Though any form of devil can entice other beings into signing infernal pacts, none are as sophisticated nor as prolific as the pact devils, who have been granted specific permission from the authorities of the Hells to trawl the Material Plane for unwitting signatories. These silver-tongued shapeshifters are unmatched in their way with words, and can hide damning infernal sub-clauses in a signed agreement with either flowing, easily-misinterpreted prose or disarmingly dense legal jargon.

Certain souls are worth more in the Hells than others, especially for their ability to influence doings on the Material Plane when brought under infernal influence. Pact devils prioritize these high-value targets, which often include nobles, military leaders, merchant princes, or even members of the clergy. Through their bound signatory, a pact devil and its handler can act on the Material Plane to further their other interests, which may include gathering powerful magic items or collecting intelligence on the actions of their demon rivals.

Pact devils often assume the same false identity for years or even decades at a time, usually taking the role of public-facing goods or service providers to facilitate their dealmaking. They may hide as money-lenders, merchants, or mercenaries as cover operations for their infernal business. A single pact devil may work an area as small as a village or as large as a city until potential targets are exhausted or their identities are revealed, at which point they promptly disappear themselves and assume a new identity elsewhere under the instruction of their handler so that they may continue collecting souls.
