Defining a Warlock: Necromancer or something else?

[SpellAndShield]

So I have been thinking about doing an interesting run with an Argonian (I use Skyre as well as Creation Overhaul) combining magic and combat; the concept of Warlock came to mind but I have been trying to define what a Warlock is? does it involve necromancy or something else? So far I have been thinking about the following possibilities:

 

Male Argonian

 

1. Smithing, Heavy Weaponry, Conjuration, Restoration, Seechcraft, Light Armour

 

2. Wayfarer, Alchemy, Restoration, Conjuration, Marksmanship, Light Armour

 

3. Warfarer, Restoration, Alchemy, Smithing, Light Weaponry, Alteration

 

I am open to suggestions; what exactly would be a good set of skills for a Warlock-like character?

What exactly is wayfarer or warfarer? Is it a new skill with dragonborn??? And there is no light weaponry skill, only one handed and two handed (unless you modded that part i guess, or it is also part of dragonborn)

It is part of the mod Skyrim Redone, if you do not have, I strongly suggest you use it, Skyrim is unplayable for me without it.

Assuming this question hasn't been answered yet, a warlock is derived from the old english term "Waerloga" which translates to "Oath-Breaker". What a Warlock actually does depends on the lore you want to follow. In World of Warcraft, Warlocks specialize in shadow and flame spells and have demonic servants such as succubi or Hell Hounds as backup. Warlock may also mean the male counterpart to a witch in that they are spell casters who either serve demons or have enslaved one for its power. Either way, it's a spell caster class that has took a flying leap off the moral event horizon and has connections to demon overlords and/or minions. In Skyrim, one could play a Warlock by specializing in fire spells, since the Hells would have an abundance of that, and maintaining a good conjuration skill. I'd expect to see Warlocks summoning atronachs or a Dremora Lord patron almost constantly during a fight.

I'm thinking of summons, fire, poisoned dagger, fear and frenzy spells.

To my mind, a Warlock in this game is just someone who's sympathetic with Necromancers. The goal is to have a thrall for one reason or another, but a Warlock would specialize in the kind destruction magic that complements the kind of conjuration magic that Necromancers like to use. A standard mage would despise a Warlock, though, the same way Necromancers despise Vampires (even though they're practically the same thing).
