A demon was one who had fallen into depravity, at least true demons. Except these were demon kin, meaning they were descendants of actual demons.

This was the nature of demons. This race didn't spawn out of nowhere. It was the humans, the elves, the dragon kin, the beastmen, and whoever else that had become corrupted and depraved, turning into demons.
