The fictional Dr. Mabuse is a master of disguise and telepathic hypnosis known to employ body transference, most often through demonic possession, but sometimes utilising object technologies such as television or phonograph machines, to build a 'society of crime'. Mabuse rarely commits his crimes in person, instead operating primarily through a network of agents enacting his schemes, therefore remaining an illusive shadowy figure.
