Well, I'm requiring that Maldar fulfills all the quests, so he has to kill even the optional quest bosses like the Countess, Radament, and the Summoner. I'll come up with some excuse. :-)
The Countess, Radament, and the Summoner are a bunch of low level aparatchiks who stand to gain materially with any and every success of the Three Prime Evils. These are not innocent demons, not hardly, indeed, they are:
Summoner:
A Human Sorcerer of Diablo I stripe who is trying to get rich on the War with the Light: on the backs of the demons who he summons to the fight. He is part of the problem, eh?
Countess:
Modelled from an old Romanian tale, as I recall, this human woman imprisoned and killed children, but it appears that the folk tales try to blame the Demons. Given the motivation for your hero, she is just as big a problem as any other.
Radament:
A kidnapper of Atma's son, he runs a band of thugs. Knock off the Kingpin, and the criminals start to melt away, they will no longer be goaded into their anti human activity and shedding their ichor in the process.
Nilithak: Not a demon, a human and a Necro (the churl !!) who is making a play for power on the backs of demons.
Schenk: Here we are again with yet another mid level bureaucrat whose dreams of riches and glory are on, you see this one coming, on the backs of the innocent demons who he "leads."
I think the excuse will hold together rather well. :)
