A persecutor is an tormentor that has achieved great evils in the name of their deity, without wavering and for considerable time. Only their deity can elevate an tormentor to a persecutor, the transformation is often visceral but outward appearance can often take on more aspects of their deity's persona. Persecutors are often the individuals behind evil schemes and malicious groups, many adventurers seek out these persecutors to destroy them, most never return.
Persecutors are granted further divine power and train further to improve their combat skills, with these new abilities they will either be instructed to seek out opposing factions and destroy them, seeking out enemy generals and leaders. The persecutors that succeed often take over these areas and rule them with an iron and bloody fist.
