You have made a pact with, or have been created by an entity who holds great interest in arcane knowledge. This entity could be, for example, the archdevil Mephistopheles, an Arcanist from the lost empire of Netheril such as Ioulaum the Eternal or Karsus the Momentary God, a contemporary archwizard such as Vajra Safahr, Alustriel Silverhand, Elminster or Mordenkainen, a master artificer such as Niv-Mizzet or Kwalish, a lich such as Szass Tam or Vecna, an Arcanoloth, or the soul of a mysterious individual contained within a Ring of Mind Shielding.

You could be treated as an apprentice, a familiar, or a mere tool. Most in your situation are asked to collect lost lore or forbidden knowledge for their patron, but others take a more active role and work to further their master's agenda.
