Dusk

Mastigos Free Council; Fortitude/Lust

A young Japanese woman given to gothic sensibilities, Dusk is a Mastigos of the Free Council. She believes in the advancement of the human ideal's concept of occultism – where once Christian symbols were simply foreign in Japan, they have become associated with sinister, occult overtones, thanks to works of Japanese popular culture. Dusk wears the terrifying visage of the demons that visited her in her Awakening: tall, elegant creatures, pales of skin and black of garb, that looked like nothing so much as vampiric monks of some kind.

Phobos

Mastigos Free Council; Hope/Wrath

Every inch the practicing psychologist, Phobos (under the guise of Dr. Carl Farris) specializes in phobias and similar neuroses. He has made extensive studies of the mystery traditions of the world, and draws upon elements of those – in particular, the facing of the unknown and the invocation of fear in the postulant – in order to develop the Ordeal Method of treating phobias and other psychological problems. This revolutionary and very controversial technique involves deliberately creating situations where the patient isn't sure what is going on and facing them with the sources of their fears, while ensuring that there is a built-in mechanism to allow them to triumph over that source of fear.
