Good, now main villain in first chapter is Blackwill, a male illumian with Aeshkrau sigils, a 5th (or 7th depending how long I drag the plot) level hexblade. He was originally from gauntlet cabal but said cabal got destroyed by three other rivaling cabals when he was young youth. So he is orphan basically as he seeks vengeance but nor he seeks re-create new cabal either; more as become monarch or new king in local area (he is LE). Because his upbringing he sees that he must do espionage, alliances and such to gain power and thus influence. So once he has power he can crush the rivaling cabals responsible for his cabal's destruction.<br/><br/>He has made alliances with goblinoids (hobgoblins, goblins, bugbears) and also orcs which he cooperates with distantly to make raids to other settlements which are not under his care. Overall idea is that he weakens the kingdom while building his own military force. He has hobgoblins as part of his military and using his cabal's secret techniques he gives them magical items which conceal racial identity of the wearer (it's like disguise self but it more blurs the racial traits to non-descriptive). So hobgoblins may move in patrols in human territory without raising eyebrows in locals (while wearing masked helms to add further mystery to them).<br/><br/>Overall any nosey adventurers who come to try investigate him he would try lure them on offroad where goblins (not hobgoblins) lay ambush for them. If they persist he uses bugbears on next or other minions which he had made alliances with.<br/><br/>Overall deal is that guy has many hot irons going in regards alliances and he is ready make his allies fight each other so long he remains on top and eventually in seat of the kingdom and then build the kingdom as his 'cabal'. Although in this scenario none cabal members are illumian (expect him so far as he knows). So he may have various 'minions' to send or use.
