Warlock Coven

Lore & Background

The lifecycle of a warlock is finite. Once the contract terms are fulfilled, usually after a set period or upon completing a specific ritual, their soul belongs to Hell. This impending doom often drives them to desperate measures, such as attempting to cheat death or serving demonic agendas like Lilith's release. They lack the autonomy of witches and remain bound by the whims of their infernal employers.

Unlike the structured Men of Letters or the coven of witches led by Rowena, warlocks operate as a loose network defined by their shared origin rather than formal hierarchy. Each member independently negotiates with a demon patron to acquire supernatural abilities they could not learn naturally. Their primary goal is usually personal power, protection, or revenge, though some are manipulated into larger schemes like opening the gates of Hell. Methods involve dark rituals fueled by their demonic connection, often requiring blood or sacrifice.

They lack the natural magical resistance of witches and remain vulnerable to holy water and salt rounds depending on their patron's influence. Hunters view them as high-priority targets because they serve as pawns for demonkind. While they may gather for significant events, such as summoning a King, there is no central leader commanding all warlocks. Their existence highlights the tragic cost of power in this world: every spell cast counts down to their soul's collection by Hell.
