An extremely goofy question:
So, imagine you are running a D&D campaign, where you started by running Lost Mines of Phandelver for a bunch of newbies and are about halfway done and will have to start doing original stuff soon. And imagine that your plan for original stuff has always involved the party being employed and based out of a magical library. And then imagine you spent 2+ months being really obnoxiously into Good Omens, so instead of having the library run by, I don't know, a wizard or something, you decided to make the person running the library not-actually-but-kind-of!Aziraphale. Which, of course, meant that somewhere in the magical library is not-actually-but-kind-of!Crowley, obviously.
(Which actually works out really nicely because you had tentatively planned for the Big Bad of the campaign to be a Star Spawn cult and now you have exciting mythology about the gods leaving the Prime Material Plane centuries ago Because of Reasons and now there are Outsider interlopers that the gods aren't terribly inclined to do anything about but some of their minor functionaries - who quite like the Prime Material plane - are and thus are recruiting adventurers.)
Anyway. So, not!Aziraphale and not!Crowley are actually a fairly powerful angel/demon but present themselves as fairly ordinary mortal folks. (Probably not very well.) Which means, imagine, that you have to figure out how they present themselves as mortal folks. Not!Aziraphale is pretty easy - probably human, definitely a Knowledge domain Cleric. Not!Crowley is clearly a yuan-ti but, given this very silly setup...
You guys, what the hell class is not!Crowley? Fiend-pact Warlock is much too on the nose, right?
