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

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.

Rakshasa Immortals
Source: Book of the Damned
Once in a great while, a rakshasa achieves a purity of evil that allows it to break free from the cycle of death and reincarnation and transcend its own mortality. The power of such rakshasas approaches that of the gods they think they are.
Unlike the other pantheons described in this book, the rakshasa immortals do not present themselves as having traditional areas of concern, for each of these immortals is concerned primarily with its own glory and power. And while each rakshasa immortal has its own unique appearance and personality, they have little interest in diversification among their faithful. All rakshasa immortals grant access to the same domains (Animal, Evil, Law, and Trickery), the same subdomains (Deception, Fear [see page 180], Fur, and Tyranny [see page 182]), and the same favored weapon (kukri).
All rakshasa immortals are lawful evil and range in power from CR 21 to CR 25. The boons they grant are less complex than those granted by other fiendish demigods, manifesting as spell-like abilities usable twice per day each.
