The ability can be used to finely control the movements of people, paralysing them and forcing them to do one's will. It can also prevent someone from using an ability or force someone to do so, if there is movement usually associated with their ability. Most characters prefer to use gestures to control these people, but this isn't completely necessary. Several people can be controlled at once, and no line of vision is necessary to maintain control. It is also possible to manipulate the motor functions of machines and moveable objects, but this tends to be used more rarely.

- Puppetry is one of the thirteen primary Arcanoi from Wraith: The Oblivion. Those who master Puppetry can control the bodies of the Quick. Puppeteers are usually responsible for the classic possessions of history. If someone is behaving in a strange fashion, a Puppeteer is likely behind it, Skinriding the person and bending them to their will. However, this possession is not usually as all-encompassing as a Puppeteer would like it to be. Most Puppeteers can only manage small changes or suggestions to a host. It is the more powerful Puppeteers that those still living should fear, as they can completely control a person or even destroy the soul and ride the body alone.

- Puppetry is one of the thirteen primary Arcanoi from Wraith: The Oblivion. Those who master Puppetry can control the bodies of the Quick. Puppeteers are usually responsible for the classic possessions of history. If someone is behaving in a strange fashion, a Puppeteer is likely behind it, Skinriding the person and bending them to their will. However, this possession is not usually as all-encompassing as a Puppeteer would like it to be. Most Puppeteers can only manage small changes or suggestions to a host. It is the more powerful Puppeteers that those still living should fear, as they can completely control a person or even destroy the soul and ride the body alone. In order to use any of the arts of Puppetry, a Puppeteer must always Skinride their potential host first. After this, they may do what they have the power to do, but this first step must always be taken, no matter how powerful the Puppeteer is. More experienced Puppeteers will, in all probability, have an easier time Skinriding and working on a host faster. Only one wraith may possess a mortal at a time; any wraith who wishes to boot one already there must have a battle of will with them. Puppetry is said to be the art that Charon forbade the most (excepting the three Forbidden Arcanoi). Only he, Deathlords, and higher members of the Hierarchy were permitted to Skinride mortals, and only then on a strictly limited basis. Despite the prohibited nature of Puppetry, some wraiths risk it anyway. Some want to feel the sensations of life they can’t get through Embody. Others see it as part of a religious experience, the Riders of the Wheel being one strong example. At any rate, any Puppeteer not involved with the Hierarchy had best use this art wisely and infrequently. Puppeteers frequently become trapped in their hosts if something goes wrong with Puppetry. Other problems include their hosts doing things the Puppeteer did not intend; really messing this up can mean a host will even do the opposite.

JFK, his brother Robert and other members of the Kennedy clan were involved in multiple relationships, dubious connections and so on, which only became evident to the public many years later. In this timeline the assassination does not occur - but various groups attempt to exert influence the President by threatening to leak details of his activities to the general public. These can include, but are not limited to, the following:
* The military - for various reasons, including defence cuts, activities in Vietnam and nearby countries, 'standing up to the Soviets' (Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis etc) and so on.
* The Mafia, attempting to deflect probes into their activities etc.
* J Edgar Hoover who could have been retired on age grounds (and possibily health grounds).
* Possibly the Teamsters and other unions that Robert Kennedy had previously taken action against. These (and other) groups exert increasing and conflicting pressures on the President who is expected to pursue mutually contradictory goals. While this process is a normal component of government, the potential negative consequences in this case are far higher. JFK has few allies to counter the groups who wish to treat him as their puppet, whether in the US or elsewhere. If he decides to go for re-election he has to risk details of his private life being leaked (possibly by 'someone in the know' deciding to do so of their own accord), and attempting to satisfy those who would control him - or possibly attempt to play the various sides off against each other.
