Malik
The strategist
Malik watches small movements, repeated patterns and the spaces other people overlook. Patient and analytical, he would rather prevent a disaster than win an argument about it.
The speed of his perception can look like intuition. It is still an interpretation of the world in front of him.
- Ability
- Processes visual information rapidly, anticipating immediate movement and noticing security patterns.
- Limits
- He cannot see the future. Unpredictable actions, emotion and conflicting information can defeat his reading.
“Winning a fight is easy compared with surviving what happens after it.”
