I have a Hexblade Swords Bard multiclass planned which I affenctintly dubbed the Sexblade, They're going to be a changling escort who gained their pact by "entertaining" a mystirous patron very effectively, they wake up the next morning to find an unusual black jewel embeded on thier pelvic area that grants their hexblade abilities.
so my question is, what are possible options for a shadowfell patron? I know of Mask and Shar only but i wish to know if there is a more exact patron that suits this background?
I can't think of anything that would be "entertained" from there given the nature of that plane and its inhabitants and give powers unless its a method to gain what they want. If that's the case then it could be the dark powers since very little is known about them (one of them at least, though i think as of Van Richten's the dark powers aren't in the shadowfell anymore). Other than that i guess you may want to come up with your own.

Born under the watch of something from the furthest corners of the far realms.... It knows all.... it sees all... and it asks: "What is it that you want to see?"... and my answer is... ALL"
Another option might be a copper dragon that spent too long in the Shadowfell and became a shadow dragon; copper dragons love jokes, pranks and riddles, and are fond of bards, and it could have retained those passions even as it became a shadow dragon, while taking on a darker edge. And by edge I mean your pact weapon. 😉

I guess so,maybe i can get away with the whole idea of it being a mystery where the Pact magic came from.
