TL;DR - They are the bastard son of Asmodeus and were never really accepted by anyone or any society being a half-devil or Tiefling. The only person who did really care for them he murdered in an attempt to please their father who really couldn't care less about him or his mother who hated her son for reminding her of his father. A bastard through and through who has been given the chance to prove their worth to their father by collecting souls for him from the Prime Material plane. He knows that Asmodeus is only using him to get at some souls as he isn't a real fiend and thus not trapped in the Nine Hells, but he is okay with it because he wants to make Asmodeus proud. Like his mother, Asmodeus will never care and deep down T'zar Khazzah knows it but refuses to admit it to himself. However, this task is not without peril as legitimate Devils and Fiends as well as others are out to prevent him from collecting souls. As such he was eager to locate a party, he could hide himself within and manipulate into helping him in this dark task of soul snatching whether they know it or not. He has very limited scruples and is willing to lie to obtain what he wants as well as use fear or other forms of pressure, but he also is bound to a set of rules which both invigorate and frustrate him to no end. He has a strong New Jersey accent, loves to goad people into making bad choices, has an avid love affair with fried foods and revels in offensively appropriating other religious practices into his own perverse cultism which he attempts to force upon others to accommodate. He also cusses for no reason all the time just because he knows it offends others.
Backstory: A very long time ago T'zar Khazzah was born to a woman who fell for the charms of Asmodeus who had no real love for the woman. After using her at the cost of her own soul he left her to raise the child that she birthed from his seed alone unaware of his half-human offspring until that child was an adult. After poking around several bookshops, he finally located one book which sold a tome with a legitimate spell for establishing communication with a devil of the Nine Hells. In order to cast the spell, he had to lure a victim to trade their soul away or else they would want his own. So, in a truly sinister manner he convinced his only friend to trade away their soul on his behalf and summoned the devil. This devil accepted their best friend's soul and summoned Asmodeus to speak to his orphaned son. Asmodeus was most unpleased by the insolence of what he thought should have been a miscarriage. They did not speak the proper language of the Hells, and they contacted him through a low-level fiend. Recognizing the disgust on Asmodeus's face T'zar Khazzah then pledged his own soul if Asmodeus just accepted him. He could be like a real son instead of a bastard to the great devil and Asmodeus accepted. For the first 640 years of his voluntary imprisonment in the Nine Hells T'zar Khazzah dealt with being mocked as they were given only demeaning and petty tasks to do but finally after all these years Asmodeus has agreed to give him the chance to prove himself. All T'zar Khazzah has to do is collect a soul and Asmodeus will accept him as his Patron.
Appearance: Before you is a small impish looking Tiefling with dark red skin, black hair slicked back between two deviled horns, jagged teeth and ruby red eyes. They are dressed in attire somewhere between the battlefield and courtroom wearing expertly crafted Studded Leather over some fine-looking clothing. A backpack and writing case are strapped to his back and he is wielding a lethal looking pitchfork.
Personality: I idolize Asmodeus, and constantly refer to their deeds and example. For instance, I lie about almost everything, even when there’s no good reason to, I blow up at the slightest insult and I put no trust in divine beings instead demanding that all agreements be made in writing.
Ideal: Mastery. I’m a predator, and the souls of other are my prey. (Evil)
Bond: I’m trying to pay off an old debt I owe to Asmodeus.
Flaw: I swindled and ruined a person who didn’t deserve it, an innocent person, who is now in Hell and I’m okay with that.

I read this post and your character story goes a lot deeper than just this, but I feel like the thread title alone could encompass a good majority of warlocks. Lol.

Hahaha, Warlocks are the "I really need therapy." class.
And with that I now have a level 1-20 templated character for each class in 2024 I can use for a one shot or for people just drop in to play a game without a character. For those interested here are links to the other builds.
Since my main is an Alchemist, I didn't build one for the Artificer. I cannot wait for the UA to complete but hope they change Experimental Elixir. I suppose having one nearly completely useless ability isn't terrible.
