SQ malicious blessing
Malicious Blessing (Su) Rubbing Balchort's head as a standard action gives a dark blessing. The person who done that for the next 24 hours gains +2 insight bonus to ability and skill checks made to fulfill actions that are selfish, cruel, or malicious and a –2 penalty to ability and skill checks that are driven by compassion, mercy, or generosity. Malicious blessing also bestows a faint aura of evil on its recipient as long as it lasts.
Balchort was cursed into a puny mockery of his former might by superiors envious of his enormous successes. Now he has to endure the indignity of near-mortal existence on the Material Plane until he manages to break his curse, reclaim his infernal glory, and take vengeance on those who wronged him!
For now, though, he remains among mortals, scheming and playing petty games of intrigue, crime, and an occasional temptation, leading or advising brutal gangs and ruthless politicians in their operations.

SQ change shape (handsome young male or white raven; alter self or beast shape II)
Aura Of Holy Illumination (Su) HaFiriel is surrounded with celestial radiance increasing light level around him by one step. It has no effect on supernatural darkness.
HaFiriel The Stumbled is a celestial entity that was stripped of majority of his power for his transgression. What act warranted such course of action is uncertain though there are hints that it was his careless sharing of forbidden lore with others, inadvertently letting spread unnamed corruption.
Since his demotion to a semi-mortal form, HaFiriel discovered his predisposition to company of beautiful mortals, good wines, and an occasional game of chances, though he remains confident (some could even say overconfident) in his ability to do good and oppose evil.

Environment forest
Organization solitary, pair, pack (3—6)
Treasure none
Murdeers are a branch of carnivorous ungulates that by quirk of evolution or a fancy of a forest god resemble deers and use their misguiding appearance to hunt both their herbivorous look-alikes and surprise predators that would stalk them.
Murdeers occasionally hunt alone or in pairs, infiltrating packs of deers and tearing them apart up close. Larger packs of murdeers deliberately lure predators to attack them, immediately focusing counterattacks on a single target, while threatening other attackers away.

Language Aklo, Common, Draconic, Protean; telepathy 100 ft.
SQ eldritch ritualist, no breath
Aura Of Distortion (Su) Brother Lie's presence warps the very fabric of nearby space. All calling, summoning, and teleportation effects used or arriving within the aura end 1d6 × 5 feet away in a random direction from their intended destination point.
Eldritch Ritualist (Su) Brother Lie can use Knowledge (dungeoneering) in place of any Knowledge checks made to perform occult rituals and knows a plethora of occult rituals that deal with old ones, outer gods, and other eldritch entities that should not be.
Hurl (Su) Brother Lie can telekinetically hurl a grappled creature of Medium or smaller size with great force, up to 100 feet, dealing 7d6 points of damage to the victim and the creature or object struck, leaving Medium or smaller targets pushed away 10 feet and both knocked prone. The target of the attack can avoid the damage with a successful Reflex saving throw (DC 19). The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.
Mind-Suck (Su) Brother Lie can suck brain fluids of a pinned living creature, dealing 10d6 points of damage and 1d4 points of Intelligence damage per round of maintaining the pin. Brother Lie and any of allied cultists within telepathy range gains 10 temporary hit points and +2 insight bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saving throws for 1 round.
Brother Lie is an affable though inhuman monster, the leader of aberrant cult that worships Things That Should Not Be offering bogus enlightenment into the "True Nature Of The Universe". While not outrightly malicious on individual level, Brother Lie aims of drawing attention of bigger and more alien aberrations to the mortal world do not bode well. Being surrounded by more or less insane, desperate, and chaotic cultists does not make things better either. Still, Brother's words offer a strangely attractive temptation to the downtrodden, depressed, and suffering.
