Its ability to create vortexes to pull people away from where they are coupled with his ability to create a gravity distortion to prevent escape makes it well suited to this task. It will often do this for personal gain and not for any financial reasons, thats just a secondary objective it uses to help support the order. The intentional targets of Gray Abductor are usually returned unharmed, for a price. The Random victims are often found days alter a complete vegetable.
