Overview

Sharkhead Isle is one of the city zones in City of Villains. Dominated by The Pit - a huge mining operation - in the southern center of the island, and Port Recluse in the northeast, Sharkhead is heavy on industry. East of The Pit is Villa Requin, and west is Potter's Field cemetery where the Ghost of Scrapyard emerges and the Circle of Thorns hold dominion. Northwest of The Pit is the Hellforge, and north of that is The Crush, almost totally gone to the Freakshow.

Arbiter Friesen trains villains in Port Recluse. Sharkhead's Brokers are Kara the Scorpion, east of the Vault Reserve in Port Recluse, and Mickey the Filch, northeast of the Ferry in Port Recluse.

Exploration Badges

Razor Toothed This is the spot where Mako paraded Scrapyard's body after he eviscerated him. Many of the locals have seen his ghost in this area.

Forged by Hellfire The Hell Forge is the largest above ground furnace on the planet.

Freak of Nature The Freakshow have managed to find utopia in this forsaken slag heap.

Pit Viper This hole is used by the locals as a makeshift arena for fighting and wagering.

Sky Chaser The Sky Raiders use this as one of their main bases. Some say that they received funding from Arachnos to build the base in Sharkhead, perhaps to serve as a balance against the Council base nearby.

Unwelcome Guest This Council base has managed to maintain its foothold within Sharkhead despite numerous attacks from several groups. These days, the biggest threats are the 5th Column raids and exposing sleeper agents among Council ranks.

Sky Trader The Family's mansion in Villa Requin has played host to many higher ranking officials within the Sky Raiders. There are rumors that the two groups plot a potential take over of Sharkhead Isle within this mansion.

Carping the Diem The Carpe Diem is the Family's 'flagship' for various overseas deals that they make. The ship is periodically grounded to deal with troublesome Scrapyarders.

Thrill Seeker You're always looking for new forms of entertainment, and it's said that the Mission Architect technology is entertainment in its purest form.

Plaques

• Arachnos Rising I - In an inside corner on the outside of a building Coordinates (762.6, 32, -374)

Lorekeeper You have learned much that is hidden from the eyes of mortal men.

• Lorekeeper IV - This monument is located in the South-East corner of a parking lot Coordinates (-831.6 0, -403.3)

Mortician Your time spent studying death itself has earned you the Mortician Day Job. Logging out in a graveyard will earn you protection against Experience Debt, when you log back in, for a short time.

Villain-Specific

Pain Specialist Your expertise in surgery and understanding pain has earned you the Pain Specialist Day Job. Logging out in a Hospital will earn you a Regeneration Bonus, when you log back in, for a short time.

Thief Your time spent staging heists on the various financial institutions of the Rogue Isles has earned you the Thief Day Job. Logging out in a Vault will earn you an Infamy Bonus, when you log back in, each time you complete a mission for a short time.

Marketeer Your time spent supplying the Black Market has earned you the Marketeer Day Job. Logging out near a Black Market will grant you a power that will allow you to teleport to a Black Market of your choice, when you log back in.

Grounded Arachnos is more likely to pound you into dust than let you near one of their fliers. And your license is no good in Paragon City, it seems.

Cannon Fodder There's no resigning from Arachnos, but you appear to have done just that. Good luck.
