Devil

Devils were a lawful evil race of fiends who hailed from the Nine Hells of Baator.

Personality
Devils were bullies. They were vicious creatures who were capable of attacking and killing people for essentially no reason.

Combat
Devils often had magical abilities. A large number of devils had an aura of fear, which they used to split enemy groups apart. Most devils had some kind of illusion abilities, which were used to sow confusion among their enemies. A common use of these illusory powers was to create illusory support for themselves. They abused their enemies' inability to distinguish between illusory and real summoned support.

Society
The vast majority of devils were baatezu. They lived in strict caste society. Devils continuously tried to improve their station in life. The measure by which promotion was granted was the number of mortals swayed to corruption.

Economy
The devils' economy primarily worked on souls. In order to change a soul's destination from the Fugue Plane to Baator, they corrupted mortals while they were still alive. Once they died, they were collected and tortured. This torture was done to wring out magical energy from the soul and once every single drop was wrung out, the soul was reborn as a lemure, a new member of infernal society.
