Is tiefling a half demon?

No, Tieflings are not half-demons; they are typically distant descendants of humans (or other races) with distant fiendish (demon, devil, etc.) ancestry, meaning their infernal blood is diluted over generations, making them "plane-touched," not direct offspring like a half-fiend. While they share demonic/devilish traits from their tainted bloodline, they aren't inherently evil and differ from true half-fiends, who are direct offspring of a fiend and another being.
