View source for Omou


Omou was a [[mongrelman]] with powerful [[psionic]] powers and one of [[the Obsessions]], the special servants [[Esmae Amarantha]]. He had a great [[obsession|obessive]] love for her. When she ultimately rejected him, Omou went on a rampage through [[Barovia]], his psionic powers leaving chaos and destruction in his wake.

==History==
Once a [[human]] infected with [[leprosy]], Omou was somehow turned into a powerful mongrelman psychic by the land itself. Omou was eventually discovered by Esmae Amarantha, the mightiest of the [[Barovian Witch]]es. She made him [[the Fourth Obsession]]. Like with the other Obsessions, Omou had a fixation he could not rid himself up. To Esmae, these qualities were important traits to exploit in manipulating them. Omou became [[obsessed]] with the radiant Esmae herself.

Omou foolishly believed (or chose to believe) that he could win her love if he just proved himself worthy of it, to show his inner beauty. Like with the other Obsessions, Esmae charged Omou was charged with finding one of [[Tatyana's possessions]], specifically [[Tatyana's silver mirror]]. Omou completed this task and expressed his love. Esmae rejected him. Already unstable, the rejection motivated to take to horseback and ride through Barovia, wreaking havoc with his great mental powers. Some [[adventurer]]s confronted Omou, and he was killed, either by the adventurers or his own overactive psionic powers.
