Pazrael
Pazrael appears as a huge vrock-like tanar’ri with gold and crimson feathered wings. He favors vrock, nabassu and chasme, and also perytons, harpies and gargoyles in his Abyssal plane. Pazrael is dual-minded—sometimes he is cool, controlled, and subtle, but he also has random outbursts of maniacal rage, when all that will please him is to grasp some sentient creature in his huge taloned feet and rip it apart with his great beak.
Pazrael has an alliance with Iuz for several reasons. First, he is wary of Graz’zt and feels Graz’zt may have designs on his Abyssal plane, so one way of keeping tabs on what Graz’zt is doing is by having his own fiends in Iuz’s domain. Conflicts between fiendish servitors of Pazrael and Graz’zt are not uncommon. Second, his nabassu grow strong marauding within Iuz’s realm. Third, Pazrael has a long-term goal of supplanting Iuz on the Prime Material, a goal he realizes will take decades to achieve, but it will be swifter learning as much of Iuz as he can. Unknown to Pazrael, Iuz is fully aware of this and intends to use it as a lever in his own dealings with Graz’zt. Finally, Pazrael is eager to discover the secrets of such malign magical items as blackwands and ghastrobes, and his fiends are under standing orders to acquire one and learn all they can of their manufacture.
