## Notable Events

**Stranger Fashion Show**

Al was a major player in the Stranger Fashion Show, having organized it with Frank and Lizzy. He spent his time there mingling until the feeding started, at which time he went to join in the feeding frenzy. He found Lizzy who had already had a victim on the line, Batty Hanwell. Batty broke Lizzy's arm and set her on fire, causing Al to step in and unhinge his jaw to bite his shoulder. Batty threw him back, and the fight was stopped by Frank, and Al accompanied Frank back to his flat for the night.

## Powers

**Suggestion**

He can subtly manipulate things to further his own agenda. This ability can be used on objects (lending credibility to doctored photographs and forged documents), and people, making them more likely to be swayed by his words as long as it's in the realm of theoretical possibility. The power is less effective as time goes on and is also diminished by anything that sounds too supernatural.

**Trust Me**

Something about him makes him extremely easy to trust. Just being near him makes you feel the desire to overshare all of your personal information. Even things that you wouldn't normally feel comfortable giving to a stranger are easy to let slip around him. It's not like he would use any of it against you, after all.

**Burden of Proof**

Proving him wrong is an exceedingly difficult task. Gaining credible evidence is hard, getting people to believe it is nigh on impossible. He is a model citizen with a squeaky clean record, nothing seems to stick to him. Not that there's anything to stick to him, of course.

**One of those Faces**

You find it hard to remember any details about him the moment after he slips from your view. It gets hazier with time until it's unclear if you ever saw him at all.

**Monstrous Attributes**

As a Not!Them, he is not entirely human and is quite difficult to kill by conventional means. He only appears human, and thus doesn't have the traditional human needs to breathe/eat/etc. His full monster form has deep black voids for eyes, sharp jagged teeth, and the ability to unhinge his jaw.

## Backstory

Aldritch should not have happened. His mother was infertile, there was no way she should have been pregnant, but the Stranger had other plans. Her boyfriend was swapped with one of their own, and thus Aldritch was conceived. Abandoned by the father, his mother had no choice but to give him up, and indeed found it a relief to be rid of a child that seemed so wrong somehow. Aldritch bounced from foster family to foster family, never putting down roots for more than a few months at a time. He finds it hard to make connections and empathize even to this day, but it doesn’t bother him. His work as a PI is more fulfilling than relationships, manipulating information to sow discord and dissent, always the most satisfied when people break down about how they can’t believe someone they knew so well could be so different than they thought. He chases that feeling however he can, destroying entire families by feeding them false information to feed feelings of distrust and make those who were once so close feel like strangers.
