The Politician

A former con-man who decided to try his hand out at the biggest ruse of them all, government. He was already a fairly charismatic and persuasive person before the apocolypse, though he never used his talents for anyone other than himself. Selfish and deceptive to the core, The Politician joined the Illuminati because he felt that it would be the best way to help himself out in this post-cataclysmic world.

Powers
Belief Inducment:  The power to manipulate others by making them belive in something.

Voice Projection:  The user can make their voice come from somewhere else, even great distances or somewhere where the user isn't physically present.

This dynamic duo of powers allows The Politician to change the alignment, purpose, or even emotions of those whom his booming voice can reach, which would be nearly everyone. Impressive though it may be, his power weakens against those with fortified minds, psionic abilities, and impressive willpower. As he is arguably the most "mortal" out of all the new super-beings, he can be killed by anything a normal human would be. Although. this selfish bastard is not above convincing another person to become his meat shield.

The Illuminati
In The Illuminati The Politician serves as a recruitment agent and a propagandist extraodinaire. He's the once that gathers groups of goons to join the Illuminati's forces and "interviews" prospective additions to the team. He also convinces the public that The Illuminati does not exist and that all is right in the world.\
