As for his goals and desires, no fey has ever had super defined goals and "protfolios" like some of the greater demon lords. They are strange and alien in a way even devils and demons from the Abyss cant compare too.  Look at some Celtic stuff, irish and welsh myths have a metric **** ton of fey and fairy creatures.
#5 Mechatarrasque May 12, 2015 7:59:57	I vaguely recall that 4e had some lore relating to him being mad at the Raven Queen (goddess of death, fate, and winter) and being evil because of bitterness (which makes me think someone he loved died and she wouldn't bring said person back).  He would have been a big bad, but the inscrutable laws of the fey courts restricted him in some way.  Pretty tough on any PC that fell into his clutches who wasn't protected, though.   Most of that is portable to any D&D world (just change the goddess).  Since he is motivated by bitterness, he is probably only giving the PC power to hurt somebody (or lots of somebodies).  He likely has a particular target in mind, but probably can't just say who it is.  Any DM worth his/her salt would make the target someone the PC wouldn't want to hurt but give sufficiently broad clues so that a clever player could find another target.

You need an Insiders account, of course.   Also, he's not actually upset with the Raven Queen; his mechanations against her, if any, are currently unknown. And she, strangely enough, supports his actions, since he spreads Winter and Death, which are her two chief domains. As a brief summary, for those who can't read the article: The Prince of Frost was once the Summer Prince, the son the Queen of the Summer Court (Tiandra in 4e, her name switched back to Titania in 5e, just like her lover Oran became Oberon again). He was in love and bethrothed to the brightest of the Daughters of Delight – another enclave of Eladrin connected with the Summer Court. And for a while she loved him too, but grew disillusioned with court politics. She travelled the world, fell in love with a mortal, and had many adventures with him. But the Summer Prince grew jealous and cold-hearted, and demanded she return and honour her pledge to marry him. Knowing this would tear her away from her happy life with her beloved, she and her champion went to Letherna, the realm of the Raven Queen, to petition her for help. The Raven Queen took their souls from their bodies and sent them flying into the future sometime, where they'll be reincarnated, but will have to pay her back the favour at some point after they return to this world. When the Summer Prince found this out, he was outraged, and his heart entirely shut-down. He left the Summer Court, completely struck his name from all records, and became the Pale Prince, the Prince of Frost. While not all of the Winter Court follow him, his position of power among the Winter Fey is secure. He may be cold-hearted and a solemn glum archfey, but he is motivated most powerfully by revenge against the heroes of the mortal world, for stealing away his beloved, and against the Daughters of Delight, who he kidnapped in stead of their sister, and in their sorrow for the loss of their sister, and under the influence of the Prince of Frost, wasted away into the howling, banshee-esque Sisters of Lament, the chief agents of the Pale Prince. He is biding his time, but once his princess is reincarnated, he will stop at nothing until he finds her and binds her to him.   The Prince of Frost was listed as a Lv31 Fey, remember that 4e went up to Lv30, and Balors were something like 28 in that game, rather than 19. So he's probably in the mid-20s, stronger than the Princes of Elemental Evil but weaker than Tiamat. The article described how PCs might weaken him down into defeatable levels (or rather, by granting immunity or resistance to some of his powers), through the completion of some quests that are epic in their own right: figuring out his true name, finding the locket of his bethrothed (alternatively, could be in the possession of a PC that is his bethrothed reincarnated; it should take all campaign for her to figure out how to unlock it in that case); and learning/remembering the Song of the Heart, a song she sang for him that could perhaps rekindle the fire inside his stone-cold heart. Doing all these things might make him a manageable boss fight; without these, he should probably be pretty much impossible for the party when you encounter him. Hope this helps!
