HE'S A WAT THO
Necromancer. Bone conjurer. That Guy You Don't Invite to Grandma's Funeral. Whatever you feel like calling it, Cassian is a professional medium, witch and necromancer, well versed in black and white magic as well as holy magic and raising the dead.
He's as good as waking them as he is at putting them back to bed.
While one would imagine this would jar rather sharply with being a priest, one would be overestimating just how much Cassian actually cares. One thousand years of suffering from a tragically non-terminal case of failure to die has perhaps rendered him, at the very least, somewhat skeptical of what the rules actually are, supernaturally and religiously speaking.
But his life philosophies aren't what's being discussed here.
He's also a professional supernatural being exterminator. This is all rather commonplace in his own world, many people of his profession have billboards and everything, yellow page ads, yelp pages, everything is out there and waiting for someone to call to get rid of the dullahan hanging out in their back yard and shitting up the garden.
Powers are as follows, if he actually preps them.
Raise Dead, takes several minutes to cast and take effect
Turn Dead
Communicate with ghosts
Proxy (allow the spirit to work and speak through him)
Cassian also crafts runes that can be activated with a power word. These can be carved into anything that can actually allow for it, including rocks, walls, books, wood and a myriad of other fun things.
His favorite trick is making explosive runes and giving his opponents a big old hug so look out for that one.
Powers related to Hastur are only activated once he's no longer in control of his own mind, and are as follows.
Illusion magic
Touch of Madness (Touch attack that causes temporary insanity)
Improved raise dead, instant casting and reaction, though the raised bone constructs are flimsy and easily defeated, if one moves quickly enough.
While under the total control of Hastur, immaterial wings seem to appear and vanish at his back like red fog. There appear to be six of them in total. He may also seem to be draped in yellow, or his face obscured by clockwork gears, or perhaps a massive iron crown sitting on his head.
Cassian typically carries a shotgun loaded with blessed silver bullets and elephant shot, an iron hunting knife, a bible, and a black book of spells.
