About Mephistopheles.Backstory:
Standing, casually sipping from a fine crystal goblet, a tall, muscular man with red skin, cloven hooves, and black hair and horns raises said goblet to his lips. His blue eyes crinkle in amusement at those gathered together.
The mischievously grinning devil offers a wink to his newest group of malcontents.
In the small town of Eldridge, a once-peaceful community was rocked by the clandestine activities of Mephistopheles, a cunning devil who sowed seeds of sedition among the townsfolk, promising power and riches in exchange for their souls. The church of Mitra, a bastion of hope and morality, became embroiled in a fierce battle against the seductive allure of his dark influence. However, his efforts were thwarted when a group of vigilant paladins, tipped off by whispers of sinister gatherings, descended upon the town. Armed with holy light and unyielding resolve, they caught Mephistopheles in the midst of his manipulations, ready to face judgment for the chaos he had unleashed. The saddened blue eyes of the Devil drip a lonely tear.
The devil shrugs.
The tall devil roars a disturbing laugh at that... Crunch:

Traits:
Sedition You have attempted to covertly stir up rebellion against your rightful sovereign. This differs from high treason in that you attempted to convince others to make war against Talingarde instead of taking direct action yourself. A subtle difference to be sure. But it is the difference between receiving the swift justice of the axe instead of the slow suffering upon the rack. Punishment: Death by beheading Benefit: You receive a +1 trait bonus to Bluff checks and Bluff is always a class skill for you. Further if you ever take the Leadership feat, you gain a +1 trait bonus to your Leadership score. Clever Wordplay
Arcane Temper
Umbral Unmasking [Drawback]
Illusion (Shadow) School:
Extended Illusions (Su): Any illusion spell you cast with a duration of “concentration” lasts a number of additional rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level after you stop maintaining concentration (minimum +1 round). At 20th level, you can make one illusion spell with a duration of “concentration” become permanent. You can have no more than one illusion made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another illusion as permanent, the previous permanent illusion ends. Shadow School
Replacement Powers: The following school powers replace the blinding ray and invisibility field powers of the illusion school. Binding Darkness (Sp): As a standard action, you cast a weave of shadows at any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The shadows entangle your foe for 1 round plus 1 additional round for every five wizard levels you possess. In conditions of bright light, this duration is halved (minimum 1 round). A creature entangled by your shadows has concealment from those without darkvision or the ability to see in darkness, and other creatures likewise have concealment relative to it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier. Shadow Step (Sp): At 8th level, you can use this ability to walk through the Shadow Plane and reappear as a standard action. You can travel up to 30 feet per wizard level per day in this fashion, either in a single round or broken up across multiple shadow steps. This movement must be used in 5-foot increments and does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Travel through the Shadow Plane is imprecise; when you arrive, you re-enter 1 square off target, as per the rules for thrown splash weapons. If this would place you in an occupied square, you instead arrive in the nearest safe location. When you arrive, you are cloaked in shadow and gain concealment as the blur spell for 1 round. You may bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each additional creature brought with you. They likewise re-enter off target (roll location for each creature) and are cloaked in shadow for 1 round. Racial Traits:

At 5th level, you gain a +4 bonus to all saving throws against charm effects. At 10th level, you gain immunity to fire.
