Origin[]
Grigory Vakulinchuk (1877– 14/27 June 1905) served the Imperial Navy under the Russian battleship Potemkin. Once conscripted, he monitored radical study circles and even pretended to break-up meetings, instead learning all he could and protecting members.
Chief Officer Giliarovsky threatened to execute 30 sailors for refusing to eat maggot infested meat. The crew mutinied. Vakulenchuk sacked the armory and aimed for Giliarovsky; both were fatally wounded. A committee of 25 sailors formed, announcing their rebellion on the way to Odessa with a red flag Giliarovsky snuck abroad. Vakulenchuk’s funeral was held two days later, and the 80 rubles of his life savings was split between his father and his crewmates.
Effects[]
As Vakulenchuk often allowed fellow comrades to escape punishment while he handled the situation, the cap now repays those favors. It makes only the wearer invisible, allowing them to sneak with impunity and assist their friends. One condition – it only works when absolutely still or moving at a walking pace. Otherwise fast movement will increase their opaqueness until they find a location to duck and cover. Also has the tendency to rot any meat products they approach, so don’t try getting a free meal at a steakhouse.
