Ringleaders right hand Man 😜
I have a character  on my profile named Silas veyr.  (tagged below) he would either be his son ( who’s the mom 😏), his trainee ( next ringleader to-be), or loyal employee. He’s charming, mischievous, reckless, and dangerously handsome. But behind that mask of chaos, he’s actually quite witty. He notices everything. ….
His special ability is called “brainwashed marionette”.
He can’t make you automatically submit to his will
Instead, his power relies on a bond.
The stronger bond he has with the person (the more the person trusts him let’s say) the stronger of an influence he has on them
His power slowly erases memories
And develops a slow but strong influence in the brain
Making the opposing person want to please him.
Eventually, he brainwashes the victim completely.
Hehe. 😜
