Maybe you parents saw more darkness in you than other tiefligs, and secluded you, so you would not follow the path of evil. Or were they escaping from a dark path from the Shadow caves, cleansing their soul.

Associated Skills: History, Nature

Or just maybe, you accepted that Darkness into your soul, and have become a dread embodiment of evil, waiting to murder all in your path.-No paladin or cleric option here (unless Blackwatch)-

Associated skills: Dungeoneering,Arcana

Or perhaps you grew up alone on the streets, and make a few pacts with the wrong devil.
