-There are few archons who would accept being the patron of a Pactmaker. They would much rather a creature come to them seeking advice in order to emulate the selflessness and righteousness they exemplify, rather than callously seeking a quick means to power. A pact is often self-serving, and inconsiderate of the moral or ethical doctrines of the patron; merely a means to an end for the Pactmaker. Therefore, many angels will only accept a pact with the understanding that this should serve as a turning point for the Pactmaker's life into one of goodness and selflessness, with the archon acting as their tutor and guide. While the character may start as any alignment, the archon will hope that in time and with their guidance, the Pactmaker will gravitate towards their ideals of order, peace and justice, ending up as Lawful Good. +<WRAP center 50%>
