Hello everyone!
As I have been gamemastering a campaign for a while, and now i have a need for a monster that is able to inflitrate a court, corrupt a king, to make him paranoid and manipulate the king to do what this monster councilor decides to drive for.
Think of any cliche evil assistant for a king, such as wormtongue to theoden, Jafar to Sultan or Lazarus to Leoric (especially this last one). But i want it so that the king has been driven mad and has executed most if not all other members of his council and family. Motivations ideas would be welcome as well.
For reference, the kingdom is dwarven and inside a mountain (as per usual cliches). It has been in isolation from human lands for couple of decades because the king is paranoid and manipulated.
My ideas thus far: just a regular humanoid or a succubus. But the succubus i have already used and would not want to repeat.
Your help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
