Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Never unarmed
Unarmed is a minset
Tommy leaps out of the way of danger in a set of smooth practiced motions, almost like he's done this once or twice before - his light frame dances circles around his adversariey, his athletic but by no means huge limbs lashing out like enraged vipers, aiming for particularly, soft and brittle targets alike.

Nikolai's guns
Wait a second let me finish polishing my guns
Nikolai's arms are solid metal. Kind of like Jax from MK, but with nice pattern engravings. He wears a turtleneck and leather gloves to hide his massive guns.He seems to have no feeling in his arms, no pain or tactile sensation. Due to this he has trouble controlling his own strength.The arms seem virtually indestructible, made out of some kind of unknown alloy, light enough for him to operate as if they were normal arms, but also super dense.They do however emit slight biological signatures.
