My little kobold multi-class disaster (currently draconic sorcerer 5, bard 2, fiend warlock 4) has Yeenoghu, the demon god of destruction and gnolls, as his patron.
I don't think Yeenoghu was looking for warlocks. My kobold was just a sorcerer and maybe 1 level in bard in a Westmarches style campaign. Early on we kept running into various Baphomet cultists, then during a random encounter got caught between two gnoll factions; one still loyal to Yeenoghu and traitors who switched to Baphomet.
High charisma and one single gnoll caster who could speak common and we were able to negotiate a truce with the Yeenoghu group and a reward if we recovered some gems that were stolen by the Baphomet group.
Got tired of constantly running into Baphomet followers everywhere, so my little guy went to his gnoll allies and was like "Hey, we hate Baphomet and your guy hates Baphomet, would he help us if we help fight Baphomet's followers?"
He doesn't fully realize the extent of a warlock pact (8 INT and 12 WIS) . He thinks we're just allies and Yeenoghu is giving the power with nothing in exchange except killing Baphomet cultists. Even though we haven't encountered any recently. Even after he developed this unquenchable hunger for flesh and blood. Even after his alignment got knocked from chaotic neutral to chaotic evil when he started gathering parts and trophies from humanoids we'd killed for an altar in his tower. Even after he was given a "blessing" that was horribly painful and turned his little kobold teeth into larger, more gnoll-like fangs.
My multiclass Lizardfolk "Great Old One" Warlock 7, Paladin Oath of Vengeance 3 and Ranger Hunter 3 has the Platylord, an omniscient being resembling a platypus that hates dream eaters, as his patron.
My Lizardfolk (Jugular) began his study of the Platylord when he first saw a platypus swimming around in a river by his homeland. He uncovered the secrets of his patron through extensive study in a local town (which, surprisingly, appeared empty whenever he came by*). The Platylord decided to acknowledge his existence by granting him powers. Later on in the campaign, when Jugular saw a Platypus be killed by a rampaging Aboleth, he swore revenge and leveled up his a Ranger (favored enemy: aberrations) and Paladin levels and later on killed the aboleth.
*This was in no way involved with the time he "accidentally" bit someone's tasty, tender, delicious arm off.
My player made a deal with a group of mindflayers so now he's a part of the hivemind and is trying to further the great design. I also named the mindflayers after single letters to save myself the time.
My Most Gracious and Most Magnificent Patron is the Most Dread Noble of the Court of The Archfey, the Great Dame of Stealth and Charm, Her Most Glorious Majesty, the Lady Cheshire. She rescued my lowly being from a truly wretched existence and now I serve her with my entire being. She graciously gates me into her palace in the Feywild where she tutors me (and several other mortal outcasts) in matters arcane. Knowing what my fate might have been without Her intercession, my loyalty to Her is eternal.
Verenestra, the fey goddess of faeries, dryads, nymphs, charm, and beauty: and member of the Seelie Court. She took my guy to the Fey realm and he came back altered.

Ah yes, my character has a mild addiction to hot buttered popcorn and a desire to continually watch via My Lady's scrying globe, seven humans who are marooned on a lonely island, an island named 'Gilligan'.
A fey princess with borderline personality disorder. My DM for that game is a therapist so he understands what goes into BPD and how to bring it into the game.

So, that is why your warlock character has the whiskers of a pampered Persian cat?

I'm starting the Legends of Greyhawk campaign at Gencon this week. Raised in Ket and a follower of Zaaman Rul, however his recent problems with Immix has left him weak, so I have agreed to Pact with Morwel to support him until the Temple of Elemental Evil gets sorted out. Melee hex blade with the Fey Pact.

I knew someone who played as Leonardo Da Vinci, and had his patron be "The Arts"
As for me I have a Warlock who's the avatar of death, and thus draws his power from himself.
I'm taking a break to focus on IRL stuff. Please don't think bad of me. I'm terribly sorry for any inconveniences this hiatus of mine brings about.
Flying Spaghetti Monster.
That creature reminds me of either an advanced Grell or an Elder Brain mind flayer.
