Real Name: Unrevealed
Occupation: Fool
Identity: Publicly known among his own people.
Known Powers:
Resistances: The nature of the Brethren's very being, including the Fool, grants them CL5000 resistance to toxins and disease. In fact, germs and bacteria seemed to be what the Brethren feed upon.
Telepathic Rapport: A Thane of the Brethren and his Fool have a telepathic rapport with their people. In the past, this power was used to control the blood lust of the Brethren in battle. Thane Ector and his Fool, together with Sersi, used this power to summon the disembodied Brethren and form the Unimind.
Relationship to the Thane: The Thane of the Brethren and his Fool are children of the same parents. Upon reaching the fifteenth birthday of the boy chosen to rule, they are told the true origin of their people. The role of the Fool is to remind his brother of the biology of the Brethren and the niche they are destined to fill in the cosmic order. Should the Thane ignore his brother's counsel and overstep his authority or attempt to upset the ancient balance, the Fool, through the telepathic rapport they share, can attack or even kill the Thane. This system of checks and balances has apparently kept the Brethren on their appointed mission of destruction for centuries.
Role-Playing Notes:
Ector's Fool did all that he could to help Ector maintain power and preserve the ways of the Brethren. Until their race's last moments on Earth, only he and Ector know their true origins. Though the Fool always sought to give his brother good council, in the end, he was wrong about the Brethren's inability to rise above their biology and was instrumental in the creation of the Unimind which defeated the Collector.
