An inquisitor was an official (usually with judicial or investigative functions) in an inquisition – an organization or program intended to eliminate heresy and other things contrary to the doctrine or teachings of a repressive faith. Literally, an inquisitor is one who "searches out" or "inquires" (Latin inquirere < quaerere, 'to seek'). Inquisitors sought out the social networks that people used to spread "heresy". There were accounts where the Inquisition could not tell who was a heretic or devout, and they were killed anyway. Instinct: Enforce doctrine

Mercanes are tall, lanky beings resembling humans in shape, albeit with short bodies, exaggerated arms and legs, and blue skin. They are commonly found throughout the planes, buying and selling magical artifacts and trinkets. In fact, some grimoires even state that mercanes literally feed by exchanging money between parties, that they're markets personified... In any case, mercanes are fond of dressing in opulent clothing, though their fashion sense needs a bit of work. While they are certainly capable of putting up a fight, mercanes prefer to hire bodyguards and mercenaries instead of fighting on their own, relying on their warping abilities to get themselves out of trouble. Oh, yeah: they can do that. They also have access to an extradimensional space where they keep all the merchandise in. Helps with traveling without carrying a bunch of luggage. Instinct: To sell

One of many legendary demons to claim the title of "Demon Lord" is Kemosh, a violent being resembling a twisted blend of a warhorse and mastiff. Kemosh lays claim to a region of Hell known as the Infernal Battlefield, a place where demons, devils, and other evil beings from throughout the planes are locked in eternal warfare. Kemosh delights in wreaking havoc in this realm, carving a path of destruction through the battlefield and leaving many an infernal war machine in a scrapheap. Kemosh's mortal worshippers are fond of starting riots in cities, conspiring to get kingdoms to war against each other, and just straight up murdering as many people as they come across. The Lord of Slaughter cares not who spills blood in his name, only that it is done. Kemosh himself wields a colossal hammer named Skullcrusher, which he used to crush the skull of another fiend who formerly laid claim to his title. It is said by many a diabolist that whoever can defeat Kemosh in combat can claim Skullcrusher for their own, but be warned: the hammer has a tendency to corrupt the mind of its wielders, making them more like Kemosh himself...
