I know plenty of players willing to investigate this sort of story as it unfolds in a game. I feel sorry for you that you have not.Also, as we've been over before: it's the rules for the paladin that proscribe behavior and not the alignment rules in and of themselves.Ultimately, players pick alignments for their PCs for one or two reasons: 1) because that's how they perceive the character and their personalities, 2) because they think want to play to that alignment. In that case, they may look to the alignment to set their expectations of how they should have their character behave, but then, once the game has started, their alignment can and should shift based on how they actually play. I don't agree that chaotic characters are more disadvandaged than lawful characters at all. It's easy to spin a situation either way. Neutrals, yes, are generally pragmatic because they don't have a particularly strong philosophical focus.Nor did I say that the character you described couldn't fit CE, rather that, by your description, CE didn't seem the strongest candidate. Prefering to use demons as his tool might be one of those factors that helps push him to CE. But why use demons? Maybe his philosophical outlook tends to match them more even if his behavior is a bit less demon-emulating.</blockquote>
