Homebrew Deserter Demon Species Details
Deserter Demons are demons who were strong willed enough to escape their fate from being stuck in the 9 Hells for all eternity. Escaping from the hells is no easy task and as such it is often thought that the Deserter Demons are let go because they are too weak, or not evil enough to serve the Arch-Demons needs. Deserter Demons most likely don't believe in a God and, as such you hardly see one serving as a Cleric or Paladin, but there are always exceptions.
