Powers:

Caligari had superior knowledge in the dealings of the mind, granting him near total hypnotic control over Cesare. Caligari is considered to have the following abilities:

• Hypnotic Control: Caligari has complete hypnotic control over Cesare in the Hollywood type of Hypnotism that allows Caligari to order Cesare to kill with impunity. Caligari’s control over Cesare is near complete – As such any attempt to interfere or control Cesare will be against a combined Psyche of both, In (40) effort. In addition, Cesare will have no real reaction outside of Caligari’s commands. It has been suggested that Caligari could have hypnotized many other along the way (See Limitations), from the point of view of Francis, this is a certainty.  
• Cesare: Caligari’s somnambulist Cesare is his servant and slave, commanded by Caligari to commit terrible acts and murders. Cesare is considered to have the following FASERIPS: F: Ex (20) A: Gd (10) S: Gd (10)* E: Rm (30) R: Typ (06) I: Pr (04) P: Ex (20)/Fe (2) (Against others/ Against Caligari) Health: 80 Karma: 40/12, Popularity: 2/-5. Cesare has the equivalent of Iron Will* at Ex (20), ignoring the physical, mental, and emotional effects on his body while under the thrall of Caligari. In addition, Cesare will literally fall down dead while still trying to enact Caligari’s will, as seen in the film. Cesare cannot be stunned in the traditional sense, but can be stunned or slammed regardless.

Contacts:

Caligari has contacts throughout Italy, and specifically in the Asylum that is he ran prior to his unmasking as a madman and criminal.

Limitations:

Dr. Caligari has several limitations:

• Known Criminal and Madman: Caligari is a known deranged madman and criminal once his activities have been discovered. In fact, Caligari is committed to the same intuition he was once the administrator for.
• Obsession: Caligari is obsessed with the stories and personage of an Italian mystic of the 12^th century named Caligari whose story he mirrors in activity.
• Unusual Appearance: Dr. Caligari is an older man who still stands out in a crowd, but Cesare is very strange looking and suffers a -2cs to all reaction and social interactions.
• Imaginary****: Dr. Caligari is not real, but the delusions of a man named Francis is has imagined those around him in the institution as being part of a grand story. Caligari in fact is Francis’s doctor, while Cesare is a peaceful quiet inmate who seems rather shy and withdrawn.  Caligari’s abilities and FASERIP are different, and he is not a sinister character but rather a sympathetic doctor trying to help his patient. (One of the first twist endings in cinema)
