half-demon
Partially infernal being
A half-demon is a being with one demonic parent and one human (or other non-demonic) parent, common in fantasy fiction, mythology, and video games.
The term implies divided nature—supernatural power paired with human vulnerability or moral conflict: As a half-demon, she struggled to control her darker impulses.
Sometimes used figuratively for someone with a fierce or volatile temperament.
