Warlock
For some, the trials and tribulations to learn magic prove too much, and they must turn to other sources to gain the power they seek. Warlocks are people of devotion and drive, that will not let any obstacle hinder their progress, selling themselves to a higher being is just another step of the journey.
A man whispers to himself about the unfathomable being he has reached, his mind wanders between thoughts in less than a second. Constantly changing what is being said, almost overlapping, he quotes events and creatures he's never seen as if he was a witness
