Medaeos, the Murderer of Kin, Defining Soul of the Salter of the Earth

Prodisia found once, long ago, that it was not in the nature of the Yozi to accept rebellion, even one designed for their own benefit such as hers. And so she designed Medaeos to be the soul at her heart, one who would hear most keenly her struggle, one who would be utterly without conscience in fulfilling her ambitions. Some would say that she has proven too effective; for Medaeos is not merely without conscience and remorse, but rather enjoys his work. Medaeos is the desire to betray, and the urge to kill. His one dream is to cut away the Soapstone Heart; not, as his mother wishes, to improve their Yozi patron, but rather simply because Prodisia worked into his nature that he is unable to harm her directly.

Medaeos appears as a tall, lithe grinning man with kind eyes, usually a northerner with pale skin and hair. He speaks soothingly and is often praised for his eloquence and sincerity. He always has one hand behind his back holding a knife, although few notice. He shuns battle and war, and speaks eloquently against them; and he would never strike from stealth unless forced to. He much prefers to make victims feel the personal betrayal of his actions. He will do battle to protect those that love him, but only so that he may harm them more later.

Charms:
Bane weapon: Against souls of Zuratha and their descendants, or any target with a positive intimacy towards him, Medaeos may spend 3 motes per attack to do aggravated damage. If both of those conditions are met, Bane Weapon is without cost.

Honeyed Words of the Vile Tongue: Medaeos may spend 6 motes to appear perfectly sincere. Double his successes on any manipulation based roll. Against souls of Zuratha and their descendents, the social attack becomes unnatural mental influence that takes 3 willpower to resist.

Lover's Guise: 12m, 2wp, simple (three long ticks), story length. Medaeos worms his way into the hearts of his victims, so that they cannot help but love him - all the better to get into knife range. Medaeos makes an undodgeable social attack; his targets gain an intimacy of love or trust towards him, which costs one willpower per scene to resist. The intimacy may not be damaged until they have spent his essence, 7, in willpower against it; the charm automatically ends once Medaeos attacks them for the first time. Medaeos may only use this charm against targets he is planning to kill.
