❝Lady Luck is smilin'.❞
The power bestowed upon Raleigh during the Lazarus ceremony is one of underlying nature, so subtle in it's mechanics that he remains entirely unaware of it's existence. Minor alterations in the essence of his metaphysical matrix of being allow the mind of The Aurelius Charlatan to instinctively correspond with the quantum quasirealm of universal probability through a phenomenon known as the 'Synchronicity Wave' - innately positive ripples on the ocean of possibility. Being attuned to this positive cosmic vibration endow Rae with the ability to operate within three-dimensional space in a fashion that yields benefits with every accidental micro-twitch of his body. He is consistently able to seamlessly execute lethal acrobatic routines and feats of impossible accuracy, tenacity and fortune with little-to-no prior consideration or planning at all.
Enhanced Reflexes - The underlying mechanic of his esoteric power is essentially activity, and even proactivity to an extent, to ensure function. The ability is only effective when Raleigh makes an effort at something. In laymans terms this means that if he wants to survive getting crushed by debris then he has to make the moves himself and his power will subconsciously guide him out of harm's way through neural stimulation at a synaptic level. Ergo, Rae's natural reflex arc is cultivated at a sub-celluar level to provide seamless transition of these synaptic sensations and instantaneous relay of information in the boundaries of the autonomic nervous system.
Reality Alteration Immunity - A peculiar effect of being attuned to the quasi-frequencies of this 'Synchronicity Wave' is that of practical harmony between the current introcontinual frame and Raleigh's physiology. Unlike other individuals The Aurelius Charlatan subtly vibrates at a frequency that is not relative or random and rather correlates with the 'basic' state of the universe. This unique personal oscillation grants him the uncanny ability to not only passively resist but outright refuse and negate the rigors of probabily manipulation in possibly all forms. His mnemonic cerebral facilities will always remain true to his history and he cannot be simply plucked out of the time-space continuum.
Enchantment Bypass - The existence of his personal hyper-probability allows The Prince of Lies to interact with arcane artefacts in an unorthodox manner because he simply sabotages all rules of magic and witchcraft. For all intents and purposes protective enchantments, charms, curses, hexes, etc. placed upon objects react to Raleigh as if he was an exception, for example he would be able to use an enchanted hammer despite not qualifying as worthy simply because of the way his luck disrupts the esoteric fields in it's vicinity. In a similar fashion he is able to operate cursed objects without any lasting effects or discomforts and bypasses blood-based enchantments.
Ω The First Horseman (Conquest) Ω
❝Success, if I simply gave it to you, you wouldn’t have the pleasure of taking it.❞
In the wake of uncovering an ancient burial site in the uncharted isles of the Caribbean, Raleigh had met the hurting steed of ghostly character and in tending to it's side fulfilled the required, yet entirely enigmatic, conditions needed for to attain the role of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. His endless ambition and yearning for world's secrets of course symbolizing Conquest, the First of the Horsemen. Aside from being granted the forementioned biblical status, the position also comes with a considerable repertoire of otherworldly abilities.
- Campaign Empowerment - Raleigh is the endeavor and success made manifest in a corporeal vessel, and thusly The First Horseman is the initially weakest of the four by nature. However, supernatural tethers binding him to the distribution of his own existence, his inhuman abilities profit greatly from his own achievements. In mysterious ways, the esoteric powers of The Horseman of Conquest increase in proportion to his worldly influence. In other words: The more he conquers, the stronger he gets. Logic would dictate that to be the case with all men however his capacity does not grow only from a persuasive stand-point, but from an angle of personal potency as well. He will continue to develop in strength until there is none left to take.
- Increased Athleticism: Conquest demands great aptitude and thusly it's personification is a true paradigm of the principle. In all meanings, Raleigh is an advancement from the baseline human. He is estranged to all exhaustion and common limits of the body due to physiological fortification on a quantum level. He is stronger, faster and immesurably more agile than the human populus and even more so than some metahuman individuals. Transfering his realm of functionality into the spheres of multi-ton potency, his entire cardiovascular and skeletal systems are in a constant state of flux due to the means of his empowerment. The First Horseman will only continue to grow in his strengths, be they physical or mental.

- Vision - ...
- Apportation:A special strand of his esoteric visual prowess is the ability to summon objects within his effective range of vision to his side. This ability does not have any know restriction aside from a clear dependency on his visual facilities. The most practical use of this power, despite it's infrequent use, is the appropriation of an opponent's weapon or remote thievery. However, when targeting an object currently in the possession of another, they must be unaware of the item for the ability to work so he is for example unnable to apport someone's clothing unless he is able to distract their focus first.

Polyglot - One of his prime passions being works of literature and linguism en masse, Raleigh has built himself into an oratory giant. With natural seeping ambition and fluency of delivery The Prince of Lies masters over a dozen languages and in various dialects. His broad vocabulary dawns in Italian and Maori, the duo being the primary languages of his split ethnicity. However, he amassed a vast array if languages throughout his course, such as: English, Spanish, Indonesian, German, French, Czech and Slovak, a margin of Arabic, Japanese and atleast a small amount of Tibetean. While that is not the entirety of his expertise it serves as a good assessment device. Raleigh also understands some long dead, being taught to read and write in Latin when he temporarily found himself in a Catholic orphanage during his early years and seems capable of translating middle age English.
