Origin[]

William Thomas Stead was a newspaper editor who used investigative journalism during his time with The Paul Mall Gazette to help sway the public’s opinion. He was considered to be one of the most famous people on board the Titanic when it sank.

Effects[]

Taken with Stead on almost every interview and used to uncover numerous scandals, (whether they real or not) even taking it with him on the fateful trip of the Titanic. Somehow, the pocketbook survived the sinking of the Titanic and ended up in New York City where it still to this day active and on the move.

The pocketbook, when on the user's person, extracts the truth no matter how stubborn or relentless the person is. However, if the victim does a selfless act of kindness, the victim is then subjected to immense hypothermia until the victim dies.
