[QUOTE="That One Guy, post: 4316621, member: 64672"] Controls others with magic, huh? Doppleganger tangent... the three as one idea is pretty cool. But, what if those three were actually just 'puppets' or undead or brainwashed people or something that didn't actually have telepathy but were controlled by a true mastermind? That could lead to some fun confusion. Along the lines of the aforementioned assassin idea (one I endorse.
