Infernal Forger

Knowledge of the world is limited, there is only so much you can learn on the prime material realm without having to delve into the depths of insanity of repetativr knowledge. And thus, many artificers of the world seek answers from beings of the lower planes, they seek knowledge of infernal beasts: devils of Baator, the demons of the Abyss, and the yogoloths of Gehenna, and the knowledge they gain is deadly. These artificers lost something about them, no longer are they hungry for knowledge and progress, and instead they wish to feed the weapons they have leared to forge with blood and pain.

While not all of them, many Infernal Forgers are twisted by their evil masters, but those who arent broken by their fiendish patrons use their vile weapons to put down the monsters of the world, ironically using an evil gift to bring good and justice to the world. Though good, the hunger to feed their weapons with blood will always be present, their desire to bring carnage will always itch at the back of their head, but evil will only prevail in a good being for so long.
