Stephen Crabbe

Crabbe is an associate, some say apprentice, of Eustace. He has turned against the Monk, and uses his powers to aid Eustace's enemies. He has many of Eustace's abilities, and can neutralize several of the others. In one historical version of this story, Crabbe leaps aboard Eustace's invisible flagship, appearing to float in midair. He stabs the Monk, but is torn to pieces by Eustace's crew.

Stephen is not designed as an adversary to the player characters: he is a resource, if a corrupt one. To flesh him out further, or use him as a later antagonist, assume Stephen is sponsored by a powerful demon that seeks to spread greed through the wealth that trade brings. If he is attacked and needs demonic aides, use the statistics for the mockery demons, given below, but describe them as nimble, toadlike demons dressed in rich fabrics, and don't use the layered combat trick of resurrecting the bodies, then coalescing new forms.
