For the record, not all pact have to be sinister in nature, though they should still come at a cost, even if only a personal one.
I have a human Hexblade that uses the Fey pact of the White Well. He is an ambassador from his human kingdom to the neighbouring Elven kingdom. His powers were granted to him when he married into a noble elven house by his own wife. His implement is his wedding ring (still mechanically a rod, taking up a hand, etc). I'm still working out the details with my DM, but my character has been away for a long time and had amnesia, so I'm thinking about having his wife actually be dead, and granting the powers From Beyond. That would help explain and flavour the Mourning Handmaiden thing.
I've got another character, a half-elf Bard (MC Paladin), and his big plan is to eventually multiclass into Warlock and take the multiclass Hexblade feat (we still use it even though it never made it out of playtesting) as part of his paragon story arc. His pact is going to be Star Pact; his mother is the elf half of his heritage, and he never knew her. She was a Starlock that went insane, but what actually became of her is unknown to my character; he just thinks she died. He and his father are not close, so this will probably end up being one of those "Obi-wan, why didn't you tell me?!?!" moments. Heh. He carries her star pact blade, not knowing what it is or what ite represents. Eventually he will find out, for better or worse.
