After recently looking through the Dragon Compendium Volume 1, I noticed an interesting class called the mountebank. A mountebank is a thrall of a demon prince or archdevil (or other evil deities sometimes) that doesn't have to be evil (it can't be good, mind you) and is a base class.
If you were to make a mountebank of Malcanthet or Orcus, it would be easier for you to gain their aid later in the AP (see the preview in Dungeon 138 for more info on this).
Also, when your mountebank hits 20th level and has to become an evil half-fiend NPC in control of her master, if Orcus or Malcanthet is helping the fight against Demogorgon, it would make sense that the mountebank could still continue on with the party (assuming that they don't mind adventuring with a hellspawn of evil ;) ).
maybe.. but demons do backstab, so..
So yeah, cooperate until its almost done, then do a partykill & drag the souls of the rest of the party kicking and screaming to the master ;)

Makes sense to me.
