Hey guys, I need some help... I'm making a Draegloth with some slight alternate features. While I have a concept, I'm having problems with some of the ideas as to how it grew up (and survived), what it would worship and how it would fit into society. I want it to be a crusader (that is literally its class) for good. I'm using the rules for Draegloths in Champions of Ruin, taking some liberties with it in regards to Eberron.

First off, this Draegloth was a product of rape of a Valenar Elf (not drow) by a Glabrezu. Whether it was ritualized by a cult or a mere product of fate and unluck is not decided yet, but a child was born none the less. I liked the idea that the mother was an adventurer who had traveled to many lands, having a great number of friends in high places that could aid her with the child.
potential idea:
She selected several friends well before the birth, most of which were clerics or favored souls of the Undying Court. The mother told the horrible truth of the nature of the child to these friends, swearing them to secrecy about what she revealed. While she knew the child would be a product of evil, she did not wish to have her child deprived the chance to live. She had seen fiendish children survive in the world, although they might have a hard life, it was possible.
While most wanted nothing to do with it, two offered to help her out. The two offered to aid her in the birth of the child, one of which went as far as offering to aid her in raising the child, should she request it. She decided that these two would become Godfather and Godmother to the child, in addition to acting as her midwives.
Long story short, as the mother neared her birthing date, something began to occur. The mother noticed the child grew extremely fast as she grew very weak and was in constant pain. By the end, her life was robbed from her by the birth, forcing the 'child' to be removed via C-section. What was born was a fully developed (if small) black-furred Draegloth.
This orphaned 'Child' was left in the care of the two godparents, who revealed the truth to their order. They explained that although the 'child' was indeed half a fiend in appearance and grew at an accelerated rate, it did not seem to be evil in nature; in fact, the 'child' was remarkably kind and compassionate about the world. It did not seem to have any of the demonic parents evilness in it. They chose to raise it the best that they can.
