Philani, the Inferno of Phlegethos is an archfiend in the service of the Fourth Circle of the Hells under the direction of her grandmother, Fierna. Before her rise as a fiend, Philani worked in the Courts of Hell as a lawyer before taking a brief stint as an adventurer on Quelmar. During this time she met her future consort and arranged to have her soul bound to her service in the Hells.
Physical Appearance
Philani maintains a relatively simple appearance, preferring to rely on her magic and force of will rather than physical presence. She most often presents herself in the guise of a tiefling woman of average height and severe features with golden eyes that blaze with light. She is comfortable in armor, but is most often wearing a gown crafted by sylvan artisans of the Moon Court of faerie that ripples with waves of flame. She has a pair of wings and a short set of black horns that point back along the top of her head.
Personality
Philani is strict and demanding, but not prone to cruelty for its own sake. She judges and punishes other fiends more often than she does mortal souls, and has even been known to offer reasonable terms to mortals seeking power or knowledge. She is a scholar and appreciates lost or hidden knowledge for its own sake as well as for the power it can give. In addition to souls, she often accepts new knowledge as payment for her bargains.
Philani abhors lies and generally deals directly, accurately describing terms of agreements and any potential consequences rather than hide material in fine print. She has a hot temper that is especially set off by deceit, threats to her consort, or interruptions to her personal time. Despite this, she has been known to represent the Hells as a diplomat in negotiations across other planes, and especially among the Moon Court fey, where Philani developed a personal relationship with their leadership.
History
See Sabbatical for details on her mortal life.
After becoming an archfiend, Philani quickly established herself as a capable combatant and a skilled administrator on Phlegethos.
Powers and Abilities
Philani is an accomplished spellcaster who wields fire as her primary source of damage. She also has a commanding presence that demands obedience from those around her, and which can leave her foes unable to avoid her more direct attacks. Of special note is that her hellish flames are capable of overcoming most forms of resistance, so only the most hearty beings can stand up to her flames.
Attacks and Weapons
In combat Philani casts spells and makes weapon attacks with her gavel. The weapon is a +2 mace that deals an additional 2d6 fire damage on hit and can stun lesser devils.
