MERREGON
The souls of fallen soldiers, mercenaries, and body-
guards who served evil without reservation often find
everlasting servitude in the Nine Hells as merregons.
These faceless foot soldiers are the hells' legionnaires,
tasked with protecting the realm and its rulers against
intruders.
Masks of Uniformity. Merregons have no individu-
ality, and hence no need for faces. Every merregon le-
gionnaire has a metal mask bolted to its head. Markings
on the mask indicate the only elements of the wearer's
identity that matter: its commander and the layer of the
Nine Hells it serves.
Fearless Obedience. Because of their unshakable
loyalty, merregons form the backbone of many devils'
protective retinues. They shrink from no task, no matter
how dangerous. Unless ordered to fall back, they retreat
from no fight.
