Profaner
The Profaners are never spoken of. Any respectable Witcher would never even admit to their existence. A Profaner’s speciality is slaying Celestials. They are marked by a thick black cape hiding an abomination. Each Profaner wears a mantle of angel wings beneath their signature cape as a symbol of their profession. They are evil beings who are hired by only the most depraved and sacrilegious individuals to slay the servants of gods. Naturally the School of the Cat has no issues with undertaking such evil paths to gain more power.

Subclass Features
Blasphemous Mantle
As part of your initiation into the vile sect of the Profaners you cut off the wings of an imprisoned angel and crafted it into a Blasphemous Mantle. The mantle marks you as an enemy of good and all things holy. You were given a black cloak made specifically to mask the presence of your mantle. If a Good Aligned creature sees your mantle they will become agitated at best and violent at most. If a Celestial sees your mantle they will do everything in their power to kill you and reclaim the wings of their brethren. However the power the mantle grants you is worth all the rage of the heavens. You can mask or unmask your mantle as a free action as long as you have your black cloak to mask its presence.
Mantle Composition
Destroy the Good
The dark power of your Blamsphemous Mantle and the taboo training you underwent has forged you into a tool for slaying Good Aligned creatures, especially Celestials. When you make an attack if you hit a Good Aligned creature you deal an additional 1D6 Necrotic damage. If you hit a Celestial you instead deal 2D6 damage.

Your dark arts and unholy baubles and symbols that you have accrued have made it impossible for you to be tracked, Scryed upon, or have your location discerned by any means.
Unfair Judgement
Having been judged by the Good in the world you have found a way to turn the tables using curses and ill intentions manifested. You can use a reaction when a creature makes a D20 test within 20 ft of you to force the creature to make the roll with disadvantage.
