Has there ever been a warlock that succeeded in fucking over their patron? Would that even be possible?
Pic related, she's almost finished doing it.

Sure, one warlock in my last game sold his soul to three different hellish entities, each high up in their own warring factions. If he ever died it'd have started a planar war for his soul, so they all conspired to keep him alive by giving him a bunch of extra powers.
I think he stole that from somewhere, because the guy wasn't that creative otherwise, but it was a fun twist so I let it happen.
How come they did not know he had already sold his soul to the others?
I think you could screw them over if you tried to manipulate personality flaws like vanity, overconfidence, greed, pedantry and so on.
Beating the Devil at chess (or a fiddle contest) is the old classic. I could see some Archfey going for a gamble or game in a similar vein and being tricked by a canny mortal who understood their blind spot. If dealing with a Lawful Evil fiend you might be able to word your Faustian pact in such a way that it has a hidden ambiguity you can exploit.
It's from Constantine.
That's straight out of Hellraiser.
I mean hellblazer, fucking translations.
Should it be possible?
Sure, get big enough, go to hell, kill your patron
That's the thing about warlock powers, unlike clerics they come no strings attached, aside from the whole soul thing anyways
Hellblazer.
So did I.
