27: H. Singh // Whisper

Power: Psychic Suggestion

Singh came from a senior army family: their parents were posted to a series of camps and garrisons all around India. It meant never putting down roots; and, when they were old enough, being sent to boarding school. This seemed like a welcome stability, and the chance to make real friends for the first time. Singh measured and understood the way that Frazer College society worked: the hierarchies and alliances. Singh and their Marked friends were near the bottom, but that was OK, it could be fixed. It turned out that people would still make concessions, grant favours, and remit punishments, when Singh really wanted that to happen. It was only after some time that they realized this was actually the exercise of their powers. This brought a crisis of conscience. Was it right to benefit from the powers by manipulating people in this way?
