Powers

• Exposure to radiation and specialized training left him blind but with his remaining senses expanded, along with a nigh-supernatural ability to consciously extend and focus his sensory perceptions, including superhuman hearing, smell, taste, and touch, as well as a “radar sense” able to map the rough outline of his environment in 360 degrees
• Limited understanding of the Chaste’s methods gives him the capacity to move life energy around, accelerating his own healing through meditation or draining life from one source and moving it to another for healing, resurrection, or purifying corrupted souls
• Temporarily enhanced by the magic of the Fist with enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and even greater senses
• Billy club weapon is a set of expertly-weighted connecting truncheons, useful as throwing weapons thanks to his superhuman sense of touch guiding their balance and ricochets, and with a grappling line fired from the tip
• Previously modified itself to function as a blind man’s cane in civilian identity, with various incorporated features, such as a tape recorder, smokescreen pellets, fast-deploying plastic sheet, collapsible flexi-shield, and boomerang, rifle, nunchaku, or quarterstaff modes
