Demonologist
You have been drawn into the study of demons, fiends and other infernal planar beings; this does not mean that you are associated with any faith or deity. Whether you are priest or you have become a sage, scribe, scholar or researcher into the occult and demoinc lore and practices from a cultural or historical perspective. In some cases this is a result of assisting in exorcisms by specially appointed priests, an attempt to understand why individuals form pacts with these entities; become a slayer of these beings; or attempting to summon and control these foul, unforgiven beings.
