Ghost Rider

A Ghost Rider is a being who has suffered greatly in life and whose soul found it impossible to rest, even in the afterlife. Seeking a way to escape from the fiery pits of hell and destroy the evil that haunts your soul you managed to gain the favor of a demonic entity from 1 of the 9 Hells to grant you your freedom, and restored life. This unholy accord has granted you great power but also will eventually come at the cost of your own soul. Having returned from death Ghost Riders seek to protect the innocent at any cost from the horrors you suffered and most likely wrought as well, as no innocent soul would find themselves in hell after all. They ruthlessly pursue those who have harmed them to deliver vengeance and perhaps find their own redemption as well. The demonic link you share with this entity finds some delight in the carnage you bring as you diligently drag the souls of evil mortals into the same pits of hell you escaped. This carnage is never enough to fully satisfy it as it whispers quietly to you in attempts to find further amusements. The more souls you deliver unto that hellish prison you once fought so hard to escape, the more power your Patron is willing to share.

You may choose a demonic entity as your Patron from the following list:

 Zariel, Dispater, Belial, Fierna, The Serpent of Minauros, Levistus, Malagard the Hag Countess, Moloch, Glasya, Baalzebul, Mephistopheles, Asmodeus.
