Hound



The Hound is an Agent.

A hunter pure and simple - this infernal beast harries the steps of its foe, and even those who escape with life intact are hounded by its never-ending call. Lacking any skill in Infiltration or Command, The Hound is the perfect choice for an Old One who seeks to eliminate a threat. Any Hero wounded by The Hound grants Infiltration until this wound is healed, and you can be assured the wound will be grievous given The Hound's brutal traits. With double the speed of an average Hero and an uncanny ability to seek out particular targets it won't take long for The Hound to claim its foe.

Recruitment
Detail how to unlock and recruit this agent.

Stats
The Hound has very low Infiltration and Command, presumably his Attack and Defense will be very high.

Scheme
The Hound's scheme is Seething Howl which causes any Hero who is wounded by The Hound to take Willpower damage. The maddening howl also causes any Hero who is below half Willpower to gain a signature paranoia that increases in severity with every Seething Howl. With enough pressure, even the most stalwart of champions will be driven to Confront the Hound to end the insanity.

Special Mechanics
Uniquely, when The Hound has killed his prey he can return to his infernal home. This allows you to return to your original plans, or pay the price to bring The Hound back for another hunt. At the same time The Hound gains one strength for each kill, but the stronger he is the more Ancient Power it takes to Activate him.
