Background

Psych Profile

Evolved Ability

Akado's power allows him to mentally dominate a single individual to become an unwilling servant. Akado can only have one dominated servant active at a time, and can utilize them in two distinct ways:

Sleeper Agent: Akado plants a domination seed in a target that he has line of sight to that is not also a telepath, who them goes about their daily lives. During this time, Akado can view through their eyes and feel with their senses as long as they are within a five mile range. Leaving this range severs the mental link and dismisses the domination seed. At any point in time, Akado can "seize control" of a dominated individual and control them as if he were directly present at their location. While under direct control, the target of Akado's domination blacks out and has no recollection of events while Akado is in charge.

Thrall: Instead of planting a long-range command seed inside of a target Akado can directly control the minds and actions of any number of non-telepathic individuals within sixty feet. If he utilizes his "thrall" ability, Akado immediately loses control of his sleeper agent and severs the domination seed. Akado can control up to 10 individuals actions via "thrall" but cannot see through their eyes or view their senses. Akado must maintain line of sight once the targets are enslaved to properly control all of them. Thralled servants have a mechanical presence and all tend to move at the same time and perform mirror-image actions of one another, they are only useful when operating in a group.

Akado's ability does not work on another telepath (even animal telepaths, or people affected by tactile telepathy like Faye's). Furthermore, Akado's domination of a target via Thrall or Sleeper Agent may be wrested from him by a significantly powerful telepath through a battle of wills.
