This version of Bargle is designed to be one of the master villains at the culmination of the Heroic Tier; he is the right hand man of the Black Eagle Baron, a charismatic, handsome, witty, entertaining psychopath who serves the Baron so long as the Baron continues to interest him with the work he does. Sooner or later, either he'll die on the point of a PC blade or he'll likely usurp the Black Eagle's position, whenever he gets tired of being a flunky. Like his 'master', Bargle never gets within melee range if he can help it, since his dagger fighting skills...aren't exactly great. Bargle will likely use his Action Point at the start to dominate a PC, combined with his Orb of Command to ensure the saving throw to break free is difficult, then hide behind minions using his powers to break up the party and turn it on each other. WHILE HE LAUGHS.
