Like a servant of the one who made the pact disguises himself as a traveling merchant while you're wife is sick and ill and sells you some medicine only find out what he really is and that he now owns you're soul, or a fey creature saves your life and in there bizaare orange and blue morality where lives and property are one and the same declares that your his servant, maybe even you being kidnapped by a cult and experimented on.
