Erinys (Fury Devil)

 The erinys' (not sure if that's the correct plural? feel free to correct me) are the archetypical fallen angel. While perfectly capable of holding their own in a fight, it also has a rather high deception bonus, and some neat illusion spells - meaning she (or he) will try to sway you and lead you astray first, and will only fight you if they're out of options (or you know... if you really, really manage to piss them off)

Sorren Skyspear is an overly zealous and often violent aasimar inquisitor. His entire life, he has been dreaming of meeting his angellic progenitor. When he finally gets the chance, it's in the middle of a battle with some Outer Ones' cultists - and she is majestic in her holy violence. Enthralled with her nigh-divine presence, he hops along with her on missions of divine retribution. When he realizes that the missions have been more and more violent for smaller and smaller slights, and that his "progenitor" is no angel, it is almost too late for his soul.

After a long life spent in one adventure after another, Lord Durnsdale retires to his estate. Deciding to finally live his life as the noble he was born as, he takes for himself a bride, a beautiful young woman named Jolene he met during one of his many adventures. Jolene, herself highly educated, takes an interest in helping the good lord rule over his people. Secretly, she also keeps slipping mind-numbing poisons in his mead, until she finally has practically free reign over their estate. Luckily, the lord has yearly reunion feasts with his old crew - whoever remains alive of them, at least - and some of them are bound to notice something is amiss.

Rapunzel is a crafty Erinys devil living in an enchanted tower in the middle of nowhere. Using illusion spells to disguise ropes as his unnaturally long and majestic beard, he lures would-be saviours of both genders to his abode. Once there, he uses seduction and charms to lull the heroes into feeling safe, at which point he strikes, chaining his victims and dragging them to the hellish dungeons beneath the tower, where he tortures them until death.
