I have been converting some of the NPCs from the Shady Dragon Inn supplement to use in my campaign. I am sharing my work in case others want to use as well.
Warduke CR 7
Warduke is a muscular individual who dresses in fearsome looking armor and carries a shield emblazon with a symbol that looks like a demonic skull. He is never seen in public without his signature black winged helm that obscures his facial features.

Warduke was once a force for good and right in the world. Then he was exposed to the Heartstone, which amplified the evil that hid at the core of his personality. His one time ally, Strongheart the Paladin, is now his greatest enemy. Warduke and his allies scheme to seize control of at least a small country to establish a base of operations for some greater plan.
Note: Warduke also has a Nightmare that he uses as a mount.
This represents Warduke at an early stage of his career as predented in "The Shady Dragon Inn."

Skylla was once the student of the wizard Ringlerun. Because her arcane talent was inate, he spent most of his time trying to teach her the morality of magic. However, when she was exposed to the Heartstone she began to seek out dark and harmful magic and fled from her master's side. Now she uses magic as a means to gain personal wealth and power. She hates her former master and his "soft and weak" approach to magic.

Raven is not evil herself but she does love the evil Warduke and loyally follows him. She knows that he is greedy and power hungry but she will still do anything to help him. She was not exposed to the Heartstone, instead her true nature was suppressed by her love for Warduke. She was once good friends with Mercion, but now has a hatred for the good cleric because Mercion condemns Warduke.

Fox Fingers is such a good thief that he could steal the ring off a newlywed's finger without the person realizing it. He carries a magical dagger that he stole from a wizard in the southern desert and four other daggers in various places as backups. He also carries a magical sword that was given to him by Warduke. When he was exposed to the Heartstone he became ashamed of his crimes and vowed to kill everyone who knows he is a thief. For now he works with Warduke to achieve that goal, but he knows one day he will have to kill Warduke and his companions as well.

Zarak was once known as "Elf Friend" for his relationship with the elf wizard Peralay. However, during the quest for the Heartstone both of them were exposed to the magic pf the stone. It brought out Zarak's cruel and violent nature and he tried to steal the Heartstone, only to be stopped by Peralay. As a result Zarak swore vengeance against his former friend and joined Warduke's band as means to achieve this revenge.
