So I have created a Naga (modified Triton) Fathomless Warlock. I figured out the warlock's motivation would be to buy a ship, but I can't think of anything for his patron. His patron is a Mosasaur-like embodiment of hunger, so what motives do you think it would have for giving him powers? I thought of making it so everyone the warlock kills fills the patron's belly, but that's about it.
Your warlock’s patron wants you to sink ships to feed the ocean! If you’re a good aligned warlock you can twist his desires by only sinking pirate ships, slavers, and similar evil ships.
spoiler free - but if his patron is a 'Mosasaur-like embodiment of hunger', his patron is going to be in direct competition with any number of other nasty sea-dieties, which puts your warlock in a great position to undermine the efforts of any number of sea-going races. Even the good ones...
I'm just starting this game so I picked one that sounded interesting, my warlock was burned at the stake by a cult and had to form a contract with the fiend in order to save himself.

I am good-aligned, so I feel like this could work. I'm playing in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, but I hear there aren't too many boat fights.
I’m not going to give you any spoilers since I DM’s Ghosts, but I will say that the DM can work with that conflict and can have a great time with it.

You also don't have to be in an ongoing relationship with your Patron. You could have done something for them once in the past and that's it.
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua carezza!
I sing to life and to its tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!
Thanks for all of the ideas. I'll talk to my DM about them.
