Fuck you say?!

Regarding tieflings, they're generally not well regarded anywhere because of their association with the lower planes, but there's nothing innately against them in Asmodean doctrine. You might still dislike or be suspicious of them either because of innate biases or because you don't know WHICH lower plane they're descended from (Asmodeus rules Hell, the Lawful Evil plane of devils, but there's also the Abyss, the Chaotic Evil plane(s) of demons and the mortal enemy of Hell), but there's nothing doctrinally heretical about them.

Basically, to get into character for a Lawful Evil Asmodean clergy member, you need to keep in mind you're effectively an evil(ler?) lawyer combined with a wannabe autocrat. Like, Cleric literally has a lawyer archetype specifically connected to Asmodeus - Asmodean Advocate. You want to come out on top and dominate others, but it should be through nominally legal methods - though trickery to get to that point is entirely fine. Think Faustian bargains, didn't read the fine print, or the serpent in the Garden of Eden for examples of what we're talking about here. Fear is certainly a tool in your toolkit, but it should be the means to the end, not the end in-and-of itself. You're basically aiming to be an unchallenged absolute dictator, and your definition of heresy is going to be things that challenge that. Freedom of the press or speech are likely filthy, filthy phrases and all the populace needs along those lines is the propaganda you're putting out. That sort of thing. You're looking for ordered societies (preferably under your control), so the lawless, bandit-infested Stolen Lands likely give you a minor heart attack and you can't wait to bring order to that chaos. Necromancy doesn't even register in terms of things you frown upon, though the way it's being used could.

What do you mean wannabe. The goal is to be a baron

Would anything special happen if you ditched the ring on the first carcass you come across?

Yup. If it's not equipped you get different dialogue.

Still get accused of being a spy, mind you, though our evil gnome friend does demand you get searched

 A temple, defiled. When it could be repurposed for Asmodeus. Blasphemy!
