Addendum ch.375His Guardian Spirit Beast marked his sleeping guards with seals. Whatever he wills, the beast interprets through them — a weapon he never asked for and cannot refuse.
Addendum ch.386When his beast's power fires, his consciousness appears to transfer into a marked guard's body, expending that guard's life. Each shot costs a follower.
Addendum ch.403His ability — The Boy Who Shoots the Arrow: Grimmel the Dissonance — is a forced mind swap: a group of willing followers powers an aura arrow, and one of them exchanges minds with whoever it strikes.

Addendum ch.404He then poisoned his own body with the stolen TSK-17 vial. The body died; the mind did not. Operating from inside Balsamilco, he ran his own funeral, disbanded his guards, and kept fighting — Nasubi confirms his right of succession persists as long as his soul resides in a body.
