Pact of the Symbiote

The Symbiotic Patrons are beings of an unknown origin.  Some think they might be the larval state of a gods experiencing reality before taking their place in the divine realm, while others think they are the remnants of dead gods unable to support worshipers anymore. Which ever the case may be they are rare.

Due to the symbiotic relationship between the host and patron, the warlock experiences a closeness felt by few of their ilk.  As the host lives with his Symbiotic Patron he starts to refer to himself as we and us instead of I and me.  Some even talk directly to their Patron in the open, drawing funny looks from many.  Due to the aberrant nature of the Symbiotic Patron they are looked at with some suspicion.
