Gus Wilson was a building inspector for the city of Greenville, TX until he discovered that he was also an anomaly. Tired of dealing with irresponsible and recalcitrant contractors, departmental politics, and the constant scrimping and saving that came with his undersized government paycheck, he turned to robbing banks instead. To do this, he uses the simplest and most direct of his powers: the ability to put other people to sleep by an act of will. 

With everyone in the building unconscious, he simply walks in, empties the registers, and leaves. With gloves and a ski mask, he's able to avoid identification by video footage and other security measures. Victims of his power report restful sleep and pleasant dreams, which are also a result of his influence. He's quite capable of producing nightmares instead, but chooses not to. 

A couple of jobs back, he happened to hit a bank where one of the patrons had telepathic defenses strong enough to resist his power; as a result, Gus has now caught the attention of a mob boss in Dallas who would very much like to recruit him. 

Gus' other abilities are dream-based: he can influence the nature of someone's dreams, enter them himself, or even travel through dreams to emerge elsewhere -- though his one experience with the latter suggests that it's extremely dangerous, so he saves that for serious emergencies.
