First and foremost, I have been given the opportunity to play a half-fiend orc in a campaign and I need help finding an appropriate fiend template. I am a huge Warcraft fan and ever since Warcraft 3 I have always wanted to play an orc based off of Grom Hellscream.

I need help coming up with a way to create Grom Hellscream and use the demon blood in his veins as a story plot for our DM. Obviously I want Grom to be chaotic good but I believe that with the demon blood taint he can't be good. With that in mind will make him chaotic neutral with a slight leaning towards good. Any info anyone can give me as to a place I can find a fiend template, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Don't know anything about WoW as for fiend info.

Here is a list with book.

Fiend templete - MM1 page 108
Half-fiend templete - MM1 page 148
Planetouched tiefling - MM1 page 210
Fey'ri - Races of Faerun page 118
Bloodline demon or devil - UA page 21

These are the ones I know there might be more in other books that I don't own.

I've played Warcraft III. I think Grom should be a multiclass Ninja/Fighter.

As for the Demon taint, I don't think the current D&D rules would work well. In D&D, a typical demon Damage Reduction is bypassed by Good. Though Grom was able to use his demon blood to kill Cenarius (a Chaotic Good god) and Mannoroth (a Chaotic Evil demon). So you could discuss with your DM to give Outsiders some Damage Reduction/Divine; Grom Hellscream, with his tainted blood, would qualify to bypass this DR (just as Ildarion in Demon form).
