Character History
The Fifth Stage
When Claire and Gretchen pass a game booth, they see a burly guy who claims to have played minor league baseball missing the bottles with every shot. Claire tells Gretchen to watch the game operator's right hand and, as the burly guy throws the ball he can be seen making a slight motion with it, and consequently altering the course of the ball. Gretchen dismisses him as a con artist, but quickly changes her mind when a small girl tries next. The girl makes an attempt to knock the bottles down, and although her throw is weak and is about to fall short of the target, the Game operator uses his ability to quickly lift the ball and guide it towards the bottles. The game operator congratulates the girl and gives her a stuffed animal as a prize.
