This is Nhjera and her Eidolon, a Pathfinder character of mine

Campaign: Carrion Crown
Race: Half-Elf / Devilbound - Erinyes
Class: Summoner
Deity: Besmara
Alignment: Lawful Evil

Nhjera was a typical Half-Elf character. If your typical half-elf character is bound to destroy the world and works with Devil's. However, that wasn't exactly all my fault for the record. So I had a gnome priest, loveable little guy, give you the shirt off his back kind of person. I brought him into a new group where I'd been told everyone was "Good" aligned. So I brought him in all chaotic good, and after a more instances than I can count of saving the party, especially the Paladin, the Paladin got mind controlled and shot him in the back...three times, killing him beyond count. By that time, however, I'd noticed most of the party happened to be chaotic and borderline serial killers. So, I brought in Nhjera, a summoner who's Eidolon was (as you can see in the picture) a multi-armed, winged, dragon like demon who had a will of it's own. Nhjera, while conscious, "rode" inside it using it's body as armor and casting spells through it. As the campaign went on, the Paladin got wished to hell, literally. So, as everyone scrambled to figure out how to bring him back, I went to hell alone and saved him. By making a deal with an Erinyes. As the campaign went on, and we were actively trying to figure out what the horrible undead lord was up to, the party was confronted time and again by horrors brought upon the Paladin's church. The leader of his local church disappeared and was tortured beyond compare. Artwork from the church was taken and desecrated. It's people were living in fear and for some reason the Paladin's likeness always seemed to be who was reported as behind it. So our party was constantly trying to prove the paladin was innocent, tracking down various rumors and stories. And in a funny side note, the entire party thought this was simply all part of the normal campaign. However, it was not. It was me decimating the paladin. To his knowledge, Nhjera's skin had taken on a Devil/demon like quality as part of the pact to save him and I was struggling to retain my humanity. The reality was Nhjera had had herself skinned alive and replaced it with Demonhide (a magical item), a Demon's tongue (her own tongue was cut out and replaced), and a few other things she needed. She even hired an exceptionally good group of Rogues that snuck in, decimated the party in their sleep (killing two people and leaving the rest barely alive and licking their wounds) to steal a holy relic the party needed. Which she then gave to a Devil lord to gain service in his armies. The party just thought it was all part of the campaign (not knowing where the relic went, they assumed it was taken by the Undead lord of the campaign). At the climax of the campaign, as we'd finally defeated the final boss and won the Campaign, the GM then said "And as all eyes are watching your final victory......Nhjera, your move". The rest of the party paused, trying to figure out what this meant. And Nhjera then attacked the Paladin, taking away his weapon and flying up into the air, stating that if he sacrificed himself and went to hell, she's spare the rest of the party. He of course, chose to try to fight and a few people were thrown to their deaths off the top of a 600 foot tower, the others were ripped apart, beaten down, breath weaponed, etc. until the paladin finally submitted to his fate. It was a beautiful moment of betrayal that, unfortunately, the party still keeps in their mind and would worry about my next characters from that time forward.

Lesson of the day: Never allow a demon summoning person to go to hell to save a Paladin. Let that Paladin die!
