Story[]

The Reliquary is an ancient and powerful organization that polices the world for powerful artifacts from ancient times. Hunters like César scour the world to contain dangerous relics and to stop those who would use them for evil purposes. César would have died long ago, but a powerful relic replaced his heart and sustains his body and mind, making him immortal. Though there is one problem with the core, it requires power to run.

In the past Cesar has tried to escape the Reliquary but it has always ended the same. His core will shut down and agents will be sent to retrieve him. After a few centuries he has resigned himself to his work though he now has a grim sense of humor about the whole situation.

Appearance[]

Unofficial Rule FAQs[]

Q: What happens exactly if César uses Fueled?

A: He gains a Threat Level Counter but not the attached effects he would gain during the ante phase. If he then has 4 counters he loses the Stun Immunity he got at ante and becomes stunned. Again, he does not gain Soak 2 in that case. (Official FAQ)

Q: The Alternate Unique Ability stuns César when gains his 5th counter. Should Fueled be played in a different way?

A: You can just play it as written, or house-rule it to say 5 instead of 4. AUA's are intended to be a casual fun variant, much like arenas, so it's largely at the player discretion what goes. (Official FAQ)
