Enabling a person to survive their younger self's death
The first ability he possessed was Paradox. This enabled him to preserve timelines or events which would otherwise be unstable, or even completely impossible. Examples include enabling a person to survive their younger self's death, enabling a person to keep their abilities when their younger self has lost theirs, or enabling an event to occur when a future event, leading from it, would be neccessary to support it.
Preserving against mental manipulation
The second ability he possessed was Ability Preservation. This meant that his abilities could not be stolen, deleted or removed in any way. It protected him from eclipses both natural and induced, mental manipulation, ability deletion, deletion, ability negation, negation and deletion as aspects of ability manipulation, blocking, ability absorption, absorption, vulnerability linked power absorption and ability inhibiting drugs.
Corrupting a man so that he's willing to commit murder
His final ability was Corruption. This is the ability to mentally erode away another's morality until they would be willing to do things they would otherwise deem wrong. The ability requires contact, repetition and renewal, but it can eventually be used to make someone do absolutely anything. Masters used this ability to corrupt an army of abducted children for years.
Brief History[]
Gregory Masters was a villain in World 2. He attempted to form an army to take over the world, and used children to do so. He would abduct the children and relatives of those who would otherwise attempt to stop him, believing that these would be powerful due to their lineage, and that their parents would hesitate before fighting them and him. He would use corruption on these children. One of his victims was Alec Petrelli, while another was Tessa Petrelli. After Alec was freed from the corruption using belief induction, Alec turned against Masters. He tried to capture him, only to find that Masters' ability preservation made this impossible, so Alec drowned him instead.
Etymology[]
Gregory is a Greek name which means "watcher". This may refer to how he used his paradox to watch many timelines before he found one he could use to implement his plan. His surname, Masters, is an English name which means "those who master", and refers both to how he attempted to master the world and his "master-plan".
