Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Cleave Reality
"Transformation is a technique that only the strongest warriors can achieve. You must be getting stronger every day." *Thumbs-up*
"...Trust in me, my kin... I may appear off-putting, but the power of the universe resides within me! Gaze upon the true form of divinity! Though you understand the truth, there others who fear- who HATE the nature of reality... For them, I will hide... But not for long!..."

Shed my skin
That old face was a little constricting anyway.
Sal scratches a bit at the skin of his face, pulling back enough to give him something to peel. Then he peels his face off, shedding his skin like a snake.
Among the gifts of the Ouroboros is that of rebirth, choosing a new self, and new future. Sal can shed his skin, and for a short while be reborn.
This is a continuation of his body shifting. Becoming more snake like. As part of this, his ears have shifted. The flaps on the outside are just appearance. His real ears are internal, like those of a snake. This has resulted in worse hearing.
