Chaotic evil

Chaotic evil is the alignment associated with unpredictable evil, creatures ruled by their most base, vile instincts with little self-restraint.

Characters
Chaotic evil characters are ruled by their basest, most evil urges and rarely see much need to exercise self restraint. Most often they are simply out to get whatever they want at that moment however some are more insidious devoting themselves to spread of some insidious evil. Chaotic evil can be charming and urbane, but brooks no resistance to its goals except those imposed by a stronger force. Even then, it schemes to remove the obstruction without any personal sacrifice. Typically chaotic evil people can only be kept in line by a stronger force above them, this leads to societies of chaotic evil creatures like drow and gnolls to be brutal and normally ruled by the most powerful individual. Religion is often a uniting factor with chaotic evil people, as what more powerful force can there be than a god?

Gods
Merlan is typical of chaotic evil deities in Frahon, a force of brutal and bloody destruction and war. The other major deity that is chaotic evil is Mjoll, deity of revenge and spite, who is also utterly fickle in her evil.

Outsiders
Demons are the extraplanar incarnation of chaotic evil, who derive sadistic joy from acts of cruel destruction, revelling in mortal pain and misery. Before the demons, the ancient and utterly alien Qlippoth dwelt in the Abyss long before the existence of mortal life.
