Well, the facts of the Demon Emperor's destruction (at the hands of a group of foreign adventurers and in the presence of his son and heir) could not be kept secret.
Nor could the fact that the son-and-heir offered marriage to the leader of the adventurers and was turned down.
So the story of the substitution of the demon for the Emperor is well known. It's not undisputed: it's especially disputed by the Templars who are calling it a total lie and an excuse to seize their holdings.
There are in fact no other demonic substitutions but that wouldn't stop a lot of people indulging in paranoia, demanding that extra inquisitors be appointed and sprinkling every stranger they meet with holy water.
