This is basically a question about the specifics of the Mentor background- I'm really not sure what it means by "some note" or "exceedingly important" in the context of, y'know, someone who's badass enough to be training a Solar.
The precise character concept that's spawned this question is a Twilight Caste necromancer and Hungry Ghost Style martial artist- the idea is that he's learnt the necromancy and the martial arts from a First Age Solar's ghost (it takes a little creative interpretation, but a Solar-turned-Abyssal can still teach Solar Circle Sorcery, so it makes sense that a ghost can teach the necromancy it knew in life, but not use it). That, then, is the specific case of the general question I'd like answering: how many Mentor dots is a First Age Twilight Caste's ghost worth? My guess was three ("wise, influential and significantly more powerful than your character"- very wise, not very influential, powerful and knows a lot of Solar Charms and Necromancy... but can't use them. Oh, and insane, probably), but I'd like your opinion on that if possible.
EDIT: I should mention that I don't have whichever book the ghost rules are in, so I may have made a spectacular mistake in there somewhere.
