Mazoku Lady

ADVERSARY | CONFLICT RANK: 8 10

Lady Mazoku is the secret patron of the Falcon Clan. Over the centuries, she has taught the clan’s Phantom Hunters to deal with supernatural threats that would otherwise overwhelm them. She rarely reveals herself directly, but when she does, she appears as an elegant woman wearing robes of a style not seen for many centuries.

She frequently travels to the Mortal Realm as part of her duty to hunt down and return escaped spirits to Gaki-dō. If her association with human agents were discovered, however, Emma-Ō would be forced to punish her for the crime of involving mere mortals in the affairs of the dead.

ABILITIES

MAGISTRATE OF GAKI-DŌ

Lady Mazoku is an Otherworldly being, though she appears as a normal human. She doubles her vigilance when detecting Otherworldly or Tainted beings, mahō use, or kansen activity. When Lady Mazoku unmasks, everyone who can see her suffers 6 strife as her form shifts into inhuman shapes before settling as she composes herself.

VETERAN GAKI HUNTER

Once per scene, should a PC sufficiently impress Lady Mazoku with devotion to the cause of capturing and containing malign spirits, she may impart to the PC some of her wisdom concerning this subject. The PC lowers the TN of their checks targeting such spirits by 1 for the remainder of the session.
