You are a consignor. A fancy term for a shipper or sender. Someone who sends things out for delivery. And you just so happen to be a deliverer of souls. You are a tool of Baator, The Nine Hells. You have been tasked with acquiring the souls of the damned and sending them to the hells for recruitment in the war. You were gifted with eloquent speech and taught how to write in pretty ways to help make things look official.
*please note this is a very rough initial background and will be tweaked for balancing issues and general wording. I welcome any opinions on balancing and any ideas for better suggested characteristics.*

Suggested Characteristics
Consignors are people who have a strange past. They might have been rescued by a devil and recruited from a young age. They could be someone who volunteered for the work finding the direct and worldly smiting of evil ineffective. They could just wish to have a place in Hell when they get there. Whatever the reason they have a job to do.
