Zephyros' spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: charm person, disguise self, minor illusion, suggestion
3/day each: alter self, invisibility (self only)
Zephyros has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Zephyros can use his action to polymorph into a humanoid he has seen, or back into his true form. His statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment he is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. He reverts to his true form if he dies.
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) slashing damage.
Zephyros presents a contract to a creature he can see within 5 feet of him. If the target signs the contract, their soul is bound to Zephyros upon their death. The contract's terms are determined by the DM.
Zephyros is a lesser devil, often referred to as a contract devil or soul broker. He is a master of manipulation and deception, using his charm and wit to convince mortals to sign away their souls. Zephyros is a shapeshifter, able to take on the form of any humanoid he has seen. He often chooses a form that is most appealing to his target, using their desires and weaknesses against them. Despite his lower rank, Zephyros is highly intelligent and cunning, making him a dangerous adversary.
Zephyros is driven by the desire to climb the ranks of the infernal hierarchy. Each soul he collects brings him one step closer to his goal. He is particularly fond of bargaining for the souls of those who are desperate or at a crossroads in their lives, as they are often more willing to make a deal.
Zephyros' contracts are intricate and full of loopholes. They are written in Infernal and often appear to offer more than they actually do. The contracts always demand the signer's soul upon death, but the benefits they receive in life can vary greatly. Some may receive wealth or power, while others may simply get the solution to a problem they couldn't solve on their own.
Zephyros is charming and charismatic, often presenting himself as a friend or benefactor. He is patient and prefers to manipulate his targets into making a deal rather than forcing them. However, he is not above using threats or intimidation if necessary. Despite his charming demeanor, Zephyros is ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
