You pledged something unthinkable to an unspeakably ancient entity - which in return furnished you with powers of cerebral entropy and control.

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.
