Can a demon form a magical and binding contract with someone that allows the demon to possess that person? We have no lore on this, but I don't suppose a demon is any less able to form such a contract than any other being is, and we know that Mahjarrat and humanity have used magic of those sorts.

Can a demon use the art of suggestion, like powerful vampyres can? That's up to you and who you're playing with. There is no lore on it, so it's just a matter of everyone playing accepting the lorebend.

Can a demon create its own avatars? This is like the first question. There is no lore for or against it, so it's just a matter of being strong enough to perform such an overwhelmingly great magical act. That said, Kalitu makes a good point - it's a godlike act; be sure you're in company that will permit it.

Can a demon be empowered by contracts? Again, no lore, but if you're asking if demons can be party to binding magical spells that take strength from one source and give it to the demon, I see no reason to say no so long as at least one party is calm enough and magically skilled enough to create such a spell from scratch (presumably a much more involved and tricky process than using a spell that someone else has already created and troubleshot). So, if there weren't a skilled mage helping him, he would have to be a very advanced demon who has progressed beyond the typical demon need to slash and burn everything in sight.
