Information

Former Heroine

In the early days of the Statesman's costumed career, he worked with a woman called Madame Danger. Maria Jenkins, as she called in her other identity, was his closest friend and confidant for many years. Slowly her powers began to fade with time but she was aging quite slowly. When she met Statesman in the 1930's she appeared to be in her mid twenties. Although she is retired, Maria certainly does not look over a hundred years of age. Maria has been out of the limelight for some time, but was one of the first to realize that Statesman was missing. This frightening conclusion has caused her to become more actively involved in things.

Prior to Introduction

I think you should still be speaking with Active Contact.

Initial Contact

Well hello there. You must be Character. I have been hearing a lot about you. If anyone can help me with the problems I am trying to solve, I am sure it will be you.

Greeting

• I am glad to see that you don't have any quit in you, Character.
• This is a difficult time for us all.
• We must find a way to persevere.

Too Busy

I think you have some other things to take care of first.

That's all I have for you. Thank you so much for your help.

Badge Mission

Wipe out Marauder's Cell

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 2 Reward Merits through Flashback only.

Briefing

Hold onto your hat. I've got a lead on a Praetorian incursion into Paragon City itself. It seems that Marauder has set up a miltary base over on Peregrine Island! I don't have to tell you that there are a lot of valuable military targets on that island. Nor do I have to tell you how quickly this situation could become deadly. You've got to get to Peregrine Island and wipe out Marauder's cell.

Mission Acceptance

It may be that Marauder has a stable portal back to his home world. If so, you'll need to destroy it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Marauder's infiltration cell is the single greatest threat to Paragon City security.

Mission Objective(s)

Scruff marks on the floor testify to lots of recent activity.

• Defeat all villains in base
  • Destroy the portal!

You have dispersed Marauder's cell.

Notable NPCs

• Marauder (Archvillain)

Enemies

Praetorians

Marauder dialogue

Before combat: "Serve Tyrant or die!"
Combat start: "For Tyrant!"

Badge

Completion of this mission earns a hero the Agent accomplishment badge.

Agent You wiped out a cell of Marauder's forces right here in Paragon City.

Debriefing

From what I've heard, Marauder is the most dedicated of Tyrant's lackeys. It's disturbing that he found his way into Paragon City and went so far as to set up a base. I've asked Portal Corporation to keep a tighter lock on any unauthorized portal activity. In the meantime, I hope you'll be prepared to help me defend Paragon City from any future invasions.

Disrupt Nightstar's ritual

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 1 Reward Merit through Flashback only.

Briefing

Are you familiar with the Praetorian villain who calls herself Nightstar? I've heard some strange things about her. She's an intelligent robot, like Siege, but the difference is that she seems to be a little bit crazy. She believes that her power comes from a galaxy contained within her robotic armor. Every month, she goes out under the night sky to commune with the stars. If you could disrupt her ritual, her minions might start to doubt her. Even more importantly, she might start to doubt herself.

Mission Acceptance

You'll want to check the rooftops for Nightstar and her minions. That's where they can usually be found.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Missing text

Mission Objective(s)

The night sky lends a strange peacefulness to Praetorian Earth.

• Disrupt the ritual
  • Defeat Nightstar & her guards

You defeated Nightstar.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Nightstar (Archvillain)

Spending time in this zone earns heroes and vigilantes the Shrouded Badge.

Shrouded This otherworld has been overshadowed by corrupting magic.

Spending time in this zone earns villains and rogues the Shady Badge.

Shady A trip back to Paragon City confirmed it: You're the shady type of person other people are right to be afraid of.

Debriefing

So, Nightstar really believes that she possesses the power of a galaxy. Well, I guess for all I know, it could be true. After all, there are more things in Paragon City than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Character. True or not, Nightstar will be licking her wounds for a time. You've weakened a big threat, my friend; you should be proud.

Story Arc

A Hero's Epic

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 21 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Bug! At this time it seems the souvenir for this arc is not awarding correctly

Part One: Fix the scanner

By now you know, Praetoria and it's tyrannical Emperor Cole is the single greatest threat to our dimension. Portal Corporation and Vanguard have been doing everything they can to combat that threat. Several heroes, including yourself, have been instrumental in the capture and containment of several of the Praetorian Guard: Anti-Matter, Neuron, Marauder, Nightstar, Battle Maiden, the list goes on and on. Unfortunately these villains can not be contained in a facility such as the Zig, as they have the resources of an entire dimension at their disposal. It seems that several powerful Loyalist members have taken the opportunity to break the Praetorian Guard out of prison and take them back to their home dimension.

This is unfortunate, but not completely unexpected. I had hoped we could keep them contained at least a little while longer.

A few weeks ago, Tina Macintyre had set up Dimensional Scanners in the forests of Praetoria, and these have been a godsend in our efforts. Vanguard has even been able to piggy-back communication intercept software onto those scanners, so we are getting a good idea on troop movements as well as the current political structure of Praetoria. However, one of those scanners has gone off-line and we need someone powerful to return to Praetoria and repair or replace it. Can you do this for us, Character?

• Fix the scanner

Just like last time, that place is crawling with Devouring Earth.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need to know the status of that data scanner.

Mission Objective(s)

You are unsure which trees are trees, and which trees want to kill you.

• Repair or replace the scanner
  • Set up the Scanner
    
  • Defeat Chimera

You found the data scanner.

Enemies

Devouring Earth

Notable NPCs

• Chimera (Archvillain)

Chimera dialogue

Before Combat

Those primals think they can watch us? They have another thing coming!

Combat Start

Oh, are you here to see what happened to your little scanner?

Debriefing

So Chimera found one of our scanners? That is unfortunate. I wonder if he had time to tell the other Praetorians about it. Vanguard didn't pick up any such comminique, but Chimera has some undetectable communication methods.

Part Two: Check on the scanners

Damn, it looks like Chimera was able to get a signal off before you defeated him. All the scanners in Praetoria just died. We need to send you back to that forest and see what happened. It might be a jammer, or it might be that they destroyed them all.

If Emperor Cole is planning something big, we can't be blindsided. If the scanners are being jammed, find the source and unjam it. If they are destroyed or disabled, finish the job so they don't get their hands on any tech they might have left behind.

• Check on the scanners

I'd say those scanners are more trouble than they were worth, but they've kept us aprised of the situation in Praetoria for weeks.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We still don't know what's going on why all those data scanners went dead. Character, go find out!

Mission Objective(s)

No signs of any jamming signals. Looks like the scanners themselves have been compromised. Destroy them all.

• Check on the Dimensional Scanners
  • Destroy the scanners! (Four scanners to destroy)

With the scanners destroyed, the Praetorians will not be able to reverse engineer them. One scanner could not be located however, it was simply... gone.

Enemies

Devouring Earth

	A scanner is missing
	There were five scanners in Praetoria, but only four could be located and destroyed. One of them is missing.

Debriefing

One scanner was missing? It's bound to show up sooner or later, and we'll have to deal with it. I hate the fact that we are blind to Praetoria right about now.

Part Three: Go to Praetoria and destroy the stolen scanner

Briefing

It seems that the lone scanner we couldn't locate just started transmitting again, only it's not in the forest, it's in Underground Praetoria. Looks like the militant arm of the Resistance has the scanner and are trying to figure out what to do with it. Of course, if the Praetorian Guard know this too, they'll send some of their best operatives to retrieve it from the Resistance. I need you to go and destroy that scanner, we can't let it fall into either group's hands.

• Go to Praetoria and destroy the stolen scanner

Those scanners were built with state of the art technology. There's no telling what the Praetorians can learn from it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We can not let that scanner fall into enemy hands!

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Praetorians, destroy stolen scanner
  • Defeat Nightstar
    
  • Destroy the Scanner

You have destroyed the Scanner that was stolen by the Resistance and defeated Nightstar.

Enemies

Resistance
Warworks

Notable NPCs

• Nightstar (Archvillain)

Nightstar dialogue

Before Combat

Siege wants that scanner! Recover it!

Combat Start

I have more than enough power to deal with you!

Random BCU (Warworks) dialogue

BCU: %#page error# Drink Enriche! It has what Resistance craves! &&

---

BCU: Embrace Emperor Cole's ideals!

---

Debriefing

Excellent. We've destroyed all the scanners we've deployed to Praetoria. That is a huge relief. We had some tech in there that would be extremely dangerous in the hands of Neuron or Anti-Matter.

Part Four: Destroy all evidence of Vanguard's software

Briefing

Looks like I spoke too soon. Even though you destroyed all the scanners on Praetoria, Neuron got his hands on Vanguard's communication software. That's got a collapsing algorithm that he can use to piggy-back on our communications channels like we were doing to theirs, and that's not good. We need to get to Neuron's mainframe and remove all traces of that software. Vanguard is willing to offer up one of their best, Serpent Drummer, to assist in this mission. I am getting the coordinates to Neuron's lab now.

• Destroy all evidence of Vanguard's software

In Neuron's hands, that software is extremely dangerous. Purge every copy you can find.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Every second you waste is a day of research to a speedster like Neuron.

Delete Vanguard's Software

Mission Objective(s)

You hear a sound that strangely resembles a purr.

• Purge Software
  • Delete Vanguard's Software
    
  • Delete Backup File
    
  • Delete Secondary Backup File
    
  • Defeat Bobcat

You defeated Bobcat and deleted the data.

Enemies

Neuron's Clockwork

Notable NPCs

• Serpent Drummer (Vanguard Shield, Hero, Ally)
• Bobcat (Archvillain)

	Bobcat's final words
	Bobcat mentioned that Praetor Berry, aka Neuron, was already using parts of Vanguard's code to get what he needs. You have no idea what that is though.

Serpent Drummer, Bobcat dialogue

Serpent Drummer at Mission Start:

Over here, Character.

The calm waters are most disturbing. Let us find what lies beneath the surface together.

---

Bobcat & Serpent Drummer: Before Combat

Bobcat: Yes Praetor Berry, I will ensure that the software remains safe.

During Combat:

Bobcat: Oh, Kleon! I was hoping you'd show up.

Bobcat: Lets get this party started!

Bobcat: Oh, I see you like it rough?

Bobcat: I see this kitten has some claws!

Bobcat: You'll pay for that one!

Defeated:

Bobcat: You can't stop Praetor Berry! He is already getting what he needs from that software!

Serpent Drummer: I wonder if Neuron was further ahead than we thought? We should go see Tina Macintyre to and see if she has any ideas on what your next move might be.

Go to Tina Macintyre with the information you have

Mission Objective(s)

• Go to Tina Macintyre with the information you have

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina helped Vanguard put that software on those scanners, go talk to her.

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

Bobcat mentioned that Neuron was already using the software? Hmm, our communication channels might already be compromised. If I were you I'd portal directly into Neuron's HQ and stop whatever insane plan he has cooked up. We don't have time to piece together exactly what he might be doing. I am going to call Maria Jenkins and see if she'll send one of her personal friends along to help.

Defeat Neuron, purge software

Mission Objective(s)

The sweat on the back of your neck chills you as you step into the climate-controlled lab.

• Defeat Neuron, purge software
  • Delete Vanguard's Software,
    
  • Defeat Neuron

You defeated Neuron but learn that Emperor Cole already has some plan underway.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need to know what Neuron is playing at!

Enemies

Notable NPCs

• Statesman (Freedom Phalanx, Hero, Ally)
• Neuron (Archvillain)

• Neuron (Archvillain)

	Neuron's final words
	Neuron mentioned that his plan was already underway. Whatever he's up to, you are one step behind.

Statesman, Neuron dialogue

Statesman at Mission Start:

Maria told me you'd need a hand with this one.

I've been watching you Character, and I'm am happy to lend you a hand in this matter.

---

Neuron and Statesman:
Before Combat:

Neuron: I hope this plan of Emperor Cole's will work.

During Combat:

Neuron: Looks like phase one is already underway!

Neuron: You think you are faster than me?!

Neuron: Nice try, Kleon.

Neuron: I won't lose to you again!!

Neuron: This time will be different!

---

Defeated:

Neuron: Even with my defeat, you can not win! The plan is already underway!

Statesman: The plan is already underway? What is that supposed to mean? Let's finish up here and get you back to Maria Jenkins A.S.A.P.

---

Debriefing

I am worried about what Neuron meant. If Emperor Cole is planning something, we defintely don't need it to be a surprise. Statesman tells me he has the entire Freedom Phalanx on ready-alert and investigating this matter as well.

Part Five: Investigate Warrior Earth

Briefing

I really wonder what Emperor Cole has up his sleeves. I mean, I want to think we stopped whatever plan he had cooked up, but I have a bad feeling that we may have just accelerated his time table.

Statesman has been doing some of his own investigation and believes that there is a clue to Cole's plan somewhere on Warrior Earth, the place where Battle Maiden and Valkyrie got their powers. He wants you to meet him there so he can assist your investigation.

• Go to Warrior Earth and meet Statesman.

Battle Maiden may be there, so you might want to bring other allies along with you.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you learned anything from Warrior Earth yet?

Investigate Warrior Earth

Mission Objective(s)

The sound of steel on steel quickens your heartbeat.

• Investigate Warrior Earth
  • Find any clues

You have recovered the Dimensional Resonator, you need to return this to Tina Macintyre.

Enemies

Notable NPCs

• Statesman (Freedom Phalanx, Hero, Ally)

Statesman dialogue

Mission start:

Great you're here. I heard some of the natives complaining about Battle Maiden kidnapping one of their leaders.

I'm gonna let you take the lead on this one.

---

Mission completion:

This dimensional resonator is key to something bigger. You should take it to Tina Macintyre, she can tell us exactly what it is.

---

Take Resonator to Tina

Unnecessary Solicitation

Go see Tina Macintyre about that Resonator.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take Resonator to Tina

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

  • Defeat Battle Maiden

You have defeated Battle Maiden and learned a vital clue.

---

Battle Maiden encounter
Before combat:

Battle Maiden: With those Resonators in place, Emperor Cole will be pleased.

Combat:

Battle Maiden: Character? Here?

Battle Maiden: And the imposter Cole joins the fight!

Battle Maiden: Emperor Cole will conquer your entire dimension!

Battle Maiden: You will have no way to detect his army!

Battle Maiden: Your deaths will be swift!

Defeated:

Battle Maiden: No, it can not be!

Statesman: Seems that Battle Maiden is allowing Emperor Cole to use her Warrior Earth as a staging ground for an invasion.

---

	Battle Maiden's banter
	In the fight with Battle Maiden, she revealed that Emperor Cole was planning an attack on Primal Earth, possibly using other dimensions as staging areas.

Debriefing

Using other dimensions as staging grounds, eh? Doing that gives them even more of an edge against us. We're going to need to check out other dimensions that the Praetorians have access to.

Part Six: Save Portal Corporation

Briefing

Tina Macintyre and I were looking up those other dimensions that the Praetorians frequent. Nightstar has that nighttime dimension, and Black Swan has that version of the Shadow Shard she created. Tina said she opened a portal to Shadow World and a whole slew of those living shadow minions of Black Swan's streamed out. They are all over Portal Corporation causing all sorts of destruction and panic. I need you to get over there A.S.A.P. and stop those Shadows!

• Rescue Portal Corp from the shadow invasion!

Just check in with me to get over to Portal Corporation!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Portal Corporation is in trouble!

Mission Objective(s)

It's worse than you thought.

• Save Portal Corporation
  • Destroy the portal device to Shadow Earth

You destroyed the portal and sealed the dimensional breach.

Enemies

Praetorians

Temporary Power:

Upon rescuing Gregor Richardson, players will receive the Fettering Nimbus temporary power.

Gregor Richardson: "This should help you out, Character!"

Fettering Nimbus Ranged, DoT (Energy), Target Immobilise, 75 Uses MAGI's Galaxy City liaison Gregor Richardson has bestowed upon you a spell that brings forth a strange white light from your hands. This light is painful to the shadows, and can hold them in place while dealing Energy damage to them. There are 75 charges.

Shadows' dialogue

Before combat:

Minor Shadow 1: Mistress will bring the shadows forth.

Minor Shadow 2: Protect the door to our world!

Combat start:
Minor Shadow: Mistress says to kill that one twice!

Debriefing

It's probably a good idea if you and Statesman check out the Shadow Earth of Black Swan's. If our suspicions are correct, we could be facing a massive invasion soon!

Part Seven: Go into the Shadow World

Briefing

Statesman called me. He wants to go with you to the Shadow World to determine exactly what Tyrant's, I mean Emperor Cole's, plan is. Go see Tina Macintyre, I'm giving her the heads up that you are both headed over there.

Shadow Earth is Black Swan's personal dimension. She created it using similar methods that the Midnight Squad created the Shadow Shard to imprison Rulaaru.

• Talk to Tina Macintyre about going to the Shadow World

Statesman's already on his way, you'd best not be late.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina just called. She's waiting for you.

Talk to Tina Macintyre

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Tina Macintyre

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Tina Macintyre|Text=Ok, you're here. After last time we are not opening any portals to Black Swan's Shadow World without proper Hero support. Stateman has already gone through, he'll be waiting for you on the other side of the portal.

Meet up with Statesman

Mission Objective(s)

Statesman should have met you as you arrived. Something is wrong.

• Meet up with Statesman
  • Look for clues
    
  • Defeat Black Swan

Black Swan's shadows have overpowered and taken Statesman, for what purpose you do not know.

Editor's Note: This mission takes place in The Chantry, with the player arriving in the Bastion of Shame neighborhood. Players will find it difficult to navigate this map without the Flight travel power or a Jetpack. The one and only clue (a portal) will be found in the Chantry proper (the big ball at the end of the map); which is where the player will also find Black Swan.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Black Swan (Archvillain)

Ambush! Clicking on the Portal will cause an ambush by a Master Shadow Find the other one! There are more! Get them!

	Scrap of cape
	You were ambushed by Black Swan's shadows, and after defeating them you noticed that a scrap of Statesman's cape was caught in the claw of one of the minions!

Black Swan dialogue

Before Combat:

Emperor Cole's troops will be here soon. I must prepare this place.

Combat Start:

You will not interfere!

---

Debriefing

Marcus is gone?! If he's in the hands of Tyrant again, I don't know what I'd do. We need to get him back!

Part Eight: Find Statesman

Briefing

Sister Psyche thinks that Mother Mayhem's insanity may be behind Statesman's abduction. On Praetoria, Praetor Tilman, 'Mother', runs the Mother of Mercy Psychiatric Hospital. That is her public facing headquarters. Her nasty side shows up in her secret asylum. If they are going to try to pry secrets out of Marcus' brain, they'd do it there. Sister Psyche wants to team up with you and take down that asylum. She'll meet you on the other side of the portal.

• Search the asylum with Sister Psyche

Statesman and I used to adventure together, you know. If the Praetorians have done anything to him, they'll have me to deal with.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you found any sign of Statesman yet? Character, if they draw out any secrets from his mind we have to know!

Mission Objective(s)

Praetor Tilman, aka Mother Mayhem, creates her creepy Seers here.

• Find Statesman
  • Find Statesman
    
  • Defeat Malaise
    
  • Defeat Mother Mayhem

You defeated Mother Mayhem and Malaise, and uncovered the fact that Statesman was worked on here, and that Infernal and Diabolique are somehow involved.

Bug! It's possible that this mission is bugged and Sister Psyche is not available as an ally (she does not appear in the mission)

Enemies

Seers

Notable NPCs

• Malaise (Archvillain)
• Mother Mayhem (Archvillain)

	Collection of Vials
	You found a collection of vials labeled: Marcus Cole, Primal Earth, Spinal Fluid. Marcus Cole, Primal Earth, Blood. Marcus Cole, Primal Earth, Saliva.

Malaise dialogue

Before Combat:

I hope this plan of Emperor Cole's will work.

Combat:

Looks like phase one is already underway!

Give your fears over to me!

Your mind is... interesting!

You think that I will be defeated this day?

The mind can not die!

Defeated:

You are too late!

Mother Mayhem dialogue

Before Combat:

Emperor Cole will be pleased with our progress. Infernal and Diabolique have what they need.

Combat:

Mother does not appreciate such acts against Praetoria!

You would dare strike Mother? Protector of our Empire?

When this is over, you will learn to love Mother, just like everyone!

Such insolence! Why do you attack Mother, why do you believe that -I- am the evil one?!

Defeated:

When we meet again... I will make you PAY!

Mother does not forget...

No... I do not...!

Debriefing

I hate being one step behind like this.

Part Nine:Find Statesman

Briefing

Diabolique is Emperor Cole's personal ghost. She's bound to him and has no free will of her own, if she's involved then Emperor Cole is defintely pulling the strings. The Praetorian Infernal acts as her bodyguard on occassion, if they have Statesman, it's going to be a tough fight. I need you to get to Infernal's Lair and see if they have him.

Infernal keeps his lair in the tunnels system under Praetoria. You'll likely encounter Resistance as well, and they tend to shoot first and ask questions later.

• Search Infernal's lair for any sign of Statesman

Statesman is one of the greatest heroes I have ever met, and I've made the acquaintance of quite a few.

I'll call around and try to get you some backup.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Statesman may be in Infernal's torture chamber right this minute.

Mission Objective(s)

You can't tell in this light, but it's possible that the walls are stained with blood.

• • Defeat Diabolique
    
  • Defeat Infernal

You defeated Infernal and Diabolique, and learned something of Emperor Cole's ultimate plan.

Enemies

Resistance

Notable NPCs

• Ms. Liberty (Vindicators, Hero, Ally)
• Infernal (Archvillain)
• Diabolique (Archvillain)

	Infernal Taunting
	Infernal taunted you throughout the battle with him. He mentioned that Statesman was in the hands of Dominatrix and Emperor Cole was extracting 'codes' from him. Also that Vanguard would be of no use. Perhaps this has something to do with the Vanguard code that was stolen?

Resistance dialogue

Resistance 1: My heebie-jeebies have totally hit eleven... Why are we here again, slammer?
Resistance 2: Don't be a squeakbeast, chomper! Remember... Be the lion, not the squeakbeast!

Diabolique: Yes, my Master.

Combat Start:

Infernal: How dare you bring that woman in here!

Diabolique: Master declares your lives forfeit!

Diabolique: Your attempts are futile!

Diabolique: I find your power amusing

Diabolique: Death will come to all!

Infernal: The last stage of Emperor Cole's plan is underway!

Diabolique: I can not die again!

Infernal: Your precious Statesman is in the hands of the Dominatrix.

Infernal: She and Marauder will get the codes out of him.

Infernal: Your Vanguard will be of no use!

---

After Defeating Infernal:

Infernal: This defeat is meaningless!

Ms. Liberty: Infernal may have given us just the info we need. When we get back to Primal Earth, I will talk to Vanguard and figure out what is going on.

---

After Defeating Diabolique:

Diabolique: Will I finally be free?

Ms. Liberty: That ghost was creepy.

---

Debriefing

If Statesman is in the hands of Dominatrix and Marauder, we have to make haste to rescue him. I will follow up with Vanguard on what Infernal might have been talking about.

Part Ten: Rescue Statesman from Marauder and Dominatrix

Briefing

I'm working the Vanguard angle that Infernal hinted at, but we need to get Statesman out of Dominatrix and Marauder's clutches. One of the Freedom Phalanx will meet you in Praetorian Earth to help you rescue Statesman.

• Go to Praetoria and rescue Statesman

Vanguard and I will work out the other half of this while you do the hard work.

Dominatrix: Has the programming been completed?

Combat:

Dominatrix: No! We are not ready!

Dominatrix: You will be defeated!

Dominatrix: Emperor Cole's armies will march upon Paragon City!

Dominatrix: You really are a troublesome beast!

Dominatrix: Victory over me assures nothing!

After Defeating Dominatrix:

Dominatrix: I've been to your world, it needs a bit more Emperor Cole in my opinion!

Positron: Programming? I wonder what that was all about.

Marauder
Before Combat:

Marauder: Upload is proceeding.

Combat:

Marauder: Gotta hold off these punks til we can finish the programming!

Marauder: Pathetic whelp!

Marauder: There is no turning back now.

Marauder: You ain't got nothin', I fought in the Hamidon Wars, I can take YOU!

Marauder: Emperor Cole has seen that Statesman ain't gonna escape!

After Defeating Marauder:

Marauder: This ain't over...!

Positron: I wonder if they are trying to brainwash Marcus?

---

After talking to "Statesman"

Positron: It's not perfect, but properly programmed this thing could have brought down all the War Walls in Paragon City, and likely shut down all Vanguard communication channels. Paragon City would have been ripe for an invasion at that point!

Positron: I trust you to find and rescue Statesman. I have some business I need to take care of in Praetoria. I can make my own way back.

Debriefing

Excellent work, uncovering that Hyper Advanced Clockwork before it could infiltrate probably saved all of Paragon City and maybe even the entire planet. One last thing to do is find the real Statesman and I think I know just where he might be.

The Final Chapter: Rescue Statesman

A few years back when we first uncovered Praetoria, Statesman was kidnapped by Tyrant and held in bonds. We had a theory that Statesman and Tyrant were nearly identical and that lead us to believe that Statesman was powerless to their technology. What a load of bunk that turned out to be! We thought those bonds held him because of that theory, but we recently deduced that those bonds themselves are powered by the Praetorian Well of the Furies. They are the only thing in the multi-verse that can hold an Incarnate like Statesman.

If Emperor Cole is keeping Statesman alive, he'll have him in those exact same bonds. It's the only way he can keep him from escaping. If that's truly the case, we know exactly where to portal you in to save him.

• Free Statesman

I doubt Emperor Cole will show his face at this point, but the guards he will have placed will be very powerful. Good luck.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Paragon City needs Statesman, Character! And Statesman needs you!

Mission Objective(s)

• Rescue Statesman

You defeated the Olympian Guard and freed Statesman!

Mission Start

Manticore: Marcus and I might not see eye to eye on everything, but I'm not about to let him be captured by these jokers.

Manticore: I'm gonna follow your lead, Kleon. This is your op.

Olympian Guard Before Combat:

Olympian Guard: Emperor Cole has me here to ensure that you never leave this place.

Combat Start:

Olympian Guard: Statesman will never be freed! Emperor Cole demands it!

---

After rescuing Statesman

Statesman: Thank you, Kleon. I trust that you stopped that Clockwork version of me? I think we've not been taking the Praetorian threat serious enough. It's time to change that.

Debriefing

You did it, Character! Statesman has been rescued! Character, I don't think I've ever been so proud!

Statesman sent this cape to you. He believes that you were insturmental in stopping a Praetorian invasion, something he and the Freedom Phalanx couldn't have done without your lead. Statesman isn't careless with his praise, Character; it seems pretty clear to me that he thinks the world of you.

Badge: Statesman's Pal

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 36 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Statesman's face plate

Statesman sent you one of his face plates as a token of his gratitude. You like to keep it with you, as a reminder of the mission you've come to think of as:

A Hero's Hero

It began with a request from Portal Corporation. One of the data scanners they were using to monitor Praetorian Earth had gone dead. You investigated, and learned that the war wolf the scanner had been attached to had been slaughtered. The scanner had been deactivated in an effort to lure you to the Praetorian world.

Portal Corporation's problems had just begun. Shortly, all of their scanners went dead, and you were sent to investigate once more. You learned that the scanners had been sent to the Praetorian villain, Siege.

Portal Corporation deemed the Praetorian seizure of the scanners to be a serious security risk, so you were sent to Siege's storage facility to recover them. You learned that the scanners had been sent on, to a lab belonging to the Praetorians' twisted engineer, Neuron.

You were next sent to Neuron's lab, where you found most of the scanners. You also learned that a few scanners had been sent to a second facility, where they were being modified to serve some dark purpose. Thanks to Tina Macintyre's skill with dimensional mechanics, you were able to locate the second lab and retrieve the last of the scanners. While there, you learned a shocking fact: the scanners were being modified so that the Praetorians could scan Statesman. Paragon City's most beloved hero was in the Praetorians' clutches!

While at Neuron's lab, you made one other discovery: a warrior clan from Battle Maiden's home world was trying to contact Neuron. They promised to swear allegiance to him if he would help rid them of Battle Maiden's tyranny. You resolved to help the clan, and perhaps learn a bit more about the Praetorians' plans. You saved the clan's village and rescued Kawago, the clan elder. Unfortunately, you learned nothing about Statesman's imprisonment or the Praetorians' plans for him.

You resolved to continue the search, but an emergency in a Paragon City neighborhood distracted you. People were being attacked by their own shadows. You went to the neighborhood, and found that Black Swan's shadow minions were behind the mischief. You beat them back, and learned that they had mentioned a prisoner on Black Swan's Shadow World.

With a little help from Tina Macintyre, you tracked Black Swan to her home dimension and rescued her prisoner. Although you were disappointed to learn that the prisoner was a young man named Julio Jimenez, you were intrigued by his story. It seemed that he had been taken from his own dimension. Black Swan had kidnapped Julio for information about his world's ruler, but the young man was too terrified of his master to even speak.

Once again, you had hit a dead end in your search for Statesman. Fortunately, Portal Corporation hadn't. they had turned up a likely location: a Praetorian asylum run by the cruel Mother Mayhem and her vicious lackey, Malaise. You searched the asylum, but found no sign of Statesman.

Portal Corporation provided another lead: a mystical torture chamber under the control of Infernal and Diabolique. You battled the villains valiantly, but, once again, you turned up no leads.

Your investigation was put on hold once more when the Praetorians Marauder and Dominatrix invaded a Portal Corporation lab. You repelled the invaders and rescued the Portal technicians. One of them had cleverly scanned Dominatrix, after overhearing her mention a recent conversation with Statesman.

You now had the location of Statesman's prison, along with enough information to free him. You battled the evil Tyrant himself, breaking Statesman's bonds and allowing him to make his escape.

Paragon City is a little brighter now, with Statesmen back among its people. There's no doubt that you, like Statesman, have earned a place among the city's brightest stars.

Fix the scanner

Briefing

I'm sure you're aware of the great threat that Praetorian Earth poses to our dimension, Character. Portal Corporation has been doing everything it can to combat that threat. Through the efforts of our hero liaisons, several of the Praetorians were incarcerated; however an extradimensional event at the Zig recently freed the lot of them. That fact makes me all the more nervous about the following development:

Recently we asked some heroes to plant data scanners on a pack of war wolves on Praetorian Earth. The scanners' primary purpose was to keep us appraised of the Praetorians' efforts to enter our dimension, but they have also been providing us with valuable information on troop movements, technological advances, and shifts of power within the Praetorian world itself. One of the scanners stopped transmitting just this morning. I need you to get to Praetorian Earth and fix that scanner.

Mission Acceptance

When the scanner went dead, it was somewhere in the abandoned graveyard I'm sending you to.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need to know the status of that data scanner.

Mission Objective(s)

As you step into this abandoned graveyard on Praetorian Earth, you feel certain you're being watched.

• Find the dead scanner
  • Defeat Chimera

Chimera was clutching a dead Portal Corporation scanner.
You found the data scanner.

Note: As Chimera also possesses the data scanner, there is no need to hunt for any glowies. Defeating Chimera is sufficient to complete the mission.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Chimera (Archvillain)

	The Wolf's Remains
	This Praetorian war wolf, one of Shadowhunter's minions, was brutally slaughtered by Chimera's ninjas. The Portal Corporation data scanner lie among the bones, now entirely defunct. It seems clear that this wolf was butchered and the scanner deactivated in order to lure you to Praetorian Earth. The thought makes you a little sick.

Ambush! After the defeat of Chimera, there will be three silent ambushes by Chimera's minions.

Chimera dialogue

Before combat: "The wolf I butchered will lead the heroes right to us. Of that I am certain."
Combat start: "You will watch us no longer!"

Debriefing

Chimera butchered that war wolf, just to lay a trap for you. I have to admit, that turns my stomach. I guess it shows us the kind of villains we're dealing with. Don't go too far, Character. I have a feeling that the Praetorians will require more of your attention. And soon.

Check on the scanners

Briefing

You remember those data scanners we planted on Praetorian Earth? The last time we spoke I was worried because one of them had gone dead; now, they're all dead! We've stopped receiving any signals from the scanners whatsoever. This doesn't sit right with me, Character. It could be that the Praetorians eliminated the scanners because they're about to begin work on something they don't want us to observe. Plans for an invasion, perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised. I need you to go back to Shadowhunter's forest and check on those scanners. See if you can confirm my suspicions.

But do it quickly. If those scanners have been compromised, we could be in danger of the Praetorians using them against us! I've only received authorization for a 1 hour excursion.

Mission Acceptance

If the Praetorians are plotting something. I need you to learn everything you can.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We still don't know what's going on and why all those data scanners went dead. Character, I'm really worried!

Mission Objective(s)

Something moves in the underbrush. You're not alone here.

• Defeat all wolves in area - 60:00

Failure - You've received a signal from Maria Jenkins. Your time on Praetorian Earth is up.
Success - When you defeated Shadowhunter, he spat out, 'Your foul machines have been given to the metallic abominations.'

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Shadowhunter (Archvillain)

	Shadowhunter's Story
	When you defeated Shadowhunter, he spat: 'Though it pained me, I have culled the infected creatures from my pack. My brothers will not serve as your spies! Your foul machines were given to the metallic abominations, the ones called Siege and Nightstar. They may do with them as the wish. I have no interest in the trappings of artificiality.'

Random chatter

Before combat: "Grooowwwrr!"
Combat start: "Grarrr!"

Shadowhunter dialogue

Before combat: "Tonight we will exact our revenge upon Character."
Combat start: "I have culled the infected creatures from my pack. My brothers will not serve as your spies!"

Debriefing Mission Failure

While you were gone, Portal Corporation managed to get a bead on the residual signal from those scanners. The data's fuzzy, but it seems likely they're some sort of facility on Praetorian Earth, rumored to be under the control of the villain Siege. I hate to send you in there. But I think I have to.

Debriefing Mission Success

So, the scanners were given to Siege and Nightstar. I think we'd better stay on this course, Character. I'm afraid it's leading us toward something big.

Bring back the missing scanners

Briefing

We've found the location of a storage facility operated by Siege and Nightstar. There's a good chance our missing data scanners may be there. I think it's important that we track down those data scanners. Character; I don't want to see Portal Corporation tech in the hands of the Praetorians. I need you to infiltrate that facility and bring back the missing scanners. Can you do that?

Mission Acceptance

Those scanners were built with state of the art technology. There's no telling what Siege and his minions can learn from them.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need every last scanner back, Character. I won't see that technology left in the Praetorians' hands.

Mission Objective(s)

Siege's enormous facility is staffed by scores of mechanized men. You'll have to fight your way through them to locate the missing scanners.

• Defeat Siege and his minions
  • Find the scanners

You learned where the scanners are being stored.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Nightstar (Archvillain)
• Siege (Archvillain)

	Transfer Order
	According to this transfer order, found on a computer in Siege's storage facility, Portal Corporation's data scanners have been sent to a lab operated by Neuron and his surgically enhanced lieutenant, Bobcat.

Nightstar dialogue

Before combat: "Maintain a tight patrol! Siege is concerned about invaders!"
Combat start: "I have more than enough power to deal with you!"

Siege dialogue

Before combat: "I'm told that the scanners have proved most illuminating."
Combat start: "How dare you invade my world?"

Debriefing

It sounds like the Praetorians are hard at work learning all they can about Portal Corporation's data scanners. They might be trying to reverse engineer them, or even adapt them to some nefarious purpose. We've got to get those scanners back!

Get the data scanners back

Defeat Bobcat and her minions

Briefing

From what you learned at Siege's storage facility, it seems that Portal Corporation's data scanners are being held at one of Neuron's labs. Portal Corporation already knows the location of one of those labs. I need you to go to Praetorian Earth and get those data scanners back. While you're there, see if you can find out what the Praetorians hope to gain by studying them.

Mission Acceptance

If you manage to get any of the scanners back, take them over to Tina Macintyre at Portal Corporation.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need those data scanners, Character. Every minute we lose is another minute Neuron has to examine them!

Mission Objective(s)

You hear a sound that strangely resembles a purr.

• Defeat Bobcat and her minions
  • Find the scanners

You defeated Bobcat and retrieved the data scanners.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Bobcat (Archvillain)

You found the data scanners!

Data scanners

You retrieved these bullet-sized Portal Corporation data scanners from one of Neuron's labs. Several have been disassembled, others have been augmented with new wires and memory chips. A set of research notes indicates that Neuron's scientists are making progress in their efforts to adapt the devices, but the purpose of this adaptation is unclear. According to the notes, a number of the scanners were sent on to another of Neuron's labs.

Patrolling Praetorians Dialogue

Alley Cat 1: If that pesky Character invades, Bobcat will flay us alive!
Alley Cat 2: No worries. We can take Character!

Bobcat dialogue

Before combat: Don't relax your guard for a minute.
Combat start: "If Character escapes, Neuron will show us no mercy!"

Take scanners to Tina Macintyre

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina can tell us more about how those scanners were modified.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take scanners to Tina Macintyre

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

Now that we've got an idea of how the data scanners were modified, I should be able to remotely activate the scanners that were sent to Neuron's second lab. Then we can pinpoint its location and send you in to determine his purpose. Right off the bat, I can tell you that his adaptation of our technology is most advanced. I'd say he's up to something pretty serious.

Defeat Neuron and his minions

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need to know what Neuron is playing at!

Mission Objective(s)

The sweat on the back of your neck chills you as you step into the climate-controlled lab.

• Defeat Neuron and his minions
  • Find the scanners
  • Seek clues

You defeated Neuron and learned that Statesman has been imprisoned.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Neuron (Archvillain)

You found the remaining scanners, along with some disturbing research notes.

Altered scanners

You retrieved these altered Portal Corporation data scanners from Neuron's lab. The accompanying research notes state that the scanners are beginning to prove effective in the interrogation of Statesman. Although no needle could pierce his skin and no Praetorian technology could unearth his secrets, it seems that Statesman is more vulnerable to technology from his own world. The excited researcher indicates that he has every expectation of breaking Statesman through the use of your world's technology.

You intercepted a message to Neuron.

Intercepted message

While investigating Neuron's secret lab, you intercepted this message. It is from a clan on Warrior Earth, the home dimension of the ruthless Battle Maiden. It offers the clan's allegiance to Neuron, if the supervillain will help the clan defend itself against Battle Maiden's relentless and often violent recruitment policies. According to the message, Battle Maiden plans to bomb the clan's home if they do not swear to follow her. Rather than accede to this blackmail, the clan has chosen to find itself a new master.

Neuron dialogue

Before combat: "Has the Statesman become more talkative?"
Combat start: "You will not invade my lab!"

Debriefing

The Praetorians have Statesman captive! How can this be? This is huge, Character, this is colossal! We've got to do everything in our power to rescue Statesman from those fiends. Maybe that message you got from Warrior Earth can help us. I'll look into it directly.

Defend the Warrior clan from Battle Maiden

Save Warrior clan's village

Briefing

Statesman is in the hands of the Praetorians, and we have to follow every lead that might help us effect his escape. I'm hoping that the message you intercepted from Warrior Earth can be one such lead. The warrior clan was willing to pledge allegiance to Neuron for help against the conquering Battle Maiden. It could be that if you go to Warrior Earth and defend that clan from Battle Maiden, they might be willing to help you instead.

Mission Acceptance

Battle Maiden's persuasive tactics lean heavily toward the brutal. According to that message, she plans to bomb the clan's village if they don't give in to her demands.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to see what you can learn from that Warrior clan.

Mission Objective(s)

The sound of steel quickens your heartbeat.

• Save Warrior clan's village
  • 15 bombs to defuse

You defused the bomb and learned that Kawago, the warrior clan's elder, was kidnapped by Battle Maiden.

	Defused bomb
	You kept this bomb you defused on Warrior Earth. It's possible that Tina Macintyre, the talented Portal scientist, may be able to trace the bomb's dimensional signature.

Battling Villains Dialogue

Champion of Battle 1 You are kidnappers! You have no honor!
Champion of Battle 2: We did what was necessary to make you see the light.

Battling Bosses Dialogue

Before combat:

Champion of War 1: If our clan elder is not returned, Battle Maiden will feel our wrath!"

Champion of War 2: Kawago will be returned only if you comply."

Combat start:

Champion of War 1: This is our battle!"

Champion of War 2: Leave, or be destroyed with these peasants!"

Take defused bomb to Tina

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina may still be able to trace the dimensional signature of that bomb. Then we can follow Battle Maiden to her hideout.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take defused bomb to Tina

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

Back again, Character. Yes, I believe I can trace the dimensional signature of this bomb. It originated on Praetorian Earth, that's to be expected. Oh! It looks like the bomb can be traced to a network of caverns deep within the Praetorians' world. If you're looking for Battle Maiden, I recommend starting there.

Defeat Battle Maiden & her minions

Unnecessary Solicitation

If we rescue their clan leader, that Warrior clan may be a little more receptive.

Mission Objective(s)

The cavern's air is ice cold; little thought is given to comfort in Battle Maiden's domain.

• Defeat Battle Maiden & her minions
  • Rescue Kawago

You freed Kawago and learned about a world of shadows.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Kawago, clan elder (non-escort Hostage)
• Battle Maiden (Archvillain)

	The clan elder's story
	When you rescued Kawago from Battle Maiden, she told you: 'My people are quick to anger, but I am certain they will forgive you once they realize that you have freed us from Battle Maiden's reign of terror. I'm afraid I cannot aid you in your quest to free your own clan elder, this Statesman. But if you ever need my help, you may call upon me.'

Battle Maiden dialogue

Before combat: "Kawago will see what it means to defy me!"
Combat start: "You can die with Kawago, for all I care!"

Kawago, clan elder dialogue

Upon rescue: "Thank you, my friend. Let me tell you my tale."

Debriefing

Shadows, huh? The Praetorians are interested in shadows? I suppose we better look into this. Character. It could be that Kawago is right; this could be the lead that helps us free Statesman from the Praetorians.

Rescue people from their shadows

Briefing

We've got an emergency situation here, Character! I just got a report from a neighborhood called Faunton Park. The people there claim that their shadows are actually trying to attack them. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Praetorians are behind this. It's chaos over there, Character. You've got to rescue those people from their shadows!

Mission Acceptance

I can hardly believe the stories I'm hearing. People are saying that their shadows stepped right off the pavement and started to attack!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Faunton Park is still in the grip of those strange shadows!

Mission Objective(s)

You've never heard of something as strange as what Maria Jenkins described to you. Shadows? Attacking their owners?

• Rescue citizens from shadows
  • 9 citizens to rescue

You saved the citizens!

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Terrified citizen x 9 (non-escort Hostages)

The citizen's story

One of the citizens you rescued from the shadows told you: 'Those creatures, they just showed up and started chanting. And then my shadow came to life! I swear it did. Listen, I heard them talking about a World of Shadows, the one their leader, Black Swan, comes from. They said that they can keep 'the prisoner' there indefinitely. I don't know who this prisoner is, but I'm sure he could use a hero like you! 'Listen, I've got a little bit of mystical know how. I think I can help you fight those shadows. I wasn't strong enough to bear the weight of this spell, but perhaps a hero like yourself could do it.'

Temporary Power

Upon completing this mission, a hero will receive the Fettering Nimbus temporary power.

Fettering Nimbus Ranged, Moderate Damage over Time(Energy), Target: Immobilize The magician you rescued from Black Swan's shadow creatures has imbued you with the power to bring forth a strange white light from your hands. The light is painful to the shadows, and can hold them in place while dealing energy damage to them. There are 75 charges.

Note: The Fettering Nimbus temporary power will disappear after the mission Rescue the prisoner.

Casting Shadows Dialogue

Before combat: Let the shadows be freed!
Combat start: You will not stop this ritual!

Terrified citizens dialogue

Upon rescue:
"I've never been so scared in my life!"
"I'm going to name my first child after you!"
"What's going on here!"
"You are the greatest!"
"That was amazing, Character!"
"I think they wanted us dead!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"They charmed our own shadows!"

Terrified citizen with clue, upon rescue: "I heard their plan!"

Debriefing

If that citizen heard right, Black Swan may be keeping Statesman on her mysterious Shadow World. We've got to do whatever we can to locate that world. The life of this town's greatest hero may well hang in the balance!

Talk to Tina Macintyre about the Shadow World

Talk to Tina Macintyre

Briefing

I'd like you to go talk to Tina Macintyre once more. She's a gifted scientist, and it's just possible that she may be able to track down this Shadow World where Black Swan draws her minions from. If Tina can find it, I'd like you to go there and see if you can find out whether Statesman is actually imprisoned on that world. If he is, we've got to break him free.

Mission Acceptance

I don't really know whether we're chasing a solid lead or a wild goose. I do know we can't stop until Statesman's safe at home.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina just called. She's waiting for you.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Tina Macintyre

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

Yes, Portal Corporation has charted no fewer than 17 different Shadow Worlds. It's certainly possible that Black Swan's home dimension is one of those. Perhaps we can narrow it down if I give you a quick scan. After all, you fought Black Swan's shadows quite recently; you may have a trace of their dimensional signature about you.

Well, here's a promising lead. I'd like you to check out dimensions Zeta Tao 7-63. I think you may find Black Swan's strange shadow minions there.

Rescue the prisoner

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need to know if that Shadow World in connected to Statesman's disappearance!

Mission Objective(s)

You hate to think of anyone imprisoned on this desolate planet, even someone as brave as Statesman.

• Rescue the prisoner

You rescued Black Swan's prisoner, but found no trace of Statesman.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Julio Jimenez (non-escort Hostage)
• Black Swan (Archvillain)

Note: It is not required to defeat Black Swan in this mission, and the game will not clue you in to her presence. However, her defeat is required for the Portal Jockey Badge accolade. Many players have fallen victim to the seemingly easy objective and exit the mission without defeating Black Swan.

Julio's story

When you rescued Julio Jimenez from Black Swan's shadows, he told you: 'The master of my world has been dueling with Black Swan for some time. You see, he is trying desperately to leave his dimension, and she is trying to keep him in it. She used her dark power to invade my world and kidnap me, because she wanted information about the master. But I could not tell her anything, not ever. If the master were ever to know, it would be most terrible. Not just for me, but for my family as well!'

Black Swan dialogue

Before combat: "The prisoner will speak, or else I will make him."
Combat start: "You will die among my shadows!"

Julio Jimenez dialogue

Upon rescue: "I'll tell you my story. But I'm afraid it won't make much sense."

Debriefing

That Julio Jimenez sure had a disturbing story to tell. I wonder who this dark master of his actually is? That's a question we may have to revisit at some time. But for now, finding Statesman is our number one priority.

Check out the asylum

Briefing

Well, that Shadow World may have been a dead end, but Portal Corporation has been scanning Praetorian Earth for some time now, and they've located a possible location where Statesman may be imprisoned. I need you to check out an asylum run by Mother Mayhem and her crazed henchman, Malaise. If you see any sign of Statesman, report back immediately.

Mission Acceptance

Statesman and I used to adventure together, you know. If the Praetorians have done anything to him, they'll have me to deal with.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you found any sign of Statesman yet? Character, if he's imprisoned in that asylum, we have to know!

Mission Objective(s)

A chittering laugh breaks off into a mournful wail.

• Defeat all villains in asylum

You defeated Mother Mayhem and Malaise, but found no sign of Statesman.

Enemies

Praetorians

• Malaise (Archvillain)
• Mother Mayhem (Archvillain)

Combat start: "Come to see the sideshow?"

Mother Mayhem dialogue

Before combat: "I want to hear the patients howling by nightfall."
Combat start: "Ah, a new patient! What a wonderful surprise!"

Debriefing

There was no sign of Statesman in that asylum? Darn. Well, we can't give up hope yet, Character. Portal Corporation's scans picked up another likely lead; we'll try that out next.

Search Infernal's torture chamber for any sign of Statesman

Briefing

Mother Mayhem's asylum may have been a dead end, but we're going to free Statesman yet. Portal Corporation turned up another likely lead: a mystical torture chamber run by the demonic Infernal and his twisted sidekick, Diabolique. If Statesman is there, there's no doubt the Praetorians are trying to pump him for information. States won't give an inch, but I hate the thought of him in a place like that. I want you to comb that torture chamber for any sign of Statesman.

Mission Acceptance

Statesman is one of the greatest heroes I ever met, and I've made the acquaintance of quite a few. I can't imagine how the Praetorians managed to capture him!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Statesman may be in Infernal's torture chamber right this minute.

Mission Objective(s)

You can't tell in this light, but it's possible that the walls are stained with blood.

• Defeat all villains in cavern

You defeated Infernal and Diabolique, but found no sign of Statesman.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Diabolique (Archvillain)
• Infernal (Archvillain)

Combat start: "You will face the terrible wrath of Infernal!"

Infernal dialogue

Before combat: "This is going to be an evening to remember, my pets."
Combat start: "You will rot in my dungeon forever!"

Debriefing

I was really hoping that you'd find Statesman, or at least a clue to his location. I'm getting worried, Character. I won't give up until States is safely back in this dimension. But I sure wish we had some hope of finding him soon.

Repel the Praetorians from the Portal Corporation lab

Briefing

Character, something terrible has happened! The Praetorians have invaded a Portal Corporation lab! It's that thug Marauder and his sick lieutenant, Dominatrix. There's a lot of important technology in that lab, but, even more importantly, there are half a dozen technicians. You've got to repel the Praetorians from that lab!

Mission Acceptance

Those Praetorians may well be the greatest threat Paragon City has ever faced.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That Portal Corporation lab is still in the hands of the Praetorians!

Mission Objective(s)

From within the lab, a man's voice calls desperately for help.

• Defeat all villains in lab
  • 5 scientists to save

You expelled the Praetorians from the Portal Corporation lab.

Notable NPCs

• 5 Scientists (non-escort Hostage)
• Dominatrix (Archvillain)
• Marauder (Archvillain)

Enemies

Praetorians

	The scientist's story
	One of the scientists you rescued from the Praetorians told you: 'I heard that Dominatrix mutter something about having just been in Statesman's cell. So, when no one was looking, I pulled out a scanner and did a quick dimensional scan. I've got the coordinates of Dominatrix's last location on Praetorian Earth! If she was telling the truth, these coordinates may help you find Statesman at last!'

Patrolling Paretorians Dialogue

Servant 1: Dominatrix commands a tight patrol
Servant 2: As the Domme wishes

Dominatrix dialogue

Before combat: "Do you remember the look on States' face the first time he saw me? Hah! What a wimp!"
Combat start: "You can join your role model in a Praetorian jail!"

Marauder dialogue

Before combat: "This world and all its people will be Tyrant's!"
Combat start: "You can't take me, puny hero! But please, go ahead and try!"

Scientists dialogue

Upon rescue:
"Thank goodness for heroes!"
"You saved us!"
"That Dominatrix chick is crazy!"
"Is that the Back Alley Brawler? Tell me it's not!"

Scientist with clue, upon rescue: "Listen! I think I can tell you where they came from!"

Debriefing

Wow, Character, if that scientist is right, we may have finally found Statesman! You should get some friends together; I expect this rescue mission will be a doozy.

Free Statesman

Briefing

According to the Portal technician who scanned Dominatrix, Statesman is being held in a cave network deep within the bowels of Praetorian Earth. They've scanned the area, and what they've learned has been immensely useful. It seems that Statesman's bonds are powered by a generator held by Tyrant himself! If you can defeat Tyrant, you can free Statesman!

Mission Acceptance

You remember how the Praetorians weren't able to use their own tech to scan States? Well, our best theory on that is that Statesman is physically so similar to Tyrant that his presence in the Praetorian dimension is never quite complete. It's as if there just isn't room for him there. The upshot is that Statesman is impervious to Praetorian technology. And it's impervious to him! He can't break out of those bonds, not on his own. You have to help him!

Unnecessary Solicitation

need text

Mission Objective(s)

You never dreamed that the great Statesman would someday rely on you for help. Now that the moment's here, there's no time to savor it. After all, there's a job to be done.

• Defeat Tyrant and his minions

You defeated Tyrant and freed Statesman!

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Statesman (Captive, level 54 Archvillain-class Ally)
• Tyrant (Archvillain, minimum level 50 regardless of mission owner experience level)

	Tyrant's warning
	When you defeated Tyrant, he told you: 'Up until now, toying with your simple dimension has been nothing but an amusement. Now, you have roused my wrath. Now, this is war!'

Defeating Tyrant earns the Statesman's Pal Badge.

Statesman's Pal You have rescued Statesman from the clutches of Praetoria.

Tyrant dialogue

Before combat: "So, Statesman. How does it feel to be a prisoner?"
Combat start: "Statesman will never be freed!"

Statesman dialogue

Upon rescue: "Thank you, Character. I have been watching your career for some time.
I'm not surprised you've come this far. Keep fighting the good fight."

Debriefing

You did it! You freed Statesman! I can hardly believe it's true. Can you imagine the faces of the citizens, when they see Statesman flying over their city once more? I don't think I've ever been so proud!

Statesman sent this face plate over for you. He said to tell you that he was glad to see Paragon City had been in good hands while he was away. Statesman isn't careless with his praise; it seems pretty clear to me that he thinks the world of you.

Missions

Battle the Praetorian threat

Note: This is usually the first mission that you receive from Maria.

Briefing

You may be aware, Character, that Portal Corporation has faced down some serious threats from the dimension they've designated Upsilon Beta 9-6. Otherwise known as Praetorian Earth. It's a dimension ruled by brutal supervillains who seem intent on claiming our world for their own. Portal scientists have done a lot of research into the Praetorian dimension, and they believe they've identified weaknesses for each of the Praetorian supervillains. I'm about to send you on some of the most critical missions you'll ever carry out. You've got to battle this new threat at it's source: Praetorian Earth.

The dangers you face on that world will be monstrous. I'd recommend always bringing a few friends along for backup.

Mission Acceptance

Your first task is to prevent the villain Infernal from summoning more demons to bind within his spectral armor. I need you to get to Infernal's lair and destroy his summoning altar.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You've got to prevent Infernal from summoning more demons!

Mission Objective(s)

The shadows that flit across the cavern walls seem somehow substantial.

• Defeat Infernal & his guards
  • Destroy the summoning portal

You defeated Infernal and destroyed his summoning altar.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Infernal (Archvillain)

Infernal dialogue

Before combat:

Darkness rise!

Combat start:

Stop Character! The summoning must continue!

Demon and Victim dialogue

Before combat:

Demon Lord: Your blood shall call forth unnamable legions!

Sacrificial victim: I don't want to die!

Combat start:

Demon Lord: You will ruin everything!

After defeating demon:

Sacrificial victim: Oh, thank you! Thank you!

Debriefing

I think they've sent me the right hero for this job, Character. In one mighty effort, you crippled the armies of Infernal, one of the biggest threats the Praetorians have to offer. I've got many more jobs like this for you, and not one of them is going to be easy. But I'm beginning to believe that you'll see them through to the finish.

Run a patrol for Warwork activity

Briefing

Tyra-, err 'Emperor Cole' has taken to sending scouts of his Warworks robots into Peregrine Island recently. I need you to run a patrol sweep, tagging the patrol boxes as you go, to check for any Warwork incursions.

• Run a patrol for Warwork activity

If you see anything, and I mean anything, we need to know about it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't completed that patrol yet.

Mission Objective(s)

• Patrol, watch for Warworks
  • 5 locations to visit

You have ensured Peregrine Island's safety.

Debriefing

Thanks for doing your part to keep Peregrine Island safe. Make no mistake about it, if the Praetorians ever manage to mount an invasion, Peregrine Island will be ground zero. It's up to heroes like you to make sure they can't get a foothold on the area.

Take down Chimera at his training facility

Briefing

Chimera. Manticore's evil twin as it were. He's just as big a mystery in Praetoria as he is on this world, but a woman named Belladonna knows exactly where to find him. Turns out she used to be one of his assassins, but now she's part of the Resistance. We can portal you in directly into the training facility and you can take down Chimera and drag him back here for incarceration. Simple job, but he is extremely deadly, so bring some help.

• Take down Chimera at his training facility

Chimera's ninjas are stealthy and smart. You'll have to be the same if you want to succeed.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That training facility was still in operation last time I checked.

Mission Objective(s)

Chimera's training facility is hidden away in this forgotten graveyard.

• Defeat Chimera & his guards

You defeated Chimera.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Chimera (Archvillain)

Editor's Note: Chimera is always located on the central plateau. Defeating Chimera alone without defeating his guards (except perhaps the one immediately next to him) is sufficient to complete the mission.

Ambush! You will be attacked by three waves of Cockatrice after defeating Chimera. Chimera has been felled!

Chimera dialogue

Before Combat

Always remember, it is not just skill I teach you. It is a way of life.

Combat Start

Your strength cannot compete with my skill!

Debriefing

That ninja camp you shut down was one of Praetorian Earth's best facilities for churning out smart, well-trained troops. With it gone, we can all breathe a little easier. We've got Chimera contained as best we can in the Zig. Some days I wish we could go back to the Cold Storage method of containing the really awful villains. It kept Reichsman off the street for the longest time.

Stop Mother Mayhem

Briefing

Sister Psyche's Praetorian counterpart is called Praetor Tilman by those who back Cole's regime, and Mother Mayhem by those who oppose it. The reason I'm telling you this is that SHE'S ATTACKING PARAGON CITY RIGHT NOW!

Sorry, I'm in sort of panic mode right this second. She's over in Waxahachie Business Park with a whole slew of those creepy Seers and IDF soldiers. I don't know what her ultimate plan is, but she's definitely up to something to come to our world. I need you to get to that business park and take her down. You are our best hope in stopping whatever she has cooked up.

• Stop Mother Mayhem

You'll need to take the Monorail to get to Waxahachie Park. Remember, Mother Mayhem's Seers are brainwashed psychics from Praetoria. Most of them don't even know a life outside of being one of her psychic puppets.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Waxahachie Park is still in the grip of Mother Mayhem and her Seers!

Mission Objective(s)

Upon exiting the monorail you have a splitting headache.

• Defeat Mother Mayhem

You defeated Mother Mayhem.

Enemies

Notable NPCs

• Mother Mayhem (Archvillain)

Mother Mayhem dialogue

Before Combat

Such an untapped wellspring of psychic potential!

Combat Start

Your mind will be delicious, Character!

Debriefing

Wow, Tilman must be desperate to come to Primal Earth looking for more psychics. I'll have to let the Resistance there know they are putting a dent in her armor. They need some good news right about now.

Prevent Shadowhunter's ressurection

Briefing

A while back we had intel on a Praetorian version of Woodsman called Shadowhunter. It seems that the Praetorian version's fate has caught up to that of his Primal counterpart and he's now dead. Killed by the Devouring Earth that rule the areas outside of Praetoria. Unfortunately this man killed tons of people and left thier bodies strewn throughout the forests, unconsecrated. Because of his nature, these bodies have the ability to ressurect him and he'll be a threat once again. I need you to go to Shadowhunter's former lair and consecrate the bodies strewn about there. Doing this will keep him dead a little while longer. Watch out for the Devouring Earth, they are just as vicious, if not moreso, in Praetoria.

• Go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones

This may be a tactical strike, but it's also a mission of mercy. You'll be freeing many trapped and miserable spirits.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to get to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate those bone

Here's a bottle of holy water. Use it sparingly, Character; from what I understand, Shadowhunter has many victims.

	Holy Water
	This flask of water has been blessed by Father Hanrahan, one of Paragon City's many priests. By sprinkling it over the bones of Shadowhunter's victims, you can weaken the villain's power.

Mission Objective(s)

Shadowhunter dared to live out among the Devouring Earth. It was only a matter of time before he was caught and killed.

• Prevent Shadowhunter's ressurection
  • 15 bones to consecrate

You consecrated the bones of Shadowhunter's victims, preventing his ressurection.

Enemies

Devouring Earth

Debriefing Mission Successful

Good work, Character. We need to do this occassionally to prevent Shadowhunter's resurrection. I will seek out a more permanent solution.

Take down Nightstar

Briefing

Black Shroud Dimension

Are you familiar wiht the Praetorian version of Luminary? She calls herself Nightstar, and she's a self-aware robot like Siege, only she seems a little bit crazy. She believes her power comes from a place called 'the Black Shroud', another dimension that she recently gained access to.

We have gotten word from the resistance that she is making her monthly pilgramage to the Black Shroud dimension, and this would be a perfect time to strike, taking her down without fear of Praetorian reprisal. We need you to go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar, can you pull this off for us, Character?

• Go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar

You'll want to check the rooftops for Nightstar and her minions. That's where they can usually be found.

Unnecessary Solicitation

This is our best time to strike!

Mission Objective(s)

The Black Shroud dimension is cloaked in eternal night. Strange forces are at play here.

• Take down Nightstar
  • Defeat Nightstar & her guards

Historical

With the release of Issue 19, many missions were revised by the developers (typically with briefings that more closely matched the new Praetorian content available with Issue 19).

Historical Missions

Run a patrol for Praetorian activity

Briefing

Ever since the Praetorians first set eyes on our dimension, they've wanted it for their own. It's only through the constant vigilance of heroes like yourself that Peregrine Island, the heart of Portal Corporation, is kept safe. If the Praetorians manage to take over Portal, we'll have no defense against their dimensional incursions. I'd like you to run a sweep through Peregrine Island and make sure there's no Praetorian activity going on.

Mission Acceptance

If you see anything, and I mean anything, we need to know about it.

Take down Chimera's training facility

Briefing

We've locked the primary facility where Chimera trains his ninja assassins. I'd like you to get in there and take down that training facility. You'd wipe out a good portion of Chimera's troops, while making it harder for him to train others. That's what I'd call a big coup.

Mission Acceptance

Chimera's ninjas are stealthy and smart. You'll have to be the same if you want to succeed.

Stop Mother Mayhem

Note: As of Issue 14 this mission is indeed time limited, a two-hour counter begins once the mission is acccepted.

Briefing

On our world, Sister Psyche's one of the nicest women I know. But on Praetorian Earth, her alter-ego is known as Mother Mayhem. Rather than use her psychic powers for good, Mother Mayhem uses them to drive people insane! She triggers the rage center in their brains, turning them into deranged killing machines. I've got an urgent report from Portal Corporation; Mother Mayhem and a slew of her 'patients' have just beamed into a downtown area called Waxahachie Park. You've got to get over there and stop Mother Mayhem! Otherwise, the Waxahachie occupants may wind up dead! You only have 2 hours to deal with the situation.

Mission Acceptance

You'll need to take the Light Rail to get to Waxahachie Park. Remember, Mother Mayhem's minions are really just victims of her evil mind-control. Stop them, but don't do them harm.

The police rounded up Mother Mayhem's minions and took them to the asylum. The doctors there hope that after a few weeks away form Mother Mayhem's influence, those poor people may start to regain their sanity. I'd say you did a good thing not just for Paragon City, but for the oppressed people of Praetorian Earth as well.

Go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones

Briefing

Portal Corporation has located the stronghold of the Praetorian villain called Shadowhunter. It's a wooded thicket, where the bones of Shadowhunter's victims are kept, unburied and unconsecrated. Shadowhunter and his wolves draw their power from those bones, and from the restless spirits tied to them. If you could go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones, you'll free the spirits of his victims. each spirit you free will weaken Shadowhunter and his minions.

There's a catch, though. If you don't manage to complete your mission quickly, Shadowhunter's wolves may get a chance to hide them. Then we'll never break his power. You only have 1 hour.

Mission Acceptance

This may be a tactical strike, but it's also a mission of mercy. You'll be freeing many trapped and miserable spirits.

Here's a bottle of holy water. Use it sparingly, Character; from what I understand, Shadowhunter has many victims.

Shut down Black Swan's portal to the Shadow World

Briefing

The Praetorian Black Swan gains her powers from her dimension of origin, some sort of Shadow World. No one at Portal Corporation has yet been able to determine which dimension Black Swan comes from, but we know that that's where she finds her shadow soldiers. If you could shut down Black Swan's portal to Shadow World, you could prevent her army from growing any larger. Maybe you could even cut off her own power supply!

Mission Acceptance

The location of this Shadow World is a mystery Portal Corporation has been trying to plumb for some time.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to shut down the portal linking Praetorian Earth to the Shadow World.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Black Swan & her guards
  • Destroy the portal

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Black Swan (Archvillain)

Black Swan dialogue

Before combat: Prepare the portal for my departure.
Combat start: How dare you come to my domain?

Debriefing

We still haven't located Black Swan's Shadow World, but at least we've cut off her access to it for the time being. Good work, Character. I'm glad I've got you with me in the fight against the Praetorians.

Shut down Siege's factory

This is exciting, Character. We've got a lead on one of Siege's primary production facilities, the factories where he produces all his android minions. If you could get to Praetorian Earth and shut down Siege's factory, you'll be taking a lot of the bite out of his army. It won't be easy, Character. But I believe that if anyone can manage this, it's you.

Mission Acceptance

My sources have informed me that the facility has several power generators you'll need to disable.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If Siege is allowed to keep pumping out robots, Paragon City could have hard times ahead.

Mission Objective(s)

Siege's massive factory spouts great gouts of black smoke into the air.

• Defeat Siege & his guards
  • Seek clues, 7 generators to destroy

You disabled Siege's factory and found some android parts.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Siege (Archvillain)

	Andoid Parts
	You recovered these android parts from Siege's production facility on Praetorian Earth. They should help the scientists of your world figure out how to best combat Siege's legions.

Seige dialogue

Before combat: We must step up production to prepare for the invasion.
Combat start: My robot warriors will tear you to shreds!

Debriefing

You've put a serious crimp in Siege's production. Even better, these android parts you found should give us a good idea of how to best battle Siege's android dopplegangers. Citadel's been cooperating with us in our analyses of the androids, but there are still a few enigmas we can't crack. Maybe now that'll change.

Stop the battle between Malaise and the Rikti

Briefing

The Rikti and the Praetorians may have the same goals in mind, but that doesn't make them friends. On the contrary. The Praetorians want to conquer Earth for themselves, so they're as interested in beating back the Rikti as we are. One of the Praetorians has cooked up an ingenious scheme for weakening the Rikti; Malaise plans to use some sort of drug to revert the converted Lost back to a more human state. He hopes to pit them against their Rikti masters and create chaos in the Rikti ranks.

As we speak, Malaise's forces are moving in on a Rikti base in the sewers. I need you to get to the sewers and stop the battle. Damage to the sewer system is a real health hazard, and there's also the risk that Malaise will reinforce his army with the converted Lost.

Malaise has the power to inflict his madness on others; most of his minions are deranged and unstable, just like the Lost themselves. In fact, if he manages to revert some of the Rikti converts to their Lost state, they should fit right into his army.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

The gibbering voices of Malaise's crazed minions bounce eerily off the sewer walls.

• Defeat all villains in sewer
  • 4 drug stashes to confiscate

You stopped the battle in the sewers.

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Malaise (Archvillain)

	Mutagenic drugs
	Malaise planned to use these drugs to reverse the mutations of the Lost who have become full-fledged Rikti. By converting these people back into the Lost, Malaise hoped to cause chaos within the Rikti ranks and perhaps create new soldiers to swell his army.

Before combat: needs data
Combat start: needs data

Debriefing

It's disturbing how twisted Malaise's minions really are. I can't help but feel sorry for them; after all, they were ordinary people until Malaise got his hooks into them. At least you prevented him from converting the Rikti into more followers for his cause.

Find out where Battle Maiden's troops are coming from

Find clue to Battle Maiden's plans

Briefing

We've learned that the Praetorian Battle Maiden is recruiting her troops from some other dimension. The problem is, we don't know which one. I need you to get to Praetorian Earth and infiltrate Battle Maiden's headquarters. See if you can find anything to indicate which world her troops are coming from. If we can cut off her supply, we may be able to keep her from posing a threat to Paragon City.

Mission Acceptance

If you find anything that might come from the world of Battle Maiden's troops, take it to Tina Macintyre. She may be able to get a dimensional trace on it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need to know where Battle Maiden's troops are coming from.

Mission Objective(s)

• Find clue to Battle Maiden's plans

You found a clue to the source of Battle maiden's troops

Enemies

Take stone to Tina Macintyre

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tina Macintyre needs to see those stone shavings. She may be able to figure out their dimension of origin.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take stone to Tina Macintyre

Tina Macintyre

Briefing

It certainly does look as though Battle Maiden is originally from this Warrior Earth. I wonder how she won a spot for herself among the Praetorians? If I had to guess, I'd say it was for her viciousness in battle. That's a trait that certainly seems to be valued in Praetorian society.

Let me see those stone shavings. Well, it's weak, but I've got a dimensional trace. I'll tell the technicians to open up a portal to Warrior Earth for you. Once you're there, you'll need to stop Battle Maiden from recruiting more troops

Defeat Battle Maiden & her guards

Unnecessary Solicitation

Battle Maiden can't be allowed to swell her army! She's already dangerous enough as it is!

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Battle Maiden & her guards
  • Destroy the last weapons!

You defeated Battle Maiden.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Battle Maiden (Archvillain)

Battle Maiden dialogue

Before combat: "Take these weapons and use them in my service."
Combat start: "Do not interfere!"

Debriefing

By destroying those weapons, you upset Battle Maiden's delicate negotiations. I think it's safe to say that Warrior Earth won't be sending any more troops her way, at least for a while. From what we can tell of that world's warriors, not one of them wants to join up with a losing team.

Rescue spirits from Diabolique

Briefing

The Praetorian Diabolique gains her power by controlling the spirits of the dead. I've got it on good authority that she's performing such a summoning in a graveyard on Praetorian Earth within the next few hours. If you could stop her before she enslaves the spirits in that graveyard, you'll have struck a solid blow in the figh tot keep Paragon City safe. You only have 2 hours to stop the summoning.

Diabolique's spectral forces remain a force to be reckoned with, but at least you kept her from swelling their ranks. And you helped some people, too. Or should I call them ghosts? Spirits? Whatever you call them, you kept them free from Diabolique's rule. I'd say that's what being a hero is all about.

Defeat Dominatrix and confiscate the Fixadine

Defeat Dominatrix & her minions

Briefing

Today I've got a chance for you to not only strike the Praetorians, but also do some good for this world. I've received word that the villain Dominatrix is having a rave in a warehouse on Praetorian Earth. Her guests will be enjoying all the most extravagant debauchments Praetorian Earth has to offer, including a drug called Fixadine. Sound familiar? That's because it's the Praetorian version of Superadine. I need you to defeat Dominatrix and confiscate the Fixadine. Can you do it?

Acceptance

Fixadine and Superadine have some subtle molecular differences. Dr. Steve Sheridan believes he can use the Fixadine in his ongoing efforts to cure the Trolls of their Superadine-induced mutations. Once you've got the drug, get it over to him.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm glad to see that you don't have any quit in you, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

The sound system booms out a crazy punk beat.

• Defeat Dominatrix & her minions
  • Find the drugs!

You defeated Dominatrix and confiscated her Fixadine.

Notable NPCs

• Dominatrix (Archvillain)

	Fixadine
	This Praetorian drug is quite similar to your world's Superadine, but there are certain subtle molecular differences. These differences could help Dr. Steven Sheridan isolate the components of Superadine that turn its users into Trolls.

Briefing

Ah, the Fixadine. Good. This should help my Superadine studies tremendously. Thank you.

Debriefing

Great job. Just terrific. Not only did you do something good for science, you also weakened Dominatrix's hold over her minions. Dominatrix leads through the strength of her personality and her followers' blind faith. Now that you've made her look weak before them, I doubt it'll be easy for her to maintain her position.
