Just as Bahamut is the protector and benefactor of the good dragons, so is Tiamat the destroyer of life and the matron of evil dragons. She never ceases in her efforts to cause mischief and destruction, and it's about all Draco Paladin can do to keep her in check. Tiamat is vile through and through, and she'd lay waste to the planes if she could.

Her realm, hidden in the hills of Avernus, is a sprawling cave complex guarded by her offspring and her lovers. Treasures lie scattered about the floor, but it ain't for the taking. Woe to the sod who thinks he can get out with even a copper piece. Chant is Tiamat guards the only known gate to Dis, the second layer of Baator, but won't let anyone through without a sacrifice.

Tiamat was once rumored to be one of the Lords of the Nine, the high-ups who watch over the nine layers of the plane. Truth is, she's good friends with some of the lords (at least insofar as evil of that magnitude can be friendly), but she's not one of them. Still, she has powerful forces at her command; the baatezu constantly offer her gifts, bribes, and servants for the loan of some of her dragons. Tiamat's not sealed any bargains yet, but she's weakening to the fiends' persuasion.
