You used to serve evil. Perhaps you were the minion of an orcish war boss or a hobgoblin general, or perhaps you served one of the Lords of Sin themselves. Whatever the nature of the being you served, you worked for the dark conquerors and you are acquainted with evil. But have you renounced your dark overlords and now seek their downfall? Or do you still harbor darkness in your own heart?

Having spent a good amount of time among foul and evil creatures, you learned what it takes to be accepted by them. You likely learned this the hard way. Such creatures tend to accept you as one of their own, or at least they don't usually seek to kill you right away. When you first meet a humanoid of evil alignment and interact with it, its starting attitude toward you is usually one category more favorable than it otherwise would have been. For example, instead of being hostile toward you, it may be indifferent. Its attitude toward any companions you have is unchanged, though. Worse, if you show any weakness in front of such a creature, its attitude toward you becomes one category less favorable than it otherwise would have been.
Suggested Characteristics
Regardless of what is in their hearts, Former Minions of Evil tend to be intimidating, brooding figures. They often look at others from under lowered brows, rarely smile, and usually have prominent scars. They frequently tend to favor dark clothing, leather, and voluminous black cloaks.
