Born to serve Malebolgia, Hellspawn are the foot soldiers of Hell's army.
Summary
Hellspawn are Humanoids that have been promised their heart's desire if they swear allegiance to Malebolgia, the supreme master of Hell, and serve in his army during Armageddon. Such a creature is not always evil. But only the damned are ever present in Hell, and so there exists no Good Hellspawn. A Hellspawn is often selected from among Humans, Elves or Orcs. Never from anything smaller than a Dwarf, and rarely from any creature much larger than a troll.
