This isn't normally just a ridiculous piece of ornate jewelry. It's a totem, from the Zambezi tribes in Africa. The person who wields it normally can manipulate the air around them to varying degrees. My brother was the first totem bearer, but when he died, I didn't want to let ARGUS keep it, and it ... chose me next.
