"Mm. I harbor some resentment towards the current Prince of Hell, I do admit. Being a merchant in the slave trade means you cannot buy your way into Axis, as do so many adventuring villains whose activities are far less useful and economically important than mine own. Each slave I trade is accounted more Evil than my entire profit donated to charity would be Good."
"I would consider it reasonable to go to Hell, if Hell would only treat me the way I treat my slaves. They aren't punished if they don't misbehave, I train them in ways that make them more profitable, I feed them plainly but enough that they can put on muscle if not fat. I do my best to sort them into occupations suited to them, as is profitable, and I'd say in most cases, kind. I don't sell girls to brothels until they're of age, or underage boys either. Many succeed in purchasing back their freedom or winning it as favor from a kindly master. If they lived an eternity I imagine they would all be free in time."
"I only inflict finite discomfort on slaves who pass through my hands. I refuse to accept that endless extreme torture is reasonable justice for that. Even Good, by all accounts, agrees with this."
"I've summoned a contract devil to see if I could negotiate a more reasonable fate, but the degree of servitude they wanted to Asmodeus and Hell in exchange was frankly unacceptable to me. I am simply not that fearful of taking a Plane Shift to Abaddon at the end of my life."
"We may be able to reach some amicable arrangement, Lady Sevar. Indeed, we could almost have been made for each other, I'd hope. But I'd have a great deal more specificity of you, first, on how you'd treat my soul if it came to you in Hell."
