Making a warlock for a future campaign and having trouble deciding on a patron. Completely undecided on how I want to play this character, all I know is I don't really wanna do like celestial, and probably not GOO. As far as backstory goes, the character, yet to be named, was a court jester for a royal branch family head, constantly abused by the head, and also other nobles that were at small private events the head hosted. At one of these, one of these nobles got a great idea for his own and the others' entertainment, and the usually hand or fist got harder, they beat him down till he couldn't move and he was buried alive. A few days after passing from suffocation, a deal was struck, and he was returned to life and dug up. The terms of the deal are yet to be determines, but the goal of this jester is to find and slaughter every one of his past abusers.
Maybe you struck a dead with the Arch-Devil or Demon-Lord that allows you to have a second chance at life in order to enact your revenge, with the caveat that the souls of any that you slay with your pact weapon (taking the Pact of the Blade as your 3rd level feature) is damned to the realm of the fiend you made the pact with.
You could also form a pact with a being of undeath that shares your murderous intent and wishes to aid you in exchange for achieving so dark and vile machination of the undead being.

I'd suggest Entertainer for background, Undying or Undead patron for warlock and go for Kiaransalee (Drow Goddess of Undeath and Vengeance) as said patron, see if you could take Drow for race or maybe Reborn BUT this would likely mean you'd have to be evil. An alternative could be go Archfey and take Hyrsam the Prince of Fools and go down a more subtle approach of of vengeance maybe even going for Bard instead of/or multiclassing with Warlock.

Huh, now that I've written it out, I'm thinking undying patron.
The Undead or Fiend Patron would be appropriate.
