Doomsayer is a villain who is not popular with other villains. Their innate magical ability to predict future outcomes is a curse. For Doomsayer can only foresee the worst possible outcomes, never the positive ones. The visions visited upon Doomsayer are clear pictures of the future but merely strong possibilities of future event, but always in the negative result. This does not mean success is not possible it simply means that Doomsayer can only see the negative possible outcomes. While this ability has value to villainous planners it also aggravates and angers a society full of people who believe themselves to be evil geniuses. However, those with foresight value Doomsayer’s ability to expose possible flaws in their plans and Theocracy leaders have protected Doomsayer from their detractors more than once. The House of Rods places great value on knowing when it’s about to misstep and that makes Doomsayer valuable. Doomsayer is kept comfortable but rarely gets to act on their prediction themselves due to the value the House of Rods places on Doomsayer’s safety.
Doomsayer is a villain trapped by their own indispensable visions of a future that is always the worst possible outcome. Controlling their own villainous destiny is not currently possible for Doomsayer but with the coming of the Occularium all of that can change. The Shuffling is rumored to be happening at this Occularium and that means the possibility of being moved into another House. Doomsayer can never shake off their curse or the Theocracy but perhaps in a different House with different superiors Doomsayer could reclaim some lost agency.
