Askavan is a Succubus NPC character created by Logan Bonner who appeared in the Infernal Wrath adventure published in Dungeon magazine issue 205. Her role in this adventure was a central one, being summoned by the central character of the adventure Vellus, to provide aid in his quest.

In order to exact revenge against a group who murdered his brother, Vellus used a family heirloom to summon Askavan to aid in his quest. Once a pact was signed, Askavan provided Vellus with the identities of his brother’s killers and granted him magical powers. Through the pact Vellus gained infernal powers of invisibility and teleportation, among other abilities which could only be used at night while during the day Vellus was held in the Askavan’s extraplanar lair.
