1: Yes, it would!

2: That Malion was the last Protector, and that he was either tyrannical enough or clumsy enough to inspire a rebellion that took him down ! With no actual records, stories vary wildly.

3. It's more of an assumption: Nation Eaters did not show up until the Protectorate began to crumble. Even then, the Overmind helped in things like swift and orderly evacuations. Whether large-scale psi-weapons could keep a Nation Eater dormant or kill one, you do not know. But certainly nothing SHORT of that works.

Another plot skill question! Kind of. Multiple in one.

Is it a permanent passive skill, or does it need to be consciously activated? (I've been playing it as permanent passive, but I wanted to double check.)

Would Taste for Glory work alongside any of the following:
- True Bond (noted as similar to kything)
- Color Magic, esp. spells that tap into people's psyche
- The Changeling contract Witches' Intuition: The character dredges knowledge of one fear from the subject’s mind or subconscious.
- Harvesting Glamour - non-invasively taking emotional energy from a subject, does not affect how deeply the target actually feels that emotion.
- Favor Skills

Permanent Passive! It could be suppressed if he wanted.

I think yes to the first three, no to the fourth; depends on the Favor Skill for the fifth but I would need a non-flu brain to catalog which were which.

Marked Concert, Marked Resonance, Marked Synchronization. The other skills are too surface-level.

Archetype and Aura skills, even those that influence the mind, do so through strengthening, weakening, or revealing an archetypal affinity, not invasive psychic contact.

Does it still ping when someone else establishes a connection with him, or does he have to be the activator?

In anything mutual, he does not have to be the establisher. In a "reaving" or color spell type situation, being on the receiving end would not grant him any insight, although it's simple enough to reave BACK and get it.
