Description
Hardened by his banishment to the Material Plane, Cesarac has sought revenge on the Ruler of the 4th circle of hell, Fierna. An incredible tactician originating from Phelegthos, Cesarac had been a Pit Fiend in his previous life, before being cast into The Pit of Flame and banished after a resounding defeat. His skin permanently behind him, he seeks to hone his armies and his intellect before attempting to reclaim his position.
Cesarac is an incredibly cunning tactician, with millenniums of knowledge of various battles and fights. His towering form lacks the trademark wings of most bone devils, a product of his banishment. In return, he makes up for this with his blinding speed and wit in combat. While his skill on the field is commendable, he is also known to be an astute negotiator and will avoid unnecessary fights if possible.
Before entering battle, Cesarac will appear crippled and helpless, walking around with a limp and his staff. A DC 20 Insight check reveals that this guise is false and that he is rather much more acrobatic than he leads on to be. In battle, Cesarac will attempt to wither high priority targets with his staff. He is constantly on the move, and will always maneuver himself to prey on weaker appearing targets. He has a keen eye for spells, and will almost always single out weak spell casters. If things grow dire, he will attempt to secure a captive and threaten their allies until they subside. Cesarac will also take note of healers - As soon as he sees someone get brought back from unconsciousness, everyone is a target, including those that are downed.
