons: Dzan'caya wears something that resembles a leotard, but it is made of very fine black chain mail, lined with black silk. It leaves her arms and back bare, with a clasp at the back of her neck, and extends down to the bases of her toes. It's a lot lighter than it looks. On her feet are sandals that lace up her calves, leaving her toe-claws free. She has leather gauntlets on her forearms. Over this, when she feels she needs it, goes a set of sleek black plate armour, including a helmet and wing-guards. She cannot fly when armoured thus, since to is too heavy a load. Her favored hand-weapon is a quarterstaff with serrated blades at either end, though she does carry an assortment of knives about her person.<BR><BR>Abilities: Black magic, especially control over fire and shadow. Uses green mage-fire as a weapon. She can fly, also, and is a ferocious warrior. She fights dirty.<BR><BR>Bio: Dzan'caya allied herself and her armies with Mathaias in the takeover of Lebennin, seeing power over the mortal kingdoms. The wizard, however, was plotting to create a special bond between the Demon Kingdoms and his forces so that he could control them absolutely with his magic. This spell of his required an alliance--a marriage alliance--between the two forces. Having disowned his only heir and daughter, Mathaias chose his most blindly loyal, impressionable, and malleable apprentice to name as his heir. He saught to join his heir with the highest noble of the Demon Kingdoms--at that time, the Duchess of the Seventh Circle. Such an unholy alliance would forever bring the Demon Kingdoms under the trall of the wizards. The Demons themselves had used such binding magics in the past, to bend power-hungry mortals to their will. But now the dark magic would be used in reverse, and none but Dzan'caya seemed to realize this. The demons had planned to bind Mathaias to themselves, but the Duchess knew that the wizard had planned for this, and that only one binding would take place on the marriage-day. She told this to her mate, who became enraged and tried to kill Mathaias. It didn't work. Dzan'caya's mate and the two children she had borne by him were killed, and the Duchess herself knew that she would be forced into the binding ritual if she stayed. So she escaped, and now she seeks to destroy Mathaias before he gets the whole of the Demon Kingdoms in his power. She still wants control of mortal lands, but this has become a secondary objective.<BR>
