Tiefling

Simultaneously more and less than mortal, tieflings are the offspring of humans and fiends. With otherworldly blood and traits to match, tieflings are often shunned and despised out of reactionary fear. Most tieflings never know their fiendish sire, as the coupling that produced their curse occurred generations earlier. The taint is long-lasting and persistent, often manifesting at birth or sometimes later in life, as a powerful, though often unwanted, boon. Despite their fiendish appearance and netherworld origins, tieflings have a human's capacity of choosing their fate, and while many embrace their dark heritage and side with fiendish powers, others reject their darker predilections. Though the power of their blood calls nearly every tiefling to fury, destruction, and wrath, even the spawn of a succubus can become a saint and the grandchild of a pit fiend an unsuspecting hero.

Victims of Prejudice
In England, Tieflings are an alarming sight. In a land that is more or less Christianized, the appearance of a Tiefling brings out the superstitiousness in all Christians, who often ward of the being with the signs of the cross. Teiflings may find that people won't do business with them, or even talk to them in confidence. Most tieflings believe this is unfair treatment, then they look into a reflecting surface. Although the adage that you can't judge a book by it's cover is mostly true, tieflings who have honor and show it have to prove the adage is true, one Englishman at a time, if they have to.
