Sahi, the Satyr Warlock (Archfey Patron)
Sahi's whole life was a performance. Xe put on elaborate makeup every day, xe made an absolute fool of xemself to crowds of people, xe essentially became a circus clown- all this to dedicate the pact xe made with xyr patron, an archfey named Nirsith.
See, Nirsith absolutely adored the humanoid culture that resulted in clowns. He found them so colorful, so similar to how the fey looked that he contacted Sahi, his descendant, in xyr dreams.
Xe was told that he'd help xem develop xyr powers so that xe could defeat the Evil Forces That Be... but only if xe dressed like a clown.
Since then, the earthy tones Sahi actually liked were replaced by force with the brightest colors xe could find on the market. Xyr usually relaxed and laid-back attitude was replaced with Nirsith's love for chaos and whimsy. Everything about xem became an unwilling clone of the fey.
Gods, how xe hated what xe had become. The only thing that kept xem holding onto life was the fact that Nirsith would let xem return to xyr old self when nobody was looking. But even then, it was a very thin thread.
Now, with the Forces That Be almost gone, xe hoped xe could finally stop being so clown-like. And sure, xe could, but xyr ancestor and patron had a lot more up his sleeve for xem... certain things that would make xem wish that xe could stay a clown.
