High Warlock

WARNING: May contain a lethal amount of 80's.

High Warlocks, also called Athesdans, are a class of Warlocks and Harlequins. The most senior Warlock in the masque becomes the High Warlock, who may step in to overrule directions issued by the Avatars, up to separating them from their troupes and banding them together as a unit; although this rarely happens in practice. It is not unknown for a High Warlock to take the Warlocks from the troupes and form them into a separate unit under his or her own command. The High Warlock also acts as direct support to the High Avatar, on and off the stage.

In performance, the High Warlock leads and co-ordinates the other Warlocks as they play the role of a supporting chorus to his Storyteller; in battle, the High Warlock may co-ordinate their grenade barrages, or act as a completely independent personality.

Due to the fact that they're senior Warlocks, High Warlocks are masters in both psychic attacks and physical attacks. They can use both their psychic abilities to intertwine their physical prowess, making them enchant and bewilder the foe as it is caught between the psychic surge being espoused by the High Warlock. Their mastery in psychic combat makes the High Warlock highly versatile, able to adapt and strike critical weak spots in an enemy. High Warlocks are typically dabbed in typical Harlequin uniform which has a inbuilt holo-emitter that makes the High Warlock fracture apart to the opposing eye. They are also armed with a Shuriken pistol and lightning claws.
