Dean MacArthur is a man who doesn't exactly look like he belongs in the Rogue Isles.

In Leonard Silmon's arc, if you find information on Dean in the PPD's files, you will discover that he was a member of the PPD, and is wanted for murder. When asked, he reveals that his father was murdered, but the killer got away with it due to a legal loophole. Dean killed his father's murderer, and fled to the Rogue Isles.

What's up babe! Look, me, I'm not a guy who splits hairs, but I gotta in this situation. What I wanna do is way too small time for you, I'm even kinda nervous just ''thinking'' about asking you to do this stuff. You got bigger fish to fry beautiful!}}

A man named Dean MacArthur is rumored to be looking for you in Sharkhead Isle. People have overheard him saying that he wants to help out 'a beautiful flower like {{Character}}.'

:Now me, I think that information could be used against folks. You name 'em, Cage, Longbow, Wyvern, Legacy Chain, ''PPD'', the works.

::Look babe, I know how it goes around here. If these guys could protect anyone, they woulda gained control of the Isles.

::Those 'heroes' in Paragon, they got it all wrong. Someone's gotta shove 'em off their high horse. Enforcin' laws then lookin' the other way when them same laws destroy a person's life.

:::Let's see...a few beautiful roses...some champagne...tickets for two to a play in St. Martial.

{{MeritAward|5}}

 

{{orange|Merit total is for flashback.  Need to verify merit total for running normally.}}

It all began when you met Dean MacArthur, a man who supposedly was a good source of information. He told you that Ajax, a survivor from the Omega Team, was on a rampage in the Isles, tearing up any super powered beings who were operating within it. It was also rumored that Ajax's invulnerability was fading after all these years. You and Dean set up a plan to ambush Ajax during a jewelry store robbery. While you were there, you ran into a clone of yourself, who quickly ran away. Adding to your problems even more, Ajax turned out to still be completely invulnerable!

You weren't too interested in tracking down Ajax - the clone of yourself was far more of a problem. Dean put in some calls to his friends and tracked down where your clone ran off to. Dean also mentioned a party interested in taking Ajax off of your hands. You followed the clone, stumbling into a cloning facility run by the 5th Column! All the major factions in Sharkhead were battling it out within the factory, trying to either destroy the facility or take it for themselves. You fought your way to the bottom of the facility and destroyed your clone, then took direct control over operations. It would just be a matter of finding the right resources to get this place up and running.

That's where Crey would come in. Dean's friend in Wyvern tipped him off to a raid they were doing on a Crey office in Sharkhead. You broke up the raid and recruited three Crey scientists to your cause. You also found some interesting information about Project Revenant and a method to disable supers who were completely invulnerable. All of this could be used to get your facility up and running and to put down Ajax, once and for all.

Dean arranged everything that you needed. The Sky Raiders provided the psionic devices to put down Ajax, and Dean tricked Ajax into searching for you in Nerva. You arrived at Nerva with a clone of yours - flawed, but still somewhat useful - to deal with Ajax. Wyvern came prepared to back up Ajax, disabling the trigger for your device, but that didn't stop you from manually using them to assault Ajax's mind with intense psionic powers. Ajax, the hero attempting to reform the Rogue Isles, fell that day in Nerva. You tagged him with a device given to Dean by your mutual friend, who promised to keep Ajax out of your hair.

When you returned to Dean, you asked him who exactly took Ajax away. Dean admitted that he didn't know the man's name. He was only given a letter, which he had been told to give to you. There was no name on the letter, but it was written as if this person knew you. He spoke of time travel, a group called 'Ouroboros', a man named 'Mender Silos', and of a storm on the horizon.

Hey babe, you wanted info? I GOT you some info. So check this juicy stuff out.

There's this hero, goes by the name of '''{{color|gold|Ajax}}'''. Guy was the last surviving member of the '''{{color|gold|Omega Team}}'''. Crazy stuff right? [[Omega Team]], they're the guys that went on that suicide mission to stop the Rikti in the first [[Rikti War]].

So this guy, [[Ajax]], yeah? Totally starts getting all depressed that he's the last one left on the team, the whole, 'Boo hoo, I watched all my friends die, it's all my fault.' Now I'm a sensitive guy, if you're into that, but this guy was a wimp on an epic scale.

Turns out Ajax was just a thug who killed the REAL Ajax and somehow got his powers of invulnerability! Man, if that's not juicy, I don't know what is. Can you believe all that?}}

So, this news spills out that Ajax is a good for nothing thug, yeah? {{Orange|'''PPD put out a warrant for his arrest in Paragon'''}}, but Ajax, he's smart, he hops over to chill in the Isles.

Me though, I think his invulnerability can't still be all that. Gotta be all rusted and stuff by now, you dig?

Hey beautiful, how'd it go with taking down that Ajax guy? Is he out for the count?

Whoah, ''totally'' invulnerable? STILL?

Ah...man, I thought that magic wore off by now! Geez, I feel awful about that.

Let me make it up to you huh? How about a nice romantic dinner for two later?

But we've got a problem to handle huh? Let's see...I mean, there's gotta be something we can do about a guy who's totally invulnerable...maybe tie him down?

...oh! Right!

Yeah. Oh man, totally, that's a problem. For sure! Two of you walking around, going against each other, ...hold on. Need to imagine two of you first. ...okay. What? Okay, okay.

Yeah, I can see how this can be a problem.

Oh, yeah. Yeah! For sure. It's you and D-Mac on this, all the way!

So okay, this clone of yours, what did she look like?

H-haha, just kidding! Little...you know, just a little humor there.

Let me do some digging, see what I can find out, yeah?

::::You are no doubt wondering what has happened to Ajax. I assure you that you have not been double-crossed - I respect you far too much to do something as banal as 'lie' to you. Yes, I used you to get to Ajax, much like you used Dean to get what you wanted. However, both of us have benefited from this, as Ajax is now where he needs to be.

::::There is a storm on the horizon - one that you are either all too familiar with, or one that you will soon come to know. I am gathering a team of sorts to deal with this - properly.

::::Mender Silos of Ouroboros has his followers who do his dirty work for him. Ajax shall be one of the few who will be on my team I do not use the term 'follower', as that implies I believe myself to be higher than those who aid me - much like Mender Silos does.

::::The time is coming soon when sides must be taken, Character. I would ask that you choose to side with myself when that day arrives. Silos will use you for his own ends - I, however, will do everything I can to work with you, to aid you.
