Features
Relentless (2) - Passive: The Harbinger can be spotlighted up to two times per GM turn. Spend Fear as usual to spotlight them.
Mount - Passive: While the Harbinger is on their mount, they gain a +2 bonus to their Difficulty. When the Harbinger takes Severe damage, they're knocked from their mount. If the Harbinger is unhorsed, their mount disappears until you mark a Stress to summon it again.
Hunger Pangs - Passive: Countdown (Decreasing 6). When the Harbinger appears, activate the countdown. It ticks down when the Harbinger is spotlighted.

Withering Touch - Action: Spend a Fear to have the Harbinger caress the face of a Restrained PC within Melee range. The target marks 2 Stress and either loses a Hope or marks 1d4 HP.
