Overlord

You are an Overlord–one of the elite of the Sinners in the Pride Ring of Hell. You rub elbows with figures like Carmilla Carmine, Alastor the Radio Demon, Rosie of Cannibal Town, Zestial, and the Vees. Your main goal is likely to secure the power you have and obtain even more power via Soul Contracts and Hell's cutthroat political scene. Or you may be focused more on the Exterminations, trying to keep the Exorcists and Heaven from diminishing your power by protecting the Sinners under your control from the angelic army.

Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Intimidation

Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set or musical instrument, plus calligrapher's supplies or forgery kit

Languages: Two of your choice (Abyssal or Infernal recommended)

Equipment: Fine clothes or a tailored suit, an insignia of rank (an engraved cane, glowing broadcast mic, or branded token), a ledger of contracts or souls, and a belt pouch containing 25 gp.
