Avocat

Pierre LeMaitre always believed that the law should be about justice. He felt that the court system only worked if people in court had courageous and ethical lawyers working on their behalf, and that those lawyers and judges needed to be solemn advisors to a sacred duty. While he knew all too well that his beliefs were far from universal, Pierre conducted himself with the assumption that being a lawyer was a sacred trust, and he offered his services as an advocate and mediator in line with those high minded Ideals.
Pierre’s natural wit and compassion, combined with his honest and forthright manner, made his words persuasive. This made him of use to the ancient sorcerer Malador the Mystic as the raw material in a spell of domination. Malador enchanted Pierre, transforming his personal credo to always speak the truth into a mandate: all he said would be true. With this power of mystical compulsion and Pierre bound to his will as a mindless automaton, Malador could wield the public servant in a new scheme of world domination.
UNIQUE ultimately defeated Malador, saving Pierre but at a cost: Malador’s spell was permanent. Pierre could now compel obedience with the humblest words, whether he wanted to or not.
In spite of his best efforts then and now, Pierre’s control is imperfect—his powers sometimes force people to do what he wants even without him consciously compelling them. He feels it inappropriate to continue arguing the law—it felt like a perversion of justice to force a judge or jury to agree with him. As a result, although he has kept his legal license, he retired from casework and instead joined UNIQUE, hoping to put his curse to good use until he can find a cure.
