succubus are female. if you're saying "he", that's an incubus

Eh. Depends on the setting. They are usually shapechangers anyways which makes most labels iffy anyways.

According to the forgotten realms wiki:

In fact, with their shapechanging powers, incubi and succubi could both change their sex with ease, though most had a preference for one or the other.

I would therefore say that (at least in the forgotten realms) if this instance of fiend prefers he/him pronouns but is presenting femme or they consider themself a succubus and prefer being feminine but are currently presenting masculine the combination of pronouns he/him and label succubus seem perfectly normal.

Yeah but what really happened was OP fucked up and we're politely covering for them.

AFAIK in actual mythology they are also considered sexless spirits that can incarnate as either male or female depending on the situation/target. There's even tales about such spirits seducing both sexes after each other in order to cause impregnation, since they cannot actually procreate themselves.

While that is traditionally correct, I prefer to think of succubus, incubus, and concubus as relating to whether they top. My demons are very progressive.

It started out as a succubus, but it defeated the rest of your party and turned into an incubus.
