History

George Leicester was originally a British doctor who went to work in the Philippines. There, he helped resuscitate a Hindu yogi who had been sentenced to death but was innocent of the crime he was convicted of. To thank Leicester for saving his life, the yogi took him to a mysterious hidden temple and performed a ritual that gave him superpowers. He taught Leicester in the use of his powers, and introduced him to many mystical potions and remedies which, up to that point, had yet to be discovered by the rest of the world. Now emboldened with a new sense of purpose, Leicester adopted the name "Fascinax" and dedicated his life to combating supernatural threats across the globe.

At some point, Fascinax moved to Rockbay City, and became one of its superpowered Protectors. When Kurt Lutz approached the Protectors seeking help, Fascinax's augmented senses alerted him to Kurt's hidden power. Fascinax shouted to the others that Kurt was a super, and charged at him, but Kurt let out a burst of air that sent Fascinax flying.

Abilities & Powers

• Medical Expertise - Fascinax was a professional doctor before his transformation into a vigilante. Nowadays, he combines his medical expertise with mystical potions to achieve a variety of effects.
• Augmented Senses - All of Fascinax's senses are amplified to an extreme degree. When used in conjuction with his skills as a former doctor, he can instantly detect whether someone is nervous or lying by listening to their heartbeat. He can also sense the presence of Kø in individuals, as evidenced when he sensed the Kø present in Kurt.
• Hypnotic Vision - Fascinax can hypnotize targets through eye contact, causing them to enter a suggestive trance.
• Danger Marks - When Fascinax is in imminent danger, burning marks and symbols appear on his body as a warning. The burning sensation is only to notify him of a new mark; both it and the marks disappear over time.
• Precognition - Through meditation and concentration, Fascinax can receive brief glimpses of future events, though he has little control over what he sees.
• Retrocognition - Through meditation and concentration, Fascinax can receive brief glimpses of specific past events that help to shed light on unanswered questions and mysteries.

Trivia

• Fascinax was the title character of an obscure French comic series of the same name that was produced in the 1920s.
• Kon has never read the comic, nor does he ever intend to; he chose to include Fascinax just because he fit the setting of the RPG he appeared in.
