Thats a brilliant idea <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> so we can definitely use that. The powerful risen fiend as a follower would be nice as well, especially if they had their powers inverted towards good...Wippit, I really envisioned him as a hyper powerful shadowdancer so having him as their patron would be perfect <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Now on whether he should take a role as a missionary, I definitely think that should be part of his mandate (I think it should be built upon as you were suggesting Krish <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />). However I wanted to keep some form of the 'assassin' or shadowdancer about him, someone that is actually a threat as a personal stalker of the dark lords rather than just a thorn in their side.  One way that I think this could be done is to have him act a in a fickle way (he is chaotic <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />). Perhaps because of his pact with the forces of shadow he has a slightly fluctuating personality (his chaotic nature), though he is always a good being the darkness might sometimes grow in him and make him angry or more agressive. Rather than long running plots he could instead give himself 'missions' according to whether his darker nature is in ascendency, if it is subdued he goes on a missionary mission whilst if it is waxing he goes on a more aggressive task. He then starts to become a bit more of a tragic character and his followers could play the role of counscillors or supporters to him. Every now and again he could enter sunlight which weakens him and makes him vulnerable but also purges his soul of darkness, by this he stops himself from falling fully into darkness.What do you think? Is that to much of a cliche of the tortured anti-hero? Is something about the original character sacrificed by giving him these new traits? If so I definitely wouldn't mind something else it's just I can't think of anything else...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
