campaign 5 part bad guy team need help building

[Count Coltello]

So based on the other thread (how do you like builDing campaign)
I'm designing a 5/6 man team for baddies

First was the the dark chick I dunno it screams dervish dancer to me not sure why

Next is bezerker the two handed fighter (maybe a thunder striker?)

The master mind would be a homunculus wizard (love homunculus and wanna have fun with them)

The dragon is a two part boss once third boss (disguised as a human) maybe wizard? Then final boss as a dragon (wanting dragon to be true bbeg behind it all)

Then the big bad guy (one everyone thinks is in charge (even he thinks it)) i'm thinking paladin or antipaladin (depending on players alignments (this one will have a normal paladin complex (i'm the best not you I make rules)

Setting: not sure

main cities: undead city and capitol city (depending on alignment)

Mcguffin:soul reaver (based off raveners soul powers) and some holy sword? Depending on alignment again

Need help with stating some guys, and some fluff/ side quests, advice, working on two main swords (side stories where they come in and if pcs use them of just bbeg)

Last is how do I set them (pcs) on road to fight bbeg?

[Count Coltello]

Maybe summoner instead of dd for first boss

[CWheezy]

Dragons are usually sorcerers, not wizards.

You could have the antipaladin be a grave knight as well, so that he commands undead and whatnot

What level are these guys supposed to be? Any race restrictions or anything like that?

[Caedwyr]

For your casters or any enemy you want to stick around for a while, an armiger cohort/ally can work well to make them more survivable against an adventuring party.

[Count Coltello]

Let's say 17-20th lvl no race/class restrictions

For the paladin/anti battle i'm thinking he sits in his throne room on his throne sending hordes of troops at the pcs until he finally has to get up and do it him self

The bezerker i'm thinking a bar bar brother of the paladin (parents liked paladin better so only attention he received was when he broke stuff) maybe a short guy with a little guy complex

The mastermind I'm thinking the PCs walk through the,house/ building bunch of little homunculus who pcs can pprobably walk through with out attacking, if they kill wizard with out killing them they swarm the PCs with the "champion homunculus" the wizard created for his defense

so when they defeat the engineer boss he traps his soul in his homunculus (a beast bonded witch can do it) so maybe the homunculus boss is a witch?

Anyway the (which? Wizard) boss in the homunculus shoes up for final show down along with others

Alright it's official evil pcs good guy bosses so paladin not antipaladin (main one it affects)

Guess it would effect motive too

The bad pcs go to capitol city to "spy" it to assassinate the king (paladin) and his "secret service" get in the way. Could bee a good dragon trying too stop the evil PCs withput revealing his true nature (because dragons are rare)

As for dragon being "man behind the man" what about a advisor sorcerer are there any archetypes that are advisor ish

Or it could just really be a sorcerer and not connected to dragon at all

@cwheezy that's a cool build she would probably have more money than normal too (I like,my npc's to have PC gold for boss battles)

[CWheezy]

The drow I posted actually has pc wealth for level 17, It is sad that no undead, although bad guy vs bad guy can be fun
