 Brother Justin Crowe Information
In 1934, Justin once again began exhibiting strange supernatural abilities, including the power to force people to relive their greatest sins in the form of terrifying, traumatic visions that Justin himself would also experience.
While hospitalized, Justin discovered he had the ability to manipulate and control those around him through sheer force of will, eventually commanding rooms full of people to fall silent simply by uttering the words "be still" (even though, in some cases, the people affected were not even within earshot).
He also claims that Justin would have continued to struggle with the darker side of his own nature, and that ultimately the audience would have been left in doubt as to whether Justin was truly evil or his counterpart truly good.
