"Justify your backstory!"
"A gnomish paladin tinker made a Helmet Of Reverse Alignment and then started summoning devils, and using his one order, made them put it on their heads."
"...fine."
And then you do the whole campaign having the devil remember being evil, remember enjoying it, but not enjoying it anymore, and the crisis of faith that brings on. Every so often he will torture to death someone, just to see if he can recapture the feeling of evil being good, but it only leaves him hollow and filled with regret.
Writing a character like this is far beyond the capability of the people who subverted and stole D&D away from actual nerds.
That's a neat backstory!
