Literally authority. Absurdly broken. Anyone having relation to the 1st apostle are overpowered. Like Charlie for example.
Back to Jake, as a lvl 1 can already influence a lvl 4, the spike lady, if I recall correctly, albeit by only making small suggestions, still though, that's a feat in itself. Only a handful can resist it, and at lvl 2 he can take over a damn city, the utility and range of its might is mind boggling.
So yes, if Jake reached lvl 5, he would be annoying to deal with. But will MC lose???
