Legendary Resistance (3/Day): Xion, Silencer or Scribes would fail a saving throw, it succeeds instead.   Magic Resistance. Xion, The Silencer of Scribes has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.   Pact of Contract. Xion, The Silencer of Scribes, has made a deal with a Pit Fiend to become the ultimate magic user assassin. They know Counter Spell and Dispel Magic, using his Wisdom score for any relevant rolls. He is able to cast Counter Spell once per round without taking up his reaction. Additionally, whenever he successfully counters a spell, the spell then targets the original caster instead. When Dispel Magic successfully dispells a spell, he is able to cast it as an action at any time until the end of his next long rest.   Incorporeal. As a bonus action, Xion, the Silencer of Scribes, can become Incorporeal and pass through creatures and material. He is not able to be damaged while in this state, and is also invisible, but cannot attack in turn. Casting a spell will return him to corporeality at the end of its casting. Xion, The Silencer of Scribes can exit this state at will.   Aura of Antimagic. As an action Xion, The Silencer of Scribes, can project a 5ft area around him that has the effects of Antimagic Field, with the added benefit that it allows him to still use his own spells through this field. This field lasts until they spend an action to dispel it.   Subversion of Warlock and Patron. Xion, Silencer of Scribes, as an action or upon reaching half their Hit points, transforms into the subsumed form of their former master. A Pitfiend. While transformed he gains all abilities, actions, superior ability scores, and senses of the Pit Fiend while retaining their own abilities. However when in any zone of Antimagic this transformation is temporarily suppressed until they leave it. Lastly, their Hitpoints do not change between forms.

Actions

Multiattack. Xion, Silencer of Scribes, makes three Projected Curse attacks.   Projected Curse. Target creature within 1000ft must make DC 20 Charisma Saving Throw or take 1d12 Psychic Damage as a projected, prismatic dagger embedes itself into their body, and be afflicted with a stackable curse. At the start of each of their turns, for each dagger inside of a target they take 1d4 Psychic damage. Targets may use an action to rip out these daggers, on doing so they take 3d6 Psychic damage. At the end of their turn they may repeat the initial Charisma Saving Throw and on success a single cursed dagger disappates. This attack can bypass Areas with Antimagic effects.

Legendary Actions

Can take 2 Legendary Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Spent legendary actions are regained at the start of each turn.   Curse Detonation (Costs 2 Actions): Xion, Silencer of Scribes, detonates all Projected Curse Daggers on a target of his choice, removing them. Upon doing so he chooses an effect, and the target makes a Charisma Saving Throw.

  • Kill Command: The target takes 3d6 damage per Projected Curse Dagger on them.
  • Stun Command: The target makes a DC 13 + twice the number of daggers Charisma saving throw or becomes stunned for one round. If stuck with six or more Projected curse daggers upon activation, the initative saving throw is an automatic failure.
  • Control Command: Roll a number of d12s equal to the number of Projected Curse Daggers + 1, and if the number equals or exceeds their HP total, then Xion, The Silencer of Scribes, gains control of them until the end of their next turn.
Projected Curse: Xion, Silencer of Scribes, makes three Projected Curse attacks.

Once a normal man, his entire city was converted into undeath by a particular member of the Red Wizards of Thay. So he made a deal with a Pitfiend to be able to nullify all variations of magic in order to hunt them down. After slaying the Red Wizard and dismantling scheme, treasure, and priceless artifact under their name, they then turned to the Outer Path, seeking escape from their Pitfiend contractor. In return for his help they brought the Pitfiend under the service of Xion and even bound their form to his, making Xion, technically, his own contractor.   While he cannot give himself new contracts and increase his power, he has gained the absolute best conditions his current contract can give him. All the powers that were held off and waiting under specific clauses and conditions are now his to call upon at will. He is now one of the three pillars that support the Cult of the Outer Path's dream of Ascension to a state beyond Godhood. Particularly specializing in the assassinations of any wizards who'd dare try to subvert their plans, as well as the theft of highly guarded and dangerous grimoires in places of magical knowldge.
