The undead especially offend his sense of smell and are easiest to track, even days after they have passed through a location.

Ghost Touch: Since cu sith are associated with shepherding spirits, Lachlan is able to treat ghosts as if they are tangible spirits with a form, thus able to affect, grasp, and relocate them. Any spiritual creature he encounters is treated as a normal being of substance. This is a lasting effect with no set duration.

Ghost Form: He can become incorporeal for short amounts of time to phase through walls and solid substances, much like the ghosts that he deals with.

Sonic Bark: Lachlan's howls, should he so choose, can be heard for miles if directed at the sky. Equally devastating are his barks which hit with the force of a giant swinging a sledgehammer.

Magical Essence: Some people use magic. The fae are magic, and as such, Lachlan has a natural resistance to spells and magical gifts used against him, though he is far from immune to them all.
