Can Demons do some good?

In some religious beliefs, the Demon was once an Angel in Heaven. These Angels sided with Lucifer and refused to bend the knee to humanity. Lucifer’s belief was that the Angels were above humans. He refused to be a servant and was cast to the pits of hell along with his followers.

Being that such an entity as the celestial Angel is a being of light, even though rebellion had Lucifer and his legions cast down, does this mean they still have the ability to reclaim this light?

Demons have lived through a millennium of perversions and distortions; but they were still beings of light at one point. The light is not just any light; it is a light of Heaven. If there was ever a power that could not be extinguished, a person of this faith would have to believe that the light of Heaven was incorruptible.

Looking to other cultures, there are many versions of the same being portrayed in numerous ways.  The Kappa of Japan, for example is a Demon. Japanese culture is of interest because warrior symbols portray such creatures as Demons of protection.  The Demons existence had a specific purpose. To the Japanese the Demon is not just to corrupt and cause harm to humanity, they serve to keep the Samurai safe during battle.

To the contrary, the Hindu faith has multiple deities. One of these deities is Kali, God of Death. Kali is depicted with multiple arms bearing swords. The face is animalistic with fanged teeth and wide eyes and the eyes have an apparently serpent like distinction.  Kali does not look like a protector or creator, but a Demon.  However, Kali is worshiped as a God.

Depending which culture you look at, you may see Demons with God like power, Gods with Demon like power, or you may find them totally distinct and separate.

With consideration to all beliefs, do you think a Demon is capable of being good? In addition, if you think a Demon is capable of being good, could a Demon earn its way back to Heaven?
