Random Oathbreaker based off MM Death Knight, for campaigns of lower level. He has some abilities of the original DMG Oathbreaker, making him suited as the general of a zombie or fiend army. Also has a necrotic version of Divine Smite, as well as the "Aura of Protection"...except it affects only himself, firstly because it's otherwise overpowered, and secondly because it fits his "selfish" theme.
BTW the "Madness Smite" thing is there because, in my head, he's going insane after becoming bloodied.

Aura of Hate. Any fiends and undead within 30 feet of the Oathbreaker gains a +4 bonus to melee weapon damage rolls. A creature can benefit from this feature from only one Oathbreaker at a time.
Diabolic Smite. When the Oathbreaker hits a creature with a melee weapon attack, he can expend one paladin spell slot to deal necrotic damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a Celestial or a Good Humanoid.
Madness. When the Oathbreaker’s HP cuts 75 due to damage, or when the Oathbreaker with under 75 HP takes damage, the Oathbreaker immediately makes a Longsword attack against the creature who inflicted the damage, without using his reaction. The Oathbreaker can attack each creature only up to once per round with this ability. Once the Oathbreaker uses this ability even for once, he takes a (non-cumulative) -3 penalty to his AC, until he takes a long rest.
Spellcasting. The Oathbreaker is a 18th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). The Oathbreaker has the following spells prepared:
1st level (4 slots): command, searing smite, hellish rebuke
2nd level (3 slots): crown of madness, hold person
3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, bestow curse
4th level (3 slots): banishment, staggering smite
5th level (1 slot): destructive wave
Actions
Multiattack. The Oathbreaker makes two longsword attacks.
Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft. , one target.
Hit: 9 (1d10+4) slashing damage plus 13 (3d8) necrotic damage.
