Devils are definitely lawful evil. They like the loopholes in the rules, so they can exploit those rules to suit themselves. So they need to keep things working pretty much the same way in order for those lovely loopholes to be so useful to them. They quite like the status quo. Devils are bothered when things just randomly change or break without their prior knowledge and control. They adore making high stakes deals and organising a hierarchy of followers and their follower’s followers. Devils will generally keep their word - otherwise they will bend the truth as far as lawfully possible. Devils desire to become rich and powerful. They want to make lots of friends and punish enemies. If they happen to break things, kill people, and generally mess things up bad for others, that is just an unintentional bonus - which might have annoying consequences for them.

Devils do not need to eat or drink. To them eating and drinking are either a hobby, where fine food and drink is concerned, or a show of power and domination - such as when they are eating one of their enemies.

It is not clear if devil flesh is actually poisonous, carried disease or parasites, or if it is edible in general. Of those who claimed to have tried it, they talked of feeling powerful and revitalised - it is possible that the nature of the flesh caused a shift in their mental state.

Devils often delegate their work to others - not because they are lazy. The primary personality trait for any devil is ambition. They constantly look for ways for promotion. The goal behind their behaviours is to fulfill the devil's own desires. They try to rise up the hierarchy to modify rules in ways that best suits them.

While these fiends have some tendency to act on emotion, especially when faced with the prospect of vengeance, and with enough provocation, can be made to act in ways that are detrimental to their ultimate goal - even to death in pursuit of such vengeance.

Devils usually have magical abilities. A large number of devils have an aura of fear, which they used to split enemy groups apart. Most devils have some kind of illusion abilities, which are used to sow confusion among their foes. A common use of these powers is to create illusory support for themselves. They abuse their enemies' inability to distinguish between illusory and real summoned support. Any devil with divine magic is usually not a priest of a god, but one who received the necessary magic from one of the Archdevils.

The Devils reside within The Hells, where they originate from. There are many found the Underdark of Ru'Mal and Ru'Than. Although some do inhabit other places.

DEALS

Devils are the shady and slime-ball negotiators from The Hells. They are the ones with very detailed and hard to read fine print in contracts - especially when dealing with mortal souls they create paperwork in their favour - filled with carefully worded legalese. Although they like some mayhem, they work things always in their own favour.
The devils also have some that are more violent and quick to anger than many other creatures. They have a twisted sense of honour and will keep their word to the letter. If anyone was hold up a contract that a devil signed, then they will point to Page 2851, Clause 512.5b, Subsection 89, Paragraph 42 that says quite plainly that they are entitled to eat the other one's face if they do not follow a certain unlike to complete act to exactly.
