Cultist
Cultists swear allegiance to dark powers such as Elemental Princes, Demon Lords, Great Old Ones, or Archdevils. Most conceal their loyalties to avoid being ostracized, imprisoned, or executed for their beliefs. Unlike evil acolytes, cultists often show signs of insanity in their beliefs and practices. They use their charisma and dogma to influence and prey on those of weak will. Most are interested in personal power above all else.
