Sent to protect and guide the children, he teaches them all they need to know to rule the cities they were set to preside over by God. He has the power of invisibility, camouflage, pyrokinesis, and pathokinesis.
Pathokinesis is the ability to change people's emotions. Holders of this power are only able to manipulate those who are within earshot, and / or within the field of distance. While developed persons can see or potentially hear someone, the developed person can use the power. This power is seen in cupids.
Pyrokinesis is the purported psychic ability allowing a person to create and control fire with the mind.
He can control minds, but only uses it against enemies. If he does against anyone else, it means he thought he had to as a means of protecting them or himself. He is 60 in the first season.
