An entity in Priscilla's employ who is sent to investigate the Hunters and from there those closest to them. He doesn't do much aside from information gathering but they notice and try to go after him they get completely fucked over by everything coming after them to stop the pursuit until he vanishes.
For instances, stationary objects will spontaneously fly into them at impossible velocities or it forces uncharacteristic or improbable accidents on its victims.
He shows up again when they're trapped in Priscilla's home and adds to the chaotic Haunted House feel of the story.
Regarding limitations, while Mr. Omen is scarily powerful, it does have weaknesses and limitations if you know how to manipulate it.
1: His attacks are triggered by intent, so getting distracted by a different urgent matter will prevent his attacks.
2: His power protects him from pursuit, but this won't protect him if he's the one going to where his target is.
3: Someone who isn't moving isn't pursuing anything, so the attack can be avoided just by staying still.

4: Third parties who don't intend any pursuit can interfere with his powers, such as transporting an injured person away.
5: His power is entirely defensive in nature, if he is the one attacking the power will not trigger as self-defense isn't pursuit.
6: The magic is effect against one assailant at a time unless pursued in a group. If someone makes an active attempt to pursue, that person becomes the first in its "kill order" allowing others to retreat or change tactics.

7: However, in spite of these loopholes, actually hurting him is extremely tricky. Conventional tactics and attacks will backfire on them, either the attack itself or something else going wrong and preventing the attack. Therefore, the best way to attack it is to use something that is unaffected by causality or with someone who is utilizing luck and fortune on their side.
8: Perhaps its main weakness is that despite being absolute in defense, it is very limited for offense, having to rely on traps, intimidation, manipulation or sneak attacks. Hence his focus on tricking his targets into pursuing him.
