Typhon's nature

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The nature of his mental powers might include the ability to impress his 
brain's pattern upon another.  He does this a bit, when Sev feels his 
mind gripped by a vise when Typhon tries to make him submit to an oath.
