Angazhan’s cult is focused on Garund with incredible precision with Usaro and the Gorilla King. But disgusting humans live across Golarion, and there are other apes in other jungles.  Tobutoo is an Oran-Pendak whose tribe was led by a fiendish dire ape for over a generation. Tobutoo’s tribe, unlike most of the species, is not shy. Tian-Sing tribes throughout Minata tell tales of the ape men who raid villages bearing demonic masks. 

Tobutoo, the first actual orang-pendak to lead the tribe in nearly fifty years, is not a stupid man. While his tribe (and he) worship Angazhan, he also values shiny and magical items.  Tobutoo can be pacified by promising even a simple +1 weapon for his use.

Within Usaro, the Gorilla King Ruthazek rules absolute, but in a chaotic, near-Abyssal society, even a dictator has to watch his back.  Beruvomo, a High Girallon, along with his Babau companion, Ravening Slovtian, is perhaps the most frightening challenge to Ruthazek, for Beruvomo never spent a day as a human.  

Angazhan’s Antipaladin Code

 I will not let a human stand proud

 Flesh, all flesh, is my prize, and I kill what I eat.

The jungle is my home, and I will show the outsider its dangers

Whether they admit it or not, my servants serve me absolutely.

My enemies will be paranoid, for I will poison their very air.

After a Bekyar tribe loses in war with another Bekyar tribe, its common, even expected for the surrendering tribe to be sold into slavery, with the buyer being a mark of respect or disrespect to the defeated foes.  When a Bekyar chieftain despises her conquered foes, she sells them to the charu-ka deep in the Mwangi Expanse. 

Sutidi was born to a tribe that has served as human cattle for the Charu-Ka for three generations.  Born with the Abyss in his veins, Sutidi is considered more ape than man by the druids of Angazhan that rule the Charu-Ka.  Sutidi now is bait, traveling into small Mwangi villages, posing as a lost orphan who seeks aid from the wandering ape-man, hoping to whip up the village’s warriors to an ill-considered expedition.

Hidden away in an abandoned Yamasan swamp, Sculls is the leader of a barbaric tribe descended from the Antipaladin only known as Heartripper. Devoted to Dagon, the Heartripper willingly exposed himself to lycanthropy. Becoming a werecrocodile allowed him to survive in the storms wracking Abendego.   Sculls will ritualistically eat the flesh of her fallen opponents (and allies) along with just for the taste.  She has created several surreal paintings, hidden in a half-dry cave, that she claims is how the world looks while she is under the orgiastic effects of her cannibalism.

Originally from Janderhoff, Anker was an orphan taken in by a member of the High Council. Trained to protect the Sky Citadel as a stalwart defender of the still active tunnels, Anker knew his place in life.  A skilled warrior, defending his people, with a nice apartment to go home to. There was almost nothing he could ask for.

It all changed when he was called in by his adoptive mother, a priest of Torag. Anker was to be sent to a temple of Iomedae in Mendev, to take part in the crusade against the Usher of the Apocalypse. Anker did what he was told, as always. The steadfast dwarf has found the earth beneath his feet unsteady for the first time. The twisted landscape of the Worldwound has frightened him. He has retreated into rather pedantic squabbling about rank and decorum with low crusaders. A sufficiently noble warrior might inspire him to refocus his anger and channel his fear against the demons.

Big Bad Evil Guy Thursday

Even in bloodstained Galt, going after the children of your political enemies is considered going too far. Bozem, a half-insane tooth fairy assassin, specializes in going after the children of prominent Galtans.  More than a dozen children have been found dead in Halvon in the last three months, bleeding profusely from their mouths.

Perhaps most intriguingly, Bozem claims to have seen the true face of a local Grey Gardener captain, though the chattering of this fey can’t be trusted at face value.

Tactics

Before Combat Bozem relies on stealth and ambushes.  Bozem will track a child for days before striking.  Bozem will usually hide, study, cast sleep  and then go invisible before striking.

During Combat Bozem will use his unwitting ally slayer talent to cause a target to flank with him, fly in, use his pliers in a flyby attack with a slowing strike and fly out. He might repeat as needed

Morale Bozem will try to escape as best as possible, as he only cares to grab more teeth, but if cornered, Bozem fights to the death, as he’s not quite all there in the head.

During Combat The Bishopess will summon a schir with summon monster IV, and rely on her demonic charges to bull rush her opponents into the empty volcano caldera. She prepares to cast staggering fall on anyone who falls in. If someone gets in melee range, Lomarniss will use her scythe of evil and fury of the abyss powers.

Kytimin, focused more on her god than anything, has convinced herself that if she performs enough dark rituals, the Burning Maw will smile upon her, and she will gratefully self-immolate as Flauros reignites her volcano home.

Edit: Apologies, I forgot to change her speed after I bought her armor.
