## Combat

Liam prefers nonlethal methods when possible. He will open fights by attempting to mind control all of his opponents. If he fails, he will instead use mind crush to incapacitate opponents. He will then escape combat and capture any opponents as necessary by ordering his mind slaves to either stand down or follow him. If Liam must kill his opponents, he will either force his mind slaves to kill his enemies and themselves or will slit the throats of opponents who are unconscious due to mind crush. Liam will only engage in physical combat when his psi powers are disabled.

## Biography and Personality

Liam's mother was also a member of The Fates. Like her son, she was a promising telepath. However, when Liam was a toddler his mother became the host for The Master's spirit. Liam spent much of his childhood away from society being taught by the master where he read, studied history, and practiced his telepathy. The Master saw no use in exercise, and Liam grew to be weak of body and strong of mind. As he aged and grew in power, The Master began to send him out into the world to shape the future to fit The Fates' utopian vision.

Although Liam is smart and powerful, he has followed orders from The Master (who serves as both a parent and a mentor) for so long that he will rarely take action on his own accord. However, he is good at delegating tasks (especially to his mind slaves), and understands how to lead, he just rarely thinks to do so without being delegated a task. Because of Liam's dedication to history, he believes that each individual can shape the world both in life and death. As such, he takes life seriously and will only end a life to serve what he believes to be the greater good.

Liam will usually observe events and important people from the shadows, using his gifts with mind control to shape events as he sees necessary (or more accurately, how The Master sees necessary). As a result, he is quiet but not shy or timid.

He would do anything for The Fates and for The Master as they are they only family and only truth he has ever known. He is a hard worker and will go above and beyond to serve his cause as well as he can, but he often feels lost without The Master's guidance and wisdom. Even his hobbies are a result of his devotion to his work as he reads and writes, gaining an understanding of the world and its history and transcribing the vision and wisdom of The Master.
