!!Ileosa Arabasti, Queen of Korvosa
->'''Race:''' Human (Chelaxian)
->'''Class:''' Aristocrat/Bard
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her dress has a plunging neckline down to her belly.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Even before becoming queen she was a petty bitch.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Dons the ''Crown of Fangs'', which contain a piece of Kazavon's [[SoulJar soul]].
* AssassinOutclassin: [[spoiler: The captain of the Sable Company tries to assassinate her by shooting her in the head with a crossbow. [[NoSell She doesn't even flinch]], and stabs him between the eyes with his own crossbow bolt.]]
* BareYourMidriff: The outfit she wears in the original release during the final confrontation with the players includes this.
%%* BigBad
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Presents herself as an innocent woman in mourning for her husband, but is in reality anything but.
* DemonicPossession: She was influenced by the spirit of an evil dragon, Kazavon. But not completely, because it's MoreThanMindControl.
* DepravedBisexual: As well as her marriage to the late king, there are rumors of a relationship with her female bodyguard. WordOfGay confirms that she is bisexual.
* TheDitz: Before Kazavon's influence increased her competence, she had an Intelligence and Wisdom score of 9 and 7 respectively.
* EvilIsPetty: Pre-possession. Even post-possession, her goals are still exceptionally petty compared to the body count she's willing to cause.
%%* EvilRedhead
* EvilSorcerer: She's an evil Bard, whose powers are amplified exponentially by Kazavon's fangs.
* FinalSolution: Decides to use Blood Veil to kill off the Varisian and Shoanti populations of Korvosa, [[EvilIsPetty because her vanity causes her to hate the idea that not everyone in the city looks like her.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Sure she was Queen of Korvosa beforehand, but she was such a spineless coward that it wouldn't have made any difference. Then she found the ''Fangs of Kazavon'' and became a fully-fledged monster.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
%%* GoldDigger
* HealingFactor: To the point that [[spoiler: a headshot with a crossbow doesn't even phase her.]]
* ImmortalityImmorality: Plans to murder thousands of people to achieve eternal youth.
* KillThePoor: Unleashes a plague with this goal in mind.
* ManipulativeBastard: To the point that the book notes that it's entirely possible that even if she's killed she'd manipulate an ''archdevil'' into letting her out of hell.
* MoreThanMindControl: While the Fangs of Kazavon did implant a shard of the evil dragon's spirit in her, it didn't take control over her. Rather it just gave her a huge confidence boost.
* PimpedOutDress: Wears one to Trinia's execution (and is seen wearing it several other times during the campaign).
* RedheadInGreen: Her original outfit is mostly green, though she switches into a magical red gown about halfway through the campaign.
* RichBitch: Originally, though she quickly goes from this to a full-on monster.
%%* SanitySlippage
%%* SocialDarwinist
%%* TheSociopath
%%* SorcerousOverlord: Female variant.%%ZCE

[[folder:Kazavon]]
!!Kazavon
->'''Race:''' Blue Dragon
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil
* AnimalisticAbomination: While it's rather ambiguous if he actually was one, the thing to keep in mind is that his power came ''[[DarkMessiah directly]]'' from [[GodOfEvil Zon-]][[HumanoidAbomination Kuthon]], and according to the opening notes of the Relics of Kazavon chapter of [=CotCT=] book 6, he was regarded as such by other mortals.
* ArtifactOfDoom: After Kazavon's death, seven powerful evil artifacts that still contained his wicked spirit were made from his remains. They can corrupt those they touch, and [[DismantledMacGuffin if all seven are assembled]], can be used to resurrect him.
%%* AxeCrazy
* BackFromTheDead: If you screw up at the end of the Adventure Path. Have fun with the CR 25 Blue Dragon.
* BadassMustache: He had one in human form, as part of his UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler homage design.
* BreathWeapon: Like all blue dragons, he can spit lightning.
* TheCorrupter: Each ArtifactOfDoom has this ability, inflicting the user with a case of WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity.
* TheChampion: Of Zon-Kuthon.
* DarkMessiah: Kazavon was empowered by the God of Darkness to be his greatest weapon.
* DemotedToDragon: His disembodied spirit, using the Everdawn Pool to create a weaker body for himself, fights by Ileosa's side as a guardian.
* TheDragon: To Zon-Kuthon, in the most literal sense of the term.
* AFateWorseThanDeath: The Church of Zon-Kuthon believes him being bound to someone as petty as Ileosa is this for him, though his own opinion on the matter is never stated.
* GreaterScopeVillain: One whose threat doesn't end with Illeosa's defeat.
* HauntedCastle: His stronghold, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Scarwall]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Ileosa, though the degree to which he's influencing her is never explicitly stated. WordOfGod indicates that all he really did was give her the intelligence and confidence to do what she wanted to do anyway.
* TheMole: In the {{Backstory}}, Kazavon disguised himself as a human warrior and helped a duke reclaim his lands from rampaging orcs. When the land was secured, Kazavon took the land for himself and began building his kingdom of darkness.
* MoreThanMindControl: As noted above, Ileosa willingly falls under his sway when she comes in contact with his preserved fangs.
%%* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: He's essentially Golarion's Vlad the Impaler (technically, he ''is'' literally the son of a Dragon). His human form even looks like him.
%%* PosthumousCharacter
%%* PsychoElectro
* PsychoForHire: He posed as a [[HiredGuns mercenary]], and essentially works for [[GodOfEvil Zon-Kuthon]] because of the opportunities it gives him to hurt people.
* {{Sadist}}: Against unsatisfactory minions as well as his enemies.
* SealedEvilInACan: Toyed with. Kazavon is sealed in seven soul jar style cans.
* ShockAndAwe: Like all blue dragons, Kazavon breathes electricity.
%%* SoulJar: The above-mentioned Artifacts of Doom.%%Examples should not reference other parts of the page.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His spines are much more pronounced than in other blue dragons.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He could take on a human form, and actually ''preferred'' his human form over his dragon form; he found that people were much more likely to willingly follow a cruel tyrant than an evil dragon, and he found the sensation of blood on soft skin to be more appealing than feeling it on hard scales.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: Though that's because of elven genetics rather than evil.
* EpicFlail: She fights with a spiked chain.
%%* GenkiGirl
* HeelFaceTurn: If she survives Scarwall, she leaves the church of Zon-Kuthon.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: In the pictures, her armor seems to be a hooked chainmail body stocking. This is changed for the UpdatedRerelease, since WordOfGod said that no one liked her original look and it being included in the final product was a miscommunication.
