Overview

Tyrant, also known as Emperor Marcus Cole, is a Praetorian Earth Archvillain, the Praetorian counterpart to Primal Earth's Statesman. As such, he is the leader of all Praetorians.

Tyrant spawns at a minimum of level 50 regardless of the level of the mission holder. This is unique among Archvillains, as no other Archvillains from normal Story Arcs follow this particular behaviour.

More recently, Tyrant has been seen in the teaser video for Going Rogue as the ruler of Praetoria, with newcomer, Maelstrom, at his side.[1]

Heroes may find him:

• on the Free Statesman mission from Maria Jenkins as a minimum level 50 Archvillain (Levels 45-50)

Background

Description

This power hungry version of Statesman believes firmly that Might Makes Right. He has conquered his world and like a modern day Alexander he is now turning his eye to ours. Tyrant rules with a heavy hand, and it is only through the fanatical loyalty of Neuron and his creations that Tyrant retains his throne so easily.
