Devils

There are times when a mortal dies and they don't get to go to Heaven. Sometimes, as a sinner they are recruited to join the other side. A Devil is one such being.

Life & Death
As described in the Fallen Sourcebook: The Devils of Hell, a mortal who lives a life of sin dies and discovers the Axis Mundi, a light bridge which is supposed to take them to the next life where they await judgement. Instead, a Fallen may use a portion of their limited resources to manipulate the bridge to bring the soul to them in Tartarus. Upon making a pact with the soul, the Fallen transforms the soul into a more tangible being giving it a physical form (not quite mortal, not quite supernatural) and placing it back on earth to become a warrior in the war against Heaven.

Reanimation & Second Life
The Devil must fight their demonic nature or give in to it while on earth. All Devils have both Humanity and Daiesthai (inner demon). Depending on your Patron, a Devil's motivation wilk differ. Upon reanimating, all Devils are partnered with a Djinn who mentors them in their powers and provides information to the newly reanimated soul.
