At some point in your life you become a servant for a demon or fiend of some sort. You know what is like to live in someone's shadow, and have your hard work taken for granted. However, through some action of yours or by your patron, you have been set free, released to care for yourself. This scar on your past may be a good thing, however, though you may not know how.
- Skill Proficiencies: Keeping a demon as company, even unwillingly, tends to rub off on people a little. As such, you've taken a few lessons to heart.
- Tool Proficiencies: Your former master encouraged you to learn ways to deceive others, especially with tools made for such purposes.
- Languages: Your master spoke in a hellish tongue, one that you've learned out of necessity.
- Equipment: You still have a cursed item on you that marks you as a thrall.

Suggested Characteristics
Not all servants are created equal. Some are amusingly petty, while others serve for the noble pleasure of chaos. Some serve out of reluctant and fearful obligation, while others are devoted deep into the blackness of their hearts.

I miss being a thrall. Life was simpler when I didn't have control over it.
|
|

Being my former master's thrall was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I will never allow myself to be degraded like that again.

It's been a long time since I last saw the people I was close to before my master found me. I can't reconnect with them; I'm not the same person I once was.
