The Warlock (Oath-Breaker)
These
are the users of Forbidden magic. They may or may not still have their
sanity. They have been trained by and
later left the Order of Wizards.
Low-level
Warlocks
are normally hunted down, perhaps reformed.
High-level ones are more problematic as they may be part of the Wizard
Council and their activities well hidden (with many loyal apprentices). The Council may even negotiate an arrangement
with renegades of the highest-level, rather than confront them.
Warlocks
are usually desperate for more magical knowledge, items, or looking for
sacrifices. They may be young and
foolish wizards adventuring to find more power.
Or, they might be recluses delving fanatically into research, paying
others to do the legwork. Or even just
plain nuts, who have snapped from what they've learned. They are dangerous if provoked or if their
whimsical desires are being actively thwarted.
They may have permanently summoned monsters and undead in their service.
A 10th
level Warlock may have Wizard apprentices up to 4th level. It’s unlikely they would teach them to be any
more powerful than that.
