The Benefactor

Your patron is a humanoid creature, a mere mortal not unlike yourself, who has granted you power enough to help you. They have only granted you enough power to allow you to tap into the natural abilities deep inside yourself. They trained you, they pushed you, and now you are out in the world, doing their bidding or your own.

Most benefactors are also warlocks who made similar pacts with another humanoid, and now subsist off of their own power.
