The Reaper

You make a pact with A figure That Keeps the Balance of life and Death. Could be the grim reaper, a powerful celestial or fiend, or simply a rather powerful and sentient instrument of death. Master of Blade and sorcery, they tap into deathly runes and Sigils to heal or harm. These Warlocks are called upon when the forces of the life cycle become unstable.

You are a Warrior of both forces, you can lean to one side or the other. When you chose your pact, think about what makes the most sense for your character. Were they on the brink of death and got saved by some otherworldly force in return for their loyalty? Was the pact made because they couldn't bare to see more people die or was it because, from seeing so many people they love die, they made the pact out of vengeance, so they may take the lives of those who have wronged them?
