ACCORDING TO DANTE, my specific kind of freakishness had a name: idimmu.
And that's what had landed me in my current disastrous state. Apparently, idimmu had unique gifts that the Collector wanted, that he could use, such as Dante's ability to locate other idimmu. That ability would certainly be valuable to an evil despot looking to build up his power and influence. And since they could be anywhere in this world, he needed a "finder" like Dante who had some kind of inner "idimmu GPS," because without that, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Although Dante had been able see the true nature of a person, or their aura, he'd only been able to identify these hybrids when they used their abilities, because that's when their auras changed.
