Devils: Not to be confused with Demons, devils are chaotic evil beings from the plane of fire. Unlike Demons, devils cannot be bound by magical 'contracts'. The only way to control a devil is generally through bullying or having something it wants (and that it just can't kill you for.) Devils were once under the (relative) control of Bayyal, but with the Lord of Hatred bound, they've fallen into the expected disarray. There are few notable fire devils, only Kyez-Ralin has really been seen.
