Archer and thief for evil party?

Hi guys,

Ok I've arrived at a point where I'd like to restart the game, since I'm not really feeling it with my current party and a lot of bugs have been preventing me from finishing certain quests. I'm going to start a rather malicious playthrough by later today or tomorrow.

My previous Charname was a beast archer - loved it, but alas, I'll see what I can come up with this time.

I still would like to have a decent archer in my party though. Problem is, which companion to take? I guess Kivan will leave the party once he sees my true colours. Also, since I'll not be taking Imoen, which thief will do? Montaron? Still have to discover a lot of Companions.

And while were at it: Can I pick up Viconia straight at the beginning of the game, or will have to finish the Nashkel mines first?

Tell me your evil party combinations :)

Thanks!
