Much like the Aasimar, members of this race have an ancestor of otherworldly descent. In the case of Tieflings, though, theirs is the blood of the damned - those mortals who were so evil, or so closely associated with the shadow world, as to become part of the darkness themselves. As with Aasimar, any one of the major races can give birth to a Tainted, but they will all share the same basic traits. In Tiefling, the blood tells.

Note please that Tieflings will likely face a lot of social prejudice when interacting with people in the world.
