Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs. She is thoughtless in her actions and acts on whims, regardless of the suffering it causes others.
In many ways, a chaotic evil character is pinned down by her inherent nature to be unpredictable. She is like a spreading fire, a coming storm, an untested sword blade. An extreme chaotic evil character tends to find similarly minded individuals to be with—not out of any need for company, but because there is a familiarity in this chaos, and she relishes the opportunity to be true to her nature with others who share that delight. - Areas of Concern

Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices. He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think., NENeutral 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., CE
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him.Chaotic EvilA chaotic evil character is driven entirely by her own anger and needs.

Whispers on the Wind (Sp)
Possession (Sp)
You can cast magic jar once per day as a spell-like ability. You can use a holy symbol of Pazuzu or a statue of Pazuzu as your receptacle—if you do so, you can determine the exact creature type and position of all potential life forces you’re capable of possessing. This ability is the equivalent of a 7th-level spell.
True Temptation (Sp)
If any creature speaks Pazuzu’s name aloud three times with a single breath, and that creature is within 60 feet of you, you can cast quickened charm monster on that creature as an immediate action. You can use this power up to three times per day. Creatures with fly speeds take a –4 penalty on saves against this effect. If a creature that fails its save against this effect has protection from evil or a similar effect activated, that effect is immediately and automatically dispelled. You can use this ability against a creature that has not invoked Pazuzu’s name, but if you do so, it functions as a normal (non-quickened) charm monster spell that does not dispel protection from evil effects. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell.

Pazuzu’s Voice (Sp)
Siren of the Skies (Ex)
Your form becomes avian in aspect—your hair transforms into a mane of feathers, feathered wings sprout from your back, and your face takes on a birdlike profile with a hooked nose and chin. Your new wings grant you a fly speed equal to your base speed (good maneuverability). In addition, your voice becomes sweet and melodic, with an astonishing range. You gain a +4 bonus on Perform (oratory) and Perform (sing) checks, and the save DCs of language-dependent or sonic effects you create increase by 1. When you must attempt opposed Charisma checks against a charmed subject to convince it to do something it wouldn’t ordinarily do, you can roll twice and take the result you prefer as your actual result.
Avian Mastery (Su)
Any creature flying under its own power (flight from a source other than a spell, spell-like ability, or magic item) that attempts to attack you with a melee attack must attempt a Will save (DC = 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Charisma modifier). If the creature fails, it can’t follow through with the attack, that part of its action is lost, and it can’t directly attack you for the remainder of the round. Once a creature succeeds at this save, it is immune to this ability for 24 hours.

You can use this ability against a creature that has not invoked Pazuzu’s name, but if you do so, it functions as a normal (non-quickened) charm monster spell that does not dispel protection from evil effects.

Master of Air (Sp)
The Wind, My Shield (Su)
A cylinder of swirling wind constantly surrounds you, an effect you can dismiss or reactivate as a free action. While this effect is active, you gain a +4 deflection bonus to Armor Class, and all ranged attacks against you suffer a 50% miss chance. These supernatural winds can even deflect ranged touch spell effects (such as rays) and massive ranged weapons such as ballista bolts or thrown boulders. As a standard action, you can also direct these winds to assail a creature within 30 feet; this acts as a bull rush or trip attempt, using your Constitution modifier in place of your Strength modifier. You can maintain this wind shield for a number of rounds per day equal to your Hit Dice, but these rounds need not be consecutive.
Champion of Shibaxet (Sp)
The King of the Wind Demons grants you mastery over the power of the winds. You can cast winds of vengeance as a spell-like ability once per day.
