PrCs R Us
Ok, as requested, a quick summary of all PrCs.
Cancer Mage - despite the name, it's more a rogue-oriented class. 10 levels. You get some sneak attack, a cancerous tumor that acts as your familiar, some different types of armor, you can carry diseases and cause them, you can create intelligent diseases and take disease form yourself. Utterly disgusting.
Demonologist - Conjurations specialists (demons, of course). 10 levels. You can charm demons, hold demons, and dominate demons, get a quasit familiar, summoning mastery, demonic resistances, telepathy, and poison immunity. However you have a paladin-like spells per day and a limited spell list.
Diabolist - Mostly wizards wanting to be really powerful and have chosen hell's path to do so. You get +1 caster level each of the 10 levels. You can add extra power (evil power) to you spells, you get an imp familiar, and can eventually add vile damage to your spells.
Disciple of Asmodeus - You want ulimate power. 10 level class. You get 6 spellcasting levels. You gain abilities like charm and command. You can learn secrets (bonuses to Gather Info checks), summon devils, and get some favor from Asmodeus himself.
More later, must go to work!

Don't have Demonology, but I'll tell what I know. Any fiend of a certain hit dice and Charisma can attempt a possession. The person possessed might not even know they're possessed. The fiend can mentally "hide" from their host. The demon can alternately help the person by providing a stat bonus, attempt to control them, or harm them by providing a stat penalty.
Also fiends can possess objects. The effects can range from the item animating to the item becoming a corrupt, foul thing that radiates harmful evil magic.
Sacrifice goes this way. The person makes a sacrifice, then rolls a Knowledge (religion) check. The check they get determines what kind of reward they get. A high check could result in a limited wish for the celebrant (sacrificer). A lower one might just be an aid spell. You can alter the check in your favor depending on how vile the ritual is. If the ceremony is long, or on a alter, or in a descrated area, or performed in front of an audience... these all provide bonuses.

Nothing like that I'm afraid, but a few of the PrCs might help make a particularly evil what-have-you. Take a look at the feats, spells, or magic items. Something might leap out at you as something that could assist in making a particularly evil, off-the-beaten-path villain.

Alas, I haven't received my copy of the book yet; I hope that WotC fires the person responsible.

Shouldn't you be wanting them to ritually disembowel them in a sacrifice to Demon Lord of the Week?
My only issue is with the monster names. Are they running out of inspiration? Now we have Kytons and Kythons and I'm supposed to keep them separate? How about Jariliths and Mariliths? Is the Fiend Folio going to have Kariliths, Lariliths, Nariliths and Oariliths?
