Legion Devil (Basic Lore)

Legion Devil (CR 11)
Lawful Evil - Medium - Outsider (Devil)
Unlike the hordes of demons in the Abyss, the legions of Hell are numbered, though they are vast. They cannot hope to outnumber their foes or crush them under the mass of their engines of creation, as the Abyss intends. Instead, Hell has a plan. Actually, hundreds of plans. Thousands. The devils of Hell are organized, methodical and patient. All Devils are of uncertain form, especially when they visit the Prime Material, and while on the Prime Material, they almost always look like a race of the Spark. A discerning eye, though, can always detect the immutable, terrible, Evil of the Devilish Urge. Legion devils almost always look like soldierly commoners, although they may cast themselves as any race they wish. They will tend toward dark eyes and hair, as well as features with an undeniable cruel cast. They frequently will have a martial bearing, either nobly or surly in comportment. If they are startled or forced, their true appearance may be seen in glimpses, ruddy of skin and dark of gaze, their innate Evil plain to see writ upon their form and features. Legion devils are the second most common sort of Devils, and they are the commoners of the Hellish Nobility, although they can ascend to incredible levels of prowess. Legion devils are the front line fighters, the perimeter of Hell's offensive line. They march in ranks, and use tactics to improve the company's effectiveness. Their skill in battle and the use of maneuver, positioning, and armaments make them far more difficult to eliminate than seems possible, and it is common for Legion Devils to stand their ground against foes far greater then they are for uncomfortably long times. While this may sound uninspiring, the Legion Devils of Hell are elite warriors. They are fierce, unflinching, highly mobile, and absurdly competent.
