The Blight

Talbot Grimes made a productivity serum for the British East India Company that killed the workers it was tested on, and was left for dead in a mass grave before monks pulled him out. Blighted Corruption lets him rush and bounce off walls, and Hex: Undying keeps his other totems alive.

The Onryō

Sadako Yamamura killed a journalist with a surge of her own power during a public demonstration of her mother's gifts, then was struck and dropped into a well where she stayed for decades. Deluge of Fear moves her through the televisions, and Merciless Storm turns a generator into a run of skill checks.

The Dark Lord

Vlad Tepes chased the Crimson Stone to cheat death after losing the woman he loved, and sealed his own soul inside it; Trevor Belmont put him down in 1476 with the Vampire Killer. Vampiric Shift moves him between vampire, wolf and bat forms, each with its own way of ending a chase.

Lara Croft

Lara Croft's ship broke in two in a storm on the way to Yamatai, and the Solarii Brotherhood took her while she was looking for her friend Sam. Finesse speeds up her fast vaults, and Specialist turns opened chests into generator progress.

Claudette Morel

Claudette Morel is a botanist from Montreal who earned a scholarship early, then got turned around in the woods on a bus trip and never found her way back. Botany Knowledge and Self-Care turn what she knows about plants into medicine on the spot.

Gas Heaven

Gas Heaven was a rest stop for travellers before it ended up in Autohaven Wreckers, driveway bell and all. It is tied to Azarov's mob connections and to the people who pulled in here and never pulled out.
