John Putnam

John Putnam was a member of the Putnam family, the banished fifth family of the Covenant.

History
John Putnam was a member of the fifth family in the Covenant. However, whereas the other four families used their powers as little as possible to avoid being persecuted by the people and to avoid becoming addicted to using their powers unnecessarily, it is likely that John used his as often as possible, resulting in his family and himself being persecuted by the Ipswich colonies. One of the known people that brought charges against John and his family was a woman named Goody Pope, who claimed that he visited her as an incubus in her dreams after her husband died. Prior to his death, John had fathered a child with Goody Pope, ensuring that the fifth bloodline of the Covenant didn't die with him and his immediate family.
