Killer Concept: The Wendigo

I know this is a bit out there, and the Hag already exists, but we have both Leatherface and Hillbilly, so it isn't impossible, I suppose.

Killer: The Wendigo
Focused on manipulating the trust of survivors in themselves and their teammates

Weapon: Teeth

Power: Insatiable Affliction
Use M2 to cycle through your three afflictions.

1:Use your power on a generator with Echoes equipped to create a clone of a random survivor in the trial. It will look as though they are actively working on a generator. If a survivor approaches the echo, it will disorient them, and prevent gen progression for 5 seconds. The Wendigo will gain a sound notification. Has a set duration of 15 seconds, then the echo harmlessly dissapears. The Wendigo can see the aura of echoes. Only 2 echoes can be summoned at a time.

2: Tag a survivor to reveal auras in a field around them. Any survivors within this field will be revealed to the Wendigo, has a set duration of 10 seconds, then the aura is cut off from The Wendigo's sight. Cooldown of 30 seconds

3: Tag a survivor to induce paranoia. When you are near, the heartbeat is erratic, ranging from very far to extremely close. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Perks: (still working on them)
Ever Yearning: Upon hitting a survivor, you gain a slight/moderate/considerable increase in power effectiveness. Effects are active until the hit survivor is hooked, then the effect resets.

Harbinger: At 5/4/3 Gens done, Each survivor gains a random status effect, (Except Exposed) Until another gen is done, or they are hooked

From Beyond: Gain an increase in Aura reading range by 3/6/9 meters.

I know it's very complex, constructive feedback is appreciated.

    Isn't the Hag already a Wendigo though?

    One question. When you put the echo on the gen they last for 15 seconds or when the survivor gets close to it does the timer start?

    I like all of the powers, but I think they're too weak. They don't provide much gen pressure, mobility, or utility in ending a chase. Even if the killer had all of these abilities at once, I don't think they could put as much pressure on survivors as they'd need to.

    Harbinger might be underpowered as well, especially since it'll only go off once per match and the killer presumably wouldn't know what he survivors are afflicted with.

    Can you explain what you mean by "power effectiveness" when it comes to Ever Yearning?

    Here'e something the other haven't said, From Beyond will only effect Bitter Murmur because it's only Killer Aura perk that has a range, all other perks have seconds. So maybe change it to add an additional 3 seconds and something else for each tier?
