The Whisperer

Designers Notes:
The Whisperer is 6'3" and 180 lbs. He is almost always dressed in dark clothing and hat with face mask and leather gloves. He wears a surgical mask under his regular mask. He always keeps his face hidden and no one is really sure who he really looks like.

The Whisperer is a sick man, very sick. His body rages with just about every disease known to man, meaning that the Whisperer is always ill and usually in constant pain. By breathing (or coughing on someone) he can transmit this disease to others, killing them in short order. He works as an assassin for the Shadow Fists.

Power note: The Whisper's Drain works like this: he must breath on his victim (since his target is usually not expecting this it shouldn't be a problem). If he hits, the target takes a 4d6 Body Drain once an hour, every hour for 1 day. If he lives (fat chance) then he will recover his lost Body at 5 Active Points per week.
