Some sort of "outlaw" type who isn't bothered by questionable means to get to a good end.
A Lolth Sworn Drow, this one could maybe have an optional "redeemable" arc for those who like that stuff.
A shadow mastiff or hellhounds. (ok this one is a stretch I know. smile )

Agreed on the first part but curious, why no gnomes?
