The Shattered Star group I've started playing in has a significant lean toward evil. Characters as follows:
N (or maybe LN, I don't remember) lizardman fighter. He was a gladiator in the combat arena in Magnimar prior to adventuring.
NE (rakshasa-spawn) tiefling rogue. Likes killing things, sneaky evil assassin type. Kind of stereotypical evil sort and working with the party for I-don't-remember what reason
CN kitsune summoner. Has a terrifying hellbeast eidolon thing. Likes getting loot.
NG kitsune inquisitor. Believes he's on a divine mission from his god. Beginning to question that divine mission, seeing the group he's fallen in with.
NE (bordering on CE) tiefling (kobold-based rather than human-based) druid. Likes shiny things. Likes money. Likes killing things. Likes eating. Likes eating things he's killed. Likes power. This one's my character. As with the rest of the party, he got a note about the Pathfinder Society in Magnimar wanting help, saw an opportunity to make some money, and took on the rest of the party as minions. He's obviously the party leader, the strongest and smartest and best one in the group. Everyone else is just helping him out. And he's working with them (and occasionally listening to their advice) because it's what's going to get him the most magical trinkets and stuff in the end. Has no intentions to betray the party or any of that nonsense, because they're helping him, and if he "owns" them and they own stuff, it's basically like he's got the stuff, right?
Later on in the adventure path, I think there's something about the party needing to save Varisia and stuff (surprise surprise). My druid will probably stay on to do that because he can't exactly rule Varisia (or whatever portion of it he ends up wanting) if someone else has already wrecked it. The rest of his party can continue to serve as his underlings (they're definitely still his underlings, despite what they might tell you!) or can go pick a corner of the world he doesn't want, or can die, or do whatever they want. He's not picky.
