Cambion is a loose term with a variety of meanings. One common definition is a half-mortal, half-fiend; however, other usages of the term exist.
Because they can freely travel between the Lower Planes and Marillia, they are highly prized by archfiends.
Most cambions are the result of the union between men and succubi, for obvious reasons.
