Level 40-50
(A villain may choose one of the following contacts. The decision is permanent!)
Black Scorpion, as you may already know, possesses a unique suit of power armor which secures his position within the Arachnos hierarchy. He commands the mechanical Tarantulas of Arachnos, no doubt in order to oversee the robotics technologies our technicians make upon these heavy combat units. Black Scorpion is assisted in part by Silver Mantis, a woman who shares his obsession with armored augmentation.
Black Scorpion respects raw power, as long as you don't overreach yourself.
Captain Mako himself would like to meet you - be prepared. His reputation as a savage is not undeserved, for this mutant has performed many an unsavory task on behalf of Arachnos. He is cunning and relentless killer, and those who serve him should show no sign of weakness. He commands the Crab Spiders of Arachnos and can be found in the company of Barracuda, a minion nearly as callous as her master.
Captain Mako respects other predators, everyone else is prey.
Scirocco, the Desert Wind, is one of the more principled members of Lord Recluse's inner circle. He began his career as more of a freedom fighter than as a villain, but once he usurped the mystic Mantle of the Desert Wind, he became a major terrorist threat. He joined Lord Recluse soon after, and has since become a member of the inner circle. He often argues with the others, as he feels that villains don't have to be monsters to get the job done.
I am certain Scirocco will be glad to hear of your decision. I will send word to him immediately.
The deadly - and undead - wraith called the Ghost Widow is one of the most trusted members of Lord Recluse's inner circle. She was once a night widow assassin, but after her death she became something much more. Now, as a ghost she has been bound to Arachnos, and haunts the Rogue Isles hunting down the foes of Lord Recluse. She commands the Widows and Fortunatas of Arachnos, and is often protected by her bodyguard, the mutated creature called the Wretch.
