Pheles

Metthew Istoph Pheles

Pheles is a Megahuman whose Megability allows him to gain demonic magical power, which stems from the beliefs of others. As in, if someone believes he can breathe fire, he gains the ability to cough up a small flame; but if a hundred people believe he can breathe fire, he can release a breath-flame that can rival a dragon's. With this in mind, he founded a cult, which he named the Umbral Fellowship.

His current "true form" is unknown (but still humanoid) following the founding of the cult, but he has since gained the ability to shapeshift (among others), and so mostly remains appearing human.

Tenets of Faith

Pheles was a bit of a fan of games by Bethesda Softworks; as such, he has modeled his cult off of the Dark Brotherhood, bordering on copyright infringement:

• Tenet I -- Pray twice daily once when you awaken, and once prior to retiring. Failing to do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet II -- Attend the Sanctum for at least seven hours each week. Failing to do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet III -- Never dishonor the Umbral Father. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet IV -- Never betray the Umbral Fellowship or its secrets. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet V -- Never disobey or refuse to carry out an order from an Umbral Fellowship superior. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet VI -- Never steal the possessions of an Umbral Fellow. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
• Tenet VII -- Never kill an Umbral Fellow. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Pheles.
