David appears to die. He crumples and his body collapses to the ground. His spirit rises away from the corpse and is dragged below the earth. Then his spirit claws its way out of the Beyond an hour later, dragging itself by its fingertips back to his corpse, where it enters and life is returned to him.
While David may have acquired many of his other abilities through research, this one he acquired through willpower. When he died, Vance decided he had too much on the line to pass away, and he clawed his way back from the Beyond itself to keep up the fight.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state, though you appear dead to any means of detecting life. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.
If, while you are unconscious, your wound level rises above your rating in Body + Brawn, or if you take an Injury with Severity greater than your rating in Brawn, you die. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

The TSA's worst nightmare. When Enoch's hand is inside a container (such as: pockets, backpacks, satchels, etc) or is caught inbetween two objects causing it to be concealed (example: between his torso and shirt, between the pages of a book, between a handkerchief and a table, etc) He can access an extradimensional inventory space and pull out different weapons or tools, depending on the situation.

Bu Fang offers up a nice meal. Using it to lead a conversation, the meal relaxes the targets mind, so much that they start spilling their secrets without knowing. They don't even realize as they chat, Bu Fang leading them on in the conversation.
Edit: Another good power, though the Concealed is broken - you have to pick something that the person would notice as unusual. It has Conversationalist, so you can't double dip by saying the only Tell is "casual conversation." Has been changed to "leading questions" to reflect this.
