Kio, the Leonin Warlock (Celestial Patron)
From a young age, Kio yearned for unimaginable violence. His watchful eye swept continuously over his peers, imagining a variety of things that could make the most stoic man squirm.
However, there was one thing prohibiting him from actually committing those acts; his mother.
From a young age, his mom saw the potential for danger within him, and she was able to successfully trap him into a pact that he couldn't escape from. As long as he kept from hurting anybody, she would help him hone his abilities in his dreams.
Now, as an adventurer, hurting people is very necessary. However, his mother refused to budge on the pact's wording, making him exclusively able to learn healing spells. Gods, how he hated being the healer.
Sometimes, his mother even forced him to befriend the enemy! It made him fit in perfectly into a good-aligned party, despite his protests to it.
One time, he decided to test his mother, squishing a butterfly with his powerful paws.
She came for him in his dreams that night, claws unsheathed and at the ready as she threatened to disown him if she ever saw him hurt another innocent being again.
Since then, he's never hurt another living thing (on purpose) again, and he's still forced to enjoy being a healer.
His mother can't help but smile as she sees how underneath all that evil, he's still firmly mama's boy.
