Initial Contact

Hey there, Character. Happy to be talking to you at the moment, especially sans any beatings.

The name is Mr. Rodney, and I'm a representative of King Midas, head of the Goldbrickers.

Now, I know perhaps you and our fine organization haven't gotten along in the past, but, well, let's just consider the past the past, right?

King Midas wishes to extend a gesture of good will towards you in the form of me helping you get what you need. And I think I've got an idea of what we can do to help you out, so why don't we get started?

Missions

Cape Mission (Level 20-50)

Briefing

One of the things that King Midas wishes to help you out with is your image, Character. No offense, of course.

A sign to other villains and heroes that you're a big bad around here is if you've got a cape.

One of the traditional ways folks around here get their capes is by beating the snot out of a hero and stealing theirs. A rite of passage, you could say.

I know of a way that you can find yourself a hero, and a cape, if you want to elevate your social status around here in the Isles.

  • Tell me how to find this hero.

Well, first, you'll need to get yourself to Paragon City. There are a few ways to go about this, but King Midas is willing to provide you with a specific way, mainly through the Family in Sharkhead.

He's put in a good word for you to some of the powers that be there. You should go talk to Lorenz Ansaldo in Sharkhead Isle. He'll be able to help you get into Paragon, but you may have to help him out with any problems he might have.

Speak with Lorenz Ansaldo

Unnecessary Solicitation

Lorenz is part of the Family. They're experts at smuggling people and goods to and from the mainland.

  • Speak with Lorenz Ansaldo

Briefing

You need passage to Paragon City? Yah, I can hook you up. I got an arrangement going with the Goldbrickers to handle any 'special deliveries' they might have between the Rogue Isles and the mainland. But that don't mean there ain't no price...

We got a lot of them Longbow agents snoopin' around the docks here lookin' for contraband. I was planning on getting a few of my boys ready to beat some sense into them, but then you happen to show up! Take down all the Longbow agents snoopin' around our warehouse here at the docks and destroy any crates of contraband they may have found.
