Base Class: Warlock
Patrons; those bored powerful Fey, Arc-devils looking to gain another soul, Aberrations from the far beyond, and many more. These entities reside within other realms and planes altogether, far from the reaches of mere mortals. However, The Parasite resides not on another realm, but instead within its warlock's own body. A creature of origins unbeknown, now resides in you. If this pact was voluntary, it matters not. For its grasp over your body and mind is ever-present.
The Parasite isn't any sort of deity, (Though it might be worshiped as such.) this creature is neither good nor evil, it only wants to eat, grow and spread its kind. The warlock and the Parasite share a telepathic bond, allowing both to share thoughts with each other, sometimes having full conversations within the host's mind. It might be seeking the host's help, maybe putting aside its reproductive goals for it. It might promise them magic, and in exchange to help the Parasite to evolve along the way and spreading his offspring's upon the land.
