I am making a warlock who made a pact with a fiend, but I think I should know who the fiend is before I use her in a campaign. The short version of her backstory is that she is a water Genasi who was being assaulted by an angry mob for being a freak of nature. She would have been killed by them if she hadn't cried out for someone, anyone to help her. No god responded to her call, but The Fiend did. The Fiend granted her enough power to kill all the villagers at once, before taking most of the power back, leaving her with one 1st level spells.
I don't know much about D&D lore, I've only gotten into this recently, so I don't know much about what demons and devils exist in the Nine Hells. I was wondering if anybody had any advice about which fiend I should pick when I eventually find a DM I can play this character with, because he/she will probably want to know who The Fiend is.
This is the personality of The Fiend as I imagine it, if this sounds like any devil or demon you know of, let me know:
The Fiend is a spirit that delight in the spread of chaos across all realms. When he/she notices a genus who is willing to make any kind of pact if she could just survive this onslaught, The Fiend cannot resist the delicious irony of giving fire magic to a water girl. If it makes any difference, my warlock does not resent The Fiend, far from it actually, she embraces the pact she made with the devil and becomes an enthusiastic follower willing to fulfill any dark order she receives.

You can't drown someone with Create Water. If your lungs are containers than your bones are objects. Any Siege monster that attacks you deals double damage because it’s attacking your bones.
Well with it delighting in chaos, it will definitely be a *Demon* and not a Devil, as the two are the evil embodiments of chaos and law, respectively. MToF has a good read on different Demon Princes

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
Pazuzu, the dark angel, delights in corrupting. He is known to answer the hard-sought prayers of mortals, granting them blessings and salvation, all the while leading them further and further down the path to hell—or rather, his abyssal plane.
PS - I like your plan for your character. It seems like many players take the easy way out and ignore or reject/struggle against the dark nature of his/her patron. It is refreshing that you are so willing to be corrupted. Good for you!
Thank you for complementing my character! She's one of my characters that I've given a lot of backstory, so I'm glad that someone appreciates it. Part of me is excited to play her, but part of me also is afraid that she will ruin the campaign. If her demonic patron tells her to kill any or all of her party she will most likely do it if it means getting more power from her patron.

My character was resurrected by his patron (Baba Yaga!) and thus holds the grandmother hag in regard as well. I plan on killing a NPC in her name very soon...Just a day in the life of a warlock. Lol
I like the responses above (Especially hags, I suggested that one once as well, and it is so underused.)
But if you like Demons...something to think about; is how you approach things. Demons currently come into two basic blocks; ones who just want to destroy and corrupt, and those who like to "seduce" and corrupt. So how you want to play, might determine your patron.
Pazuzu above is a seducer of power. Graz'zt is to a point, but is more hedonistic. If you want to reach farther back in the name list of D&D you have also Malcanthet, Queen of the Succubi or even one of the Radiant Sisters that are bound to her . Or Pale Night, mother of demons of the Queen of Chaos (both obyrith, like Pazuzu, and not a Tanar.ri)
Now, if your embrace of power means you want to watch the world burn; Demogorgon, Phraxas (misery and despair), Kardum (Fire and a lot of it), Alzrius (also fire).
