“Bring forth your brave. They, at least, will die swiftly. Those who cannot fight back are not worthy of my weapons.” The Tiefling known as Anteaphon was born in a slum some centuries ago. He struggled with his heritage and looks through his teenage years, emerging at the head of a gang and fighting against the city guard at the time of his sixteenth birthday. At this time, he was visited by his father, a Balor named Loshnak the Sunbiter, who approved of the chaos he was sowing. He rewarded the young Anteaphon with fiendish power, and the ability to brutally shatter his foes with enhanced strength. Overnight, the scrappy young Tiefling became a lethal threat, haunting the back alleys of the city and murdering all those who opposed his will. When he reached his thirty-third birthday, his schemes peaked in their fiendishness. He set two kingdoms against one another with the murder of the ambassador of one country and the prince of the other. The resulting chaos caused wholesale slaughter of thousands, and ended a line of Kings stretching back six centuries. For this feat, his father raised him to become a true Cambion, his powers vastly enhanced, and with a legion of demons at his beck and call. He is cruel and dismissive, honoring only strength in battle, and the ability to hold what can be claimed. Anteaphon makes a good recurring villain, one who will burn a village at the head of a fiendish army, and sneer at those left in the ruins. By the time he shows up, you can probably have several players hating him already. By the time they meet him a second or third time, they’ll love the opportunity to even the scales. Statistics: Anteaphon is undoubtedly Chaotic Evil. The depths of his brutality have impressed even his father on occasion. He is a half-fiend, and a Fighter of no less than 10th level. He rarely travels anywhere without demonic allies, but often deigns to battle an opponent on his own, relishing the chance to bloody his fists.
