The Great Old One

Warlocks bound to eldritch beings in the Far Realms work toward inscrutable goals, gaining strange powers over entropy and the mind.

The Great Old One is one of the Subclasses of Warlock. These Warlocks are acolytes of eldritch entities that are incomprehensible to regular mortals. They are given the ability to channel magic through pacts with these ancient beings in order to control the fabric of reality itself.
