Provost General of Praetoria
Provost Marchand owes his life to the regime of Emperor Cole. His current power armor suit is what keeps Marchand alive - without it, he would live for only a few minutes before his entire body shut down. Marchand's main goal is to ensure the peace and prosperity of Praetoria and is willing to get his hands dirty to do so.

Initial Contact
Nice to talk with you, Character. My name is Marchand, Provost Marchand. You may have heard of me - I am one of the oldest members of the regime, having been around for all of the Hamidon Wars and even before.
The one thing I seek, above all else, is the safety of Praetoria. Sometimes that means rather... extreme measures. Other times it means ensuring the members of Powers Division get what they need to continue their work.
What exactly do you need?

Missions
Meet with the Deputy Assistant of Information
Do you know about the Deputy Assistant of Information? He's an up and comer within the government. He has a lot of ambition and asked me to contact you. Normally, I wouldn't send you his way, but if you're looking for a chance to make a name for yourself here, the Deputy Assistant is the way to go. He has a habit of finding information on things that shouldn't be found.
Deputy Assistant of Information is the start of the Power storyline for the Loyalists. Those who are in Power use the law for their own benefit, whether it be to gain power, fame, or glory. If they do help the people of Praetoria, it's only because it happened to fit into their own plans. People who follow the Power path are often praised by the people as heroes while hiding their true agenda from the masses.
Meet with the Deputy Assistant of Information
Here's where the Deputy currently is. Be careful when you speak with him, the man can be somewhat...well, let's just say he has an air of desperation to him.
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with the Deputy Assistant of Information
Briefing
It's an honor to meet a fine, upstanding member of the Powers Division such as yourself. No doubt that my good friend Marchand spoke with you? Yes, yes of course.
I'm pleased to begin our working relationship, just as much as you are, I imagine. Shall we get started?
Meet with Chief Interrogator Washington
Do you know about Chief Interrogator Washington? I'm sure he knows about you.
It's his job to keep various departments in Praetoria together and investigate any possible crimes.
He's heard of your work in the Powers Division and wants to start some cases with you.
Chief Interrogator Washington is the start of the Responsibility storyline for Loyalists. Those who follow the path of Responsibility seek to protect the people of Praetoria without oppressing them. They seek to enforce the law for the peace and safety of everyone, not for their own gain.
Meet with Chief Interrogator Washington
Be careful with Washington, he has the mind of a jackal and the body of a lion. If you have any thoughts of siding with the terrorists, he'll know right away.
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with Chief Interrogator Washington
Briefing
Hello, Character. My name is Washington, I assume that Marchand has already given you the introductions.
I'll cut to the chase. If you're here talking to me, it means that you're out to help keep Praetoria safe. I can use more people like you by my side. There are too many show-offs in the Powers Division and even the PPD. You can see it reflecting in the state of Praetoria - Destroyers lounging around, even those 'Resistance' scum making their way to the surface.
Someone needs to enforce the law and keep the peace - that's going to be us.
Let's get started
Meet with Mr. G
Have you heard of a man called Mr. G, Character? He's a very powerful man within the government of Praetoria. He focuses his efforts on Imperial City, due to the fast paced nature of the area. You should speak with him if you want to further your career there.
Mr. G is part of the Power storyline for the Loyalists. Those who are in Power use the law for their own benefit, whether it be to gain power, fame, or glory. If they do help the people of Praetoria, it's only because it happened to fit into their own plans. People who follow the Power path are often praised by the people as heroes while hiding their true agenda from the masses.

Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with Mr. G
Meet with Interrogator Kang
Imperial City has become a rat's nest of crime over the past few weeks. I'm assigning you to work with Ray Kang, an Interrogator who is working a case that has recently become one of TPN's top stories. Assist Kang in solving the case in a timely manner, public opinion is showing signs of wavering according to the latest data provided by Praetor Tilman.
Interrogator Kang continues the Responsibility storyline for Loyalists. Those who follow the path of Responsibility seek to protect the people of Praetoria without oppressing them. They seek to enforce the law for the peace and safety of everyone, not for their own gain.
Meet with Interrogator Kang
I trust you and Kang will be able to clean up Imperial City.
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with Interrogator Kang
Briefing
Marchand informed me that you might be lending me a hand on this case, Character. I appreciate it, really.
The boys in the PPD seem to forget that we're all in this mess together, and if we're going to make a real difference, it's going to happen because of teamwork. The bad guys seem to understand this, I just hope it isn't too late for our side.
Well, I don't aim to make this case a publicity stunt, but it may well just turn out that way. We've got ourselves a serial killer on the lose, and TPN is having a field day with it.
Let's get to work.
Agreed, let's get moving.
Meet with Dr. Hetzfeld
I've been contacted by a brilliant scientist in Neutropolis by the name of Dr. Hetzfeld. He's made no secret of his displeasure with Praetory Berry as head of the Science Academy, and honestly, I have to agree with him. Hetzfeld has decades of solid research under his belt, while Berry is more of a 'shoot from the hip' kind of guy. But before I blather on about politics, Hetzfeld asked for you specifically. He's been following your career and believes that you are exactly what he's been looking for in his latest research project.
Dr. Hetzfeld is part of the Power storyline for the Loyalists. Those who are in Power use the law for their own benefit, whether it be to gain power, fame, or glory. If they do help the people of Praetoria, it's only because it happened to fit into their own plans. People who follow the Power path are often praised by the people as heroes while hiding their true agenda from the masses.
Meet with Dr. Hetzfeld
Splendid. I'll let the good doctor know that you are on your way to meet him. Oh, as an aside, don't be alarmed by his, um, 'personal augmentations'. He believes that if Praetor Berry's neural enhancement were applied to a real scientist then the results would be phenomenal. As such, he has been pursuing just such a breakthrough on himself. It can be a little... unsettling.
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with Dr. Hetzfeld
Briefing
Don't worry, unlike that butcher, Neuron, I believe in extensively testing my inventions before implementation. Do you think I'd rewire my own brain without testing the equipment first? Unlike Neuron, I actually have something to lose upstairs.
Good to know
Meet with android IVy
The state of Neutropolis has degraded over the past few months, mainly due to the behavior of Praetor Berry. He is a brilliant man, but never bothers to repair what he has created, preferring to move on to the next 'big project'. The people that live in Neutropolis send many of their requests to an android he created some time ago for such a purpose. Its name is IVy. If you want to do some good in Neutropolis, I would contact IVy to see what information she has. I doubt that Praetor Berry bothers to check her tasklist anymore; most likely she has a long backlog of people who could use your help.
IVy continues the Responsibility storyline for Loyalists. Those who follow the path of Responsibility seek to protect the people of Praetoria without oppressing them. They seek to enforce the law for the peace and safety of everyone, not for their own gain.
Meet with the android IVy
Praetor Berry programmed IVy with a peculiar personality. Be careful when you're dealing with it.
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with IVy
Briefing
I am welcoming you to the utopia of Neutropolis. Praetor Berry has designated me to file all issues that the people of this prosperous city send to me! Please state in a clear and slow tone what you need.
I am hearing that you were sent here by Provost Marchand to aid in the clearing of my task list? Affirmative! I shall begin loading up said tasklist for you now.
Alright then.
