The Watcher

""

Summary
The Watcher was an entity known by few. He rarely revealed himself to others, often only to his next victim. First spotted in Woolton Village, Liverpool, he terrorised the local church-goers, stalking the graveyard out of sight from most. His fatal mistake was attempting to prey on The Inspector, who swiftly ended his life after discovering his true identity, and intentions.

Stats and Abilities
Tier: High 9C | 7C through The Reaping

Powers and Abilities: Weaknesses:
 * Superhuman characteristics - In particular, superhuman speed, strength, intelligence, reaction time and durability.
 * Improved bodily regeneration and resistance to most normally fatal wounds.
 * Shadow manipulation - Can warp in and out of shadows at will, which can be used for both transportation and stealth. Allowed him to even escape detection of The Investigator.
 * Highly manipulative - Was able to deceive The Investigator for a short amount of time.
 * Vampiric bite and resurrection - Bites and sucks the life energy out of any living organism. Those who have fallen victim to this may be raised from the dead as his acolytes.
 * Immortality - Being a vampire, The Watcher essentially doesn't age, explaining why he lived to be over 200 years old.
 * The Hunt - The vampires of the Foran Family bloodline find their vampiric and physical abilities to generally be stronger during the night. This is when the majority of their hunts take place.
 * The Reaping - Another ability shared by many of the Foran Family bloodline, The Reaping occurs during notable cosmological events such as eclipses and blood moons. Here, their vampiric powers and physical abilities are bolstered massively, allowing for a great vampiric hunt, known as The Reaping, to commence.
 * While not directly hindered by the sun, The Watcher's powers are far more potent during the night.
 * While The Watcher may be able to resist and recover from many injuries that would be fatal for a human, such as being shot or decapitated, a stake through the chest and into the heart is enough to finish him off. He learned this from The Investigator the hard way...
 * Areas that lack shadows greatly hinder The Watcher's shadow manipulation ability, and since he is a vampire, he lacks a shadow of his own, rendering him somewhat helpless if found in a tough situation.

Trivia

 * The Watcher rarely used his dead-raising ability, as he found his newly gained followers to be more of a burden than of benefit.
 * Unlike most, The Watcher preferred to hunt during the day, even though his powers are weaker, as people will expect it far less. This is further proof of his great intellectual ability, a major factor to why he had survived so long compared to the rest of the Foran bloodline.
 * Some say The Watcher bares a striking resemblance to Santiago Foran. I honestly don't see it.
