Hiroshi Ōshima’s Purple Cipher Machine

Origin
Hiroshi Ōshima was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army, Japanese ambassador to Nazi Germany before and during World War II — and unknowingly a major source of communications intelligence for the Allies. Unbeknownst to the Japanese, the Americans had successfully cracked their secure Purple cipher and were reading their messages. All of Ōshima’s correspondences provided great knowledge on what Hitler planned to do next in Europe, especially concerning Russia. He supported what would be considered war crimes, such as shooting rescue lifeboats, on which he was convicted after the war and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Effects
Any electronic and hand-delivered message sent or received will reach the victim’s adversary first. They will either have the original file misplaced through coincidence into the use’s possession or have a copy of the message sent to them. It will then be forwarded to the intended party and remove all marks of tampering. The user’s personality will morph into a combination of arrogance, merciless and sheer cluelessness.
