Just a random meditation that struck me a few minutes ago, and I happened to be looking at the forum, so I figured I'd post it here. It might make a really interesting villain...

A warlock with Fey Pact going on looks kind of like a "demonic emissary" of the Feywild. (of course demonic emissary is for lack of a better word, but you get the idea).

IMC, angels don't have free will in the sense we think of it - they must perform tasks appointed by the deity they serve (though HOW they do so is up to them). An angel no longer in service to the gods becomes a devil, consumed by their ego. However, fey don't have free will either, being soul-less creatures (part of their attraction to mortals is our souls & free will); thus they are slaves to their own perceptions/delusions. So, IMC there's an angel who fell in love with a faerie and in the process gained free will, and terrified of her newfound free will, the angel immersed herself in her beloved's delusionary world (thus sacrifiicing her free will). Hence a fallen "fey" angel.

I think in the second incarnation the feywild can tap really ancient fears of humankind. People don't go into the woods at night because the woods are dark and tangled and old and filled with beasts who will literally eat you. These old fears are still present in our mass conciousness, jungian archetypes we can touch for our storytelling. As a foe, I think the angel has to be connected to that side of the feywild. He should basically be statted like an angel, not a fey, but the wild has claimed him somehow, like the forest taking back an old church, breaking open its walls with branches and overgrowing its stones with moss. Hmm, maybe that's somewhere to start. The angel could be somehow connected to a shrine or temple that is swallowed by the feywild, passing out of the prime material plane. Maybe the angel was set to guard something - a sacred flame, an artifact, etc., and when the forest that held his temple passed into the feywild he went with it. Eventually the feywild claimed him as it did the temple. More later - I don't want to build a wall of text no one cares to tackle. I really like Quickleaf's idea of a forbidden love, too. I can see what you're saying about fey delusions - they're so deep in their glamours that "reality" is meaningless and subjective to them.
