Obloquy was a unique psychic that could cause unimaginable pain just by transmitting the word "pain" in your mind. He was a member of Foe's gang, and like the rest of the gang, he was a strange nihilist who wanted the world to see the world and himself burn.
In the shopping center, Obloquy and Mercy try to activate the Doomsday Machine, but both of them are knocked unconscious by Valkyrie Cain. They are then arrested.
Obloquy and the rest of Foe's gang are broken out of prison by the Supreme Council and are ordered to kill China Sorrows. After an initial failure at her estate, he creeps up on her in The Church of the Faceless and inflicts pain on China. However, China uses a rune that causes her thoughts to enter his mind and ravage it, leaving him stunned momentarily.
He allowed Darquesse to possess him and murdered Stephanie before his body burned out.
Magic[]
Obloquy is a Sensitive, who specializes in inflicting pain on others. He has telepathic abilities so that means he is able to control people's minds. He used this against Ryan when he invades his mind and tells him to be in pain, and the boy was forced to obey.
