The Obscure

That which is lost often does not wish to be found. That which was found may wish to be lost. Your patron is simply known as the Obscure, an entity that deals in secrets and mystery. Lies and truth. Discovery and Loss. They find what was lost, and hide what was discovered. Their motives are unclear at best, speaking in half-truths and cryptic tongues. They trade secrets and information, and will indulge that which they may know. For a price.

Your patron knows of you, and knows that which you desire; the pact does not lie. A solid truth in a world of untruths. A fact in a realm of falsehoods.

An Obscure patron can be almost anything. All it takes is an inclination to weave words and avoid directness with its warlocks. Examples include gods of delirium and madness, devils and demons banished to Hades yearning for the power they once had, powerful fey, forgotten gods, and many more.
