Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her. She seeks to achieve her own ends—but through order, not chaos. Even when boiling with anger, she is more likely to carefully plot vengeance than risk her own death through hasty actions. Sometimes that revenge will take years to happen, and that is acceptable.
A lawful evil character at the extreme end of the spectrum is zealous in her aims and will make any sacrifice to achieve them. Her twisted philosophy can make her paranoid of her closest followers, even family and friends. She stops at nothing to gain control, for only through control can she have peace. Yet even the most powerful and ordered society has its enemies, and to a lawful evil character only the destruction of those enemies can bring fulfillment.

Lawful NeutralA lawful neutral character admires order and tradition, or seeks to live by a code. He might fear chaos and disorder, and perhaps have good reason to do so from past experience. A lawful neutral person is not as concerned about who rules him so much as how secure he and his compatriots are, and finds great solace in the normality of society. Such a character may admire the strongest of leaders and punishments if they keep order, and he may support wars against other nations even if his own country is a brutal invader—his only concern is the rightness of the military action., LE
A lawful neutral character who follows his own code never breaks it willingly, and may become a martyr to defend it.Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her.

Order is everything, at any cost.Neutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest.
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him. - Realms

Cocytus’s Deception (Sp)
White Angel of Hell (Sp, Su)
Baalzebul knows, perhaps a little self-deceptively, that he is the mightiest creature the Prince of Hell has ever created, and from this profane knowledge Baalzebul draws great power. Likewise, in your dark heart you know that you are one of Baalzebul’s favored servants, and this knowledge invests you with authority. Whenever a creature senses your aura, such as with detect evil or similar spells, you radiate an aura as if you had 20 Hit Dice. A number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier, you gain a +20 bonus on Intimidate checks when you flaunt your association with Hell as part of the check. Additionally, you can cast greater command twice per day as a spell-like ability.
Lies of the Son (Sp)
Like the Lord of Flies, you can weave a tapestry of lies so convincing that it can wipe the very identity from individuals’ minds, and you can cleverly use this ability to your advantage. Once per day, you can cast communal mind blank as a spell-like ability.

Flies of the Seventh (Sp)
Master of the Multitudes (Sp)
The Lord of Flies happily lends you his hellish servants to further your unholy cause and, of course, his own glory. Once per day, you can summon a swarm of blood-sucking flies to consume your enemies. This functions as per >summon monster VII, except you can summon only a single swarm of blood-draining flies. Treat this swarm as a tick swarm with the fiendish template and a fly speed of 50 feet (perfect maneuverability).
Consume Divine Flesh (Su)
You relish the thought of the dying Azhia hanging in Baalzebul’s home, hellish flies feasting on the forgotten god’s flesh for eternity. Your obsession with this macabre act has imbued you with mind-warping abilities to make Baalzebul proud. Three times per day as a standard action, you can target a single living creature within 60 feet. If this creature fails a Will saving throw (DC = 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Wisdom modifier), it believes that flies and maggots are infesting its flesh, and it can take no actions for a full round as it claws at its flesh in terror. The imagined pain deals an amount of damage equal to 1d6 per Hit Die you have (maximum 20d6). The target can negate this effect with a successful Will saving throw. This is a mind-affecting effect. This ability has no effect on creatures that don’t have flesh.

Dark Prince’s Son (Sp)
Heir of Hell (Su)
Even if your companions refuse to acknowledge it, you know that your infernal devotion to and sacrifices for Baalzebul have earned you a place at the side of the greatest fiends of Cocytus, just as the Lord of Flies knows he deserves a place at the side of his dark father. Once per day as a standard action, you can declare your infernal birthright to inspire shock and awe in your enemies. Creatures within 30 feet that hear and oppose you must each attempt a Will saving throw (DC = 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Wisdom modifier) or be stunned for 1 round and then shaken for a number of rounds equal to your Hit Dice while contemplating your unholy power. Creatures that succeed at their saving throws are instead shaken for 1d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.
Baalzebul’s Vengeance (Sp)
You can briefly call upon the unfathomable, unholy power of the Lord of Flies to bring down a mighty storm upon those who would oppose you, just as Baalzebul will one day crush all those who stand against him, Hell’s servant or not. Once per day as a spell-like ability, you can cast storm of vengeance.
