I am pretty sure that only masculine pronouns have been used for Laroth, strongly implying he is male.
I do like the first pic much better though. Perhaps Laroth needs a queen by his side, or a female Archangel. It seems a shame to waste that Persephone pic. Do you think she could pass for Neutral instead of Evil? It might be able to pass for Basium's sister, the Archangel of Death. (Gyra would never side with Laroth however. She is his biggest enemy, as her god pretty much ignores him. Both Laroth and Gyr have aided the Sidar, however.) It might be a bit too dark for Gyra though. Does this mod have a place for Kanna, Mistress of Pain (Ceridwen's archangel)? It would also be quite nice for a Sheaim, Sidar, or Amurite leader.
