I've been thinking that if the Eladrin and Elves were fey that have colonized the mortal world then 4e Tieflings might be a race of fiends that did the same.

They talked about ancient treachery and pacts. I think they are rather some kind of cursed people.
I'm quite sure they will have an unique origin, rather than the various possibility we had in previous editions.

Those are not tiny. Not huge, but defiantly a significant size, almost like a set of hand holds.

Handholds like that could come in handy...

Monte's Verrik from Arcana Unearthed had a bit of that vibe, and it was pretty cool. I guess I wouldn't mind if they were a unified race.

Those look vaguely fey-like to me, KA.

And here's some more 2e tiefling images...

See how they have different features and don't have ridiculously large horns, to show what part of my point is.

Changeling: the Dreaming, core book only. And after doing illustrations for D&D (a lot of PS, and most of the Monstrous Manual in later 2e) he became an artist for some children's books like Chronicles of Spiderwick...
