Origin[]

Apollonius of Tyana was a Greek philosopher; little is known about him with certainty. Being a 1st-century orator and philosopher around the time of Christ, he was compared with Jesus of Nazareth by Christians in the 4th century and by various popular writers in modern times. He supposedly travelled to Italy, North Africa, Mesopotamia and India as a philosopher. He would disregard Roman emperors and would happily delight in tyrannicide.

Former Warehouse agent William Melville and Warehouse 12 agents thwarted the Jubilee Plot to assassinate Queen Victoria using the amulet and Julius Asclepiodotus’ Shield Boss.

Effects[]

Allows the user to kill rulers and political leaders from a distance. The amulet will glow a dark green when preparing to ‘fire’. It is currently unknown exactly how the amulet kills rulers; the few times it has been used have recorded different events. It is theorized to be a probability-altering artifact, but the Regents are unwilling to test that theory.
