Asmodeus would like a word with you...

Asmodeus is both a greater deity (as of Descent into Avernus) and can be chosen as a fiendish patron of a warlock pact (as stated in the PHB). An exception, sure, but still possible.
Don't think this can apply to BG3...interesting change I wasn't aware of, but don't think it will be relevant here.
