Vile Beard is the bastard offspring of centuries of unplanned fiend/kobold reproduction. He has wandered the world with his familiar Little Cousin and his friend and body guard, Lightning Tongue, searching for his purpose in life. He was 'discovered' by the trapped demon Karventh and has now dedicated his life (and those of his followers) to freeing his new master. To that end he has made an alliance with the Darkfire Thieves Guild; he allows them to use the lair of his master, an abandoned dwarven outpost, as a storage location for their slaves, goods, and refugees from justice and in return he gets their help in gathering the necessary items to free Karventh. Of course they both plan on betraying the other at some point in the future, but until then they are cooperating nicely.
