The same applies to Durkula, I think--what god other than Hel would want him and would grant him his spells? So, it's kind of a moot point whether he's loyal or not, because he's not going to go against the person who provides his power.
    There are options. He doesn't actually need a god - he could choose to worship the Negative Energy Plane, or vampirism... or ROCKS!

    (Yes, trying to provide atheistic options for clerics in a setting where gods are provably real and clerics' magic comes directly and personally from a god is weird as hell. But there it is!)
