"Demons are molded like clay by the powers they play with... in this way a demon can be molded to fit any role that they are deemed ready for, in body and mind. Their lords of course ussually decide when to give a demon new powers, or to take them away. The removal of power is the removal of identity for a demon, many consider it a fate worse than death, and for good reason. Imagine if your king had not only the power to clap you in irons or have you beheaded, but also the ability to take away everything that makes you who you are, you would do anything to avoid such a fate, absolutely anything."-On the Demon: a memoire.
Secretly, and with great pains you have enchantments laid upon your mind to protect a small portion of your memories from being stolen. Enough that you might be able to preserve some of your skills in negotiations and both the mundane and magical details necessary in the creation of demonic contracts. So too will you retain your skills in the mundanities of book-keeping and the niceties of mortal culture. You also have it arranged to maintain the memories most essential to seeking any kind of revenge, those regarding the appearance, name and abilities of the Lord of yours who so revoked his protection and moved to have you destroyed. Your servant and your possessions you arrange to be smuggled to you after you touch down in the mortal world, and you form expensive demonic contracts with the criminal elements of Hell to have some aspects of your form and power returned to you after they are forcibly stripped from your body.
You've done all you can, and it feels precious little. When at last it comes time for your punishment you find yourself quaking in fear and rage. Nearly everything you've ever been is to be taken from you, and you won't even be granted the dignity of the opportunity to regain yourself. No, rather you are being cast out and treated as mere mortal, no longer relevant to the politics and conflicts of the infernal pits. No, you are to be broken and forgotten.
Then
HE, the subject of your hate and rage comes to carry out the sentence. First he takes your wings and tears them asunder, then he rends your body of the hell-stuff that gives you strength, tearing you open entirely as it is sucked out of your body, leaving you a pile of gore and bone, though still living. You are left there for a time, and slowly, surely your body reforms, though now you are little but a naked and torn Husk, nothing separating you from the weak and tortured souls who enter hell but your memories. Sure as can be however,
HE returns, having left you to wallow in agony and realization before he takes your mind as well as your body. You stare up at the demonic lord as he tears your mind and being for one final time, your bleary eyes filled with hate towards this beautiful, magnificent, repugnant creature,
Vashkar, Lord of the Bleeding Keep. When he is done with you you are nearly destroyed, with only those parts of your mind that you hid from his foul grasp intact. You are tossed, without ceremony, into the void, to scrabble for a foothold in whatever part of the mortal world you find.
There are many such places, and while your desperate clawing into this festering pustule of existence is clumsy, it is still possible that you might influence the sort of place you might end up through force of will.

Tutor of Witches was well liked, but due to it's cost i dropped it in favor of the variety of other options that were about as popular. Trader of Favors, Eyes and Horns were pretty much locked in. I also decided to overspend to streamline the end result a bit.
