I do not agree on the personification of evil (especially among Christians, who are whom I know). They believe there are persons who chose evil (the devil and his demons) but they are not the personification of evil. As persons, their existence is somehow “sacred” and in some sense “good”. This is Aquinas’ explanation which I deem satisfactory for the time being. One can commit oneself to evil but one cannot become “evil”. As a consequence, even the devil deserves the benefit of the doubt, as Thomas More said. A human being, so much more.
