Just a Tiefling.
I gotta say, though, I'm not a fan of the way Tieflings were shoehorned into 4th Edition. A whole species of dour devil-people is so ho-hum.
It's old news, like a lot of things about 4th that I, and many others, continue to scoff at. I liked them better when they were just members of a race, any race, that happened to have a denizen of the lower planes lurking in their family tree. This would manifest itself in a myriad of minor ways to give the individual an aura of 'wrongness.'
Plus they were originally illustrated by Tony Diterlizzi, who is awesome.

AWESOME! I love the comic book art look that the solid black linework give the art.
I totally agree with you about 4th ed. I LOVE planescape style tieflings, my char is a satyr style tiefer. Ironically, he's the nicest and most good aligned out of our entire group. He's very Bambi/good two shoes. ^_^
i just love how you could theoretically hybridize nearly any humanoid of most any alignment into a character and get something cool and totally unique! I am fascinated by the idea of a tiefling/assimar crossed bloodline. It would be really fun to play a Dr. Jeckyl character with polar opposite impulses or torn between the extreme differences of their heritage.
My point is, the variety was the coolest thing about them! not the horns, tails and hooves, although my char has all of those, he's nothing like the broody tieflings for 4th ed and I'd get pretty bored playing one by their racial traits listed in the player's handbook. Not that any of my friends use all the given info in the handbook, but still, it kills the magic too much for me to bother with it. :P
