Overview
The Banished Pantheon are a villain group in City of Heroes. The Banished Pantheon are a cult that followed Ancient Gods that were banished many centuries ago. They are extremely misanthropic, and despise most anything living apart from those within their ranks. For this purpose, they are not a group many wish to make alliances with, unfortunately they have gained allies through the resurection of the dead, creating vast armies of willing zombie slaves. The Pantheon worship evil corrupt spirits that inhabit masks and totems as their vessels, these spirits are demented and possibly insane by human standards, caring little about what happens to anything or anyone as long as they can fulfill their malicious desires. They are the leaders of the Pantheon, and hold dominion over hunderds of human servants, and thousands of undead minions with which they spread their revolting grip, trying desperately to bring back their banished Gods.
The human, living servants are just as perverted as their spectral masters, taking pleasure in killing anything and anyone, using deadly elemental powers and necromancy to accomplish this goal. They can be found around spirits, worshipping and protecting them as best that they can.
Their zombie hordes are nothing to laugh at either, using the weapons of American revolutionaries, civil war, and world war casualities, these walking husks boast considerable fire power in numbers, which they are rarely not seen in. They are the true undead, seemingyl feeble and slow, they are actually quite fast on their decrypted feet, and can strike heroes and villains with surprising force. The glowing symbol on their chests seem to be the source of their resurection, or at least what allows them to be controlled, for the living members of the Pantheon also bear these strange glowing markings.
