Hextor, Champion of Evil, Herald of Hell, Scourge
of Battle, is the deity of many soldiers and fighters
who deem LE most fit to rule, admiring war
and discord. Of course, others besides those of military
calling follow him. Hextor dwells on the Plane of Acheron but
can wander to those of Hell or even Nirvana.
Most frequently though, Hextor treads the
Prime Material Plane in search of warfare, aiding LE,
opposing good. Especially does Hextor seek
to overthrow those those serving Heironeous (q.v.).
The latter is his half-brother and chief enemy. When
Heironeous chose LG, Hextor opted to serve
LE. Always inferior to his half-brother, the
Lords of Evil granted Hextor six arms instead of a mere pair,
so as to be able to best Heironeous and all other opponents.

Hextor appears as a normal, handsome man when in
disguise, for he can cause four of his arms to meld
with his torso whenever he so desires. His complexion
is fair and his hair jet black, as are his eyes. He is
well-spoken and charming, a hale fellow and a man's
man, yet irresistible to women. He can converse with sages,
reason with philosophers, argue with clergy, discuss arcane secrets
with dweomercraefters. When in his true form, however, Hextor is
gray of skin, lank-haired, red-rimmed eyes bulging from a visage
horrible to look upon. Then he cares only to fight and slay.

In battle, Hextor draws two great bows which fire
iron-barbed shafts. At close range he employs two
spiked bucklers and four weapons. Typically, these
are a fork, a scimitar, a flail and a morning star.

Hextor wears armor consisting of iron scales with
strips of metal at shoulder and cuff. A corslet of like
metal guards his waist and groin. His legs are greaved,
and the armor is everywhere decorated with skulls.
Around his neck is the Symbol of Hate and Discord,
the six red arrows of Hextor, hanging from a
chain of crudely wrought iron links.

In addition to the powers normal to his station as a
lesser god, fighting ability, and assassin's skill, Hextor
is able to arouse discord in his surroundings.
Friend will argue with friend, irks become hate, and
petty jealousy grows to seething rage. Without his
Symbol of Hate and Discord, Hextor does not have
such power, except through magical casting. Hextor
also is prone to carry a magical device, the Trumpet of Acheron,
with him. This instrument can be winded once every six days.
When sounded, it calls forth a squad of skeletons which obey
Hextor's command. Once in every six years, the Trumpet of Acheron can
summon a horde of skeletons and zombies.

and iron weapons struck during such an offery.
