[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptCorporateExecutive A wicked and corrupt CEO of a pharmaceutical company who sought to obtain a monopoly on supernatural healing
by assassinating clerics and paladins, especially the owner of the
Healer's Necklace, which he sought to have for himself; his murderous behavior eventually earned him an asploded head, but his greed, hatred, and sheer determination to take what he desired by any means necessary caused a piece of him to cling to the world of the living even as his soul was shipped directly to Hell.
