Yes, that comment from Zevlor annoys me every time.

And while they may not have many fighters among them, SOME among the refugees do seem to have combat training. Also, the fact that ALL of the refugees are tieflings feels a bit odd considering that tiefling child can be born to perfectly normal human parents as long as there is an infernal among their ancestry. Surely, such parents would not just their child away, especially as they would be under scrutiny as well.
whole debates can be started on this whole subject, I categorize each Tiefling parentage into 4 different subgroups

REAL TIEFLINGS/BIO-TIEFLINGS:

Succubi/Incubi + Human = Cambion/Alu-Fiend

Cambion/Alu-Fiend + Human = Tiefling



FAKE TIEFLINGS/PACT TIEFLINGS:

Human + Human + Pact Curse = Tiefling



TIEFLING TIEFLINGS/BOTH TIEFLING PARENTS:

Tiefling + Tiefling = Tiefling



HALF TIEFLINGS:

Tiefling + Human = Tiefling


all are Canon in 5E BTW.

The question is: Does the offspring of a Cambion or Alu-fiend and a human always result in a tiefling being born or can the tiefling actually be one or more generations later? The PHB isn't exactly clear on that point as it just mentions you have an infernal ancestor somewhere in your bloodline.
