Well-versed in the sinister magic of demon binding, the Warlock harnesses their forbidden art to wield these demons as tools of destruction against all who oppose them.
Most who discover this path have the means to lead a lavish lifestyle but find the pursuit of luxury and ease stale. Instead, they leverage their elevated status in Sanctuary to hunt down lost knowledge that would enable them to continue the legacy of Horazon. These purveyors of ancient secrets become Warlocks by combining inferences from partially destroyed Vizjerei texts to their own dark experiments.

History
Sanctuary is scarred by many who attempted to undertake the mantle of a Warlock only to find madness. Death would be a happy accident and escape from some demons; other demons would not let such a trifle thing as death prevent them from punishing the arrogance of a would-be Warlock. The majority who seek to become warlocks meet this end and serve the very thing they sought to enslave.
For those rare few with a will stronger than iron, the first demon they bind under their command often becomes a first steppingstone to power hitherto unreached. The dominating bond allows the primordial essence of the demon to awaken the dormant and hellish nature within the Warlock. It was by this primordial force that Sanctuary achieved its short-lived golden age.
Warlocks aspire to remake the whole of Sanctuary into a paradise forged after their own image. They believe that if they are given the opportunity they will succeed where the Vizjerei failed. Warlocks will make whatever sacrifice necessary to bring about the aims only they can achieve.
