Legend
Faith as a mortal was a born on a doomed world surrounded by death and decay. Despite being a cleric of the dead, she was ever optimistic and turned to street work. The world would not give her a pause and any of her effort would be undone by a greater evil, or perhaps twisted into reversing any good she made. Despite all of her good intention she soon found herself afflicted by a mortal curse, forcing her into exile. She was noted as a pacifist, good samaritan and troublemaker. Her journey was long and in the end she was not given any just reward, instead for charitable acts she committed along the way she was assassinated.
But the story does not end here, it said a powerful deity intervened, preventing her death as she raised in a blinding flash of light. Blinding her attackers and allowing her friends to stop them. This intervention of Fate mixed with the powerful curse that was laid on her cause her to be both living and dead, the dead Faith was not allowed to exist anymore and so she slipped in the 'plane' of vestige. She was happy for she knew another version of herself would keep the good work, and happy she did not need to suffer this world anymore.
Special summoning
Faith will only make pact with non-undead and non-evil creature, she make an exception for good-aligned undead and repentant evil creatures, she will make a pact with them IF they willingly make a bad pact with her.

Sign
The binder take on a serene ethereal look but her color become muted, becoming almost black and white. The binder also gain a blank silver holy symbol that is also a watch when opened, the holy symbol can be recalled to the binder's hands as a move action if dropped or otherwise lost and vanish once the pact is over. While displaying your sign, psychopomp creatures are one step friendlier towards you than normal (to a maximum of Friendly). This is only an 'initial attitude' - if you take any actions that harm or offend them, their attitude will adjust appropriately.
Influence
The binder act kinder and extremely optimistic, is pushed toward doing good work and a distaste for violence in general. The binder will attempt those in need but will also show great wrath toward those who cause harm and exploit others, the binder will also become slightly more hostile toward religious zealots and the undead. Finally the binder will show mercy, she will never kill a helpless creature or a creature she subdued and will always attempt to subdue intelligent (intelligence of 3 or above) creatures instead of killing them outright.
