Asura
Asuras are one of the many, many races of fiends that Pathfinder has chosen to create to further flesh out their array of evil outsiders, due to not being restricted to the Great Wheel.
Produced by the various mistakes of gods, Asuras are a bitter and misotheistic array of fiends who absolutely despise their creators and wish to avenge themselves by destroying everything that the gods have made. Which, of course, means essentially everything that exists. To this end, they are a race of contemplative warrior-monks, seeking perfection of body, mind and soul and a proper understanding of the underpinnings of creation so that they better have the skills and knowledge they need to tear reality asunder.
Geryon, one of the Archdevils of Hell, is a former Asura Rana that Asmodeus recruited in his infernal takeover.
