Alan Desslock is a villain contact in the Darwin's Landing neighborhood of Mercy Island at coordinates (-3876.5, 158, -2935). Alan Desslock is a Natural origin contact. He gives missions to Villain Epic Archetypes.

Introductions

Initial Contact

So you're the one who is tired of all these 'Destined Ones', eh? Well, maybe we can work together and do something about it.

Information

Ex-Arachnos Soldier

Alan was once a high ranking Arachnos soldier. On one mission, his superiors ordered him into a suicide scenario, unbeknownst to him and his team. Being a diversion, his superiors did not do anything about his team's safety and they were wiped out, with Desslock being the only survivor. He made his way out of the nightmare and back to the Rogue Isles where he quit Arachnos and now does what he can to subvert their activities, all the while looking to place an operative on the inside.

New Contact(s)

Missions

Briefing

So, you come to me because you want to pretend you are a Destined One, eh? Want all the perks that go with being one of the few, the proud, the Tools of Lord Recluse?

Well, I can see advantages for myself in helping you out here, so I am willing to do this with you. You are going to owe me a lot of favors for my help, but we can cross that bridge when you are a bit more powerful. For now, you gotta put your name onto the list. You do know there is a list, right? Kalinda, one of Lord Recluse's seers, divined who the actual Destined Ones can be, and made a list. It's electronic so it shouldn't be too hard to insert your name onto it. I even have a virus you can upload that will stick your name onto all the copies on the Arachnos computer network as well.

  • Alter the Destined One list and insert your own name onto it.

It's a simple job, and brings with it the benefit of being one of Lord Recluse's Destined Ones. Pretty good for a day's work, I'd say.

Once you finish, you should start seeing the benefits of your work immediately by seeing Kalinda herself for some Destiny-related jobs.

You have received the computer virus from Alan Desslock.

Icon clue generic.png
Desslock's Virus
Desslock fashioned a virus to replicate the master Destined One list over any of its copies on other networked computers. After it finishes it will act like a Freedom Corps watchdog program in order to throw the Arachnos techs off the trail of anyone affecting the Destined One lists.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Alter Destined One List
    • Alter Destined One Mainframe

Since you are not supposed to be here, you should take care of any witnesses as well.

Mission Objective: You have placed your name on the list and uploaded Desslock's virus.

Mission Complete: You are now on the Destined One list and are a part of Project: Destiny whether Lord Recluse likes it or not!

Icon clue generic.png
The New List
You have a copy of the new list that you created. It has your name listed among the list of possible 'Destined Ones'. You have taken your first step in your master plan.

Debriefing

Well, you've taken your first step.

You should go and see Kalinda now that you are on the list and start doing what she needs. I should have more for you to do when you are Threat Level 5.

On the off chance you don't want to deal with Arachnos much, I'd go speak with Burke.

Let's Do This

Briefing

Ah, you're back. And just in time, too!

It turns out there was an operative that entered the Zig to bust out the Destined Ones. This Private Jenkins had a hard copy of the list, something that is obviously unaffected by my virus. It's the original 'without Character' edition too. I know where he is currently dispatched, so you can find him and get that list from him. The list is too long, and he is too stupid to know your name isn't on it, so just getting the list from him will do. He carries it around as some sort of memento of a successful mission, so beating him up should be sufficient in getting them back.

  • Beat up Jenkins and get the list.

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is a trained Arachnos operative. Use caution.

Jenkins must be down here doing a sweep for Snake activity.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Defeat Jenkins, Get List
    • Get list from Pvt. Jenkins

Dialog

(aggroed)

Private Jenkins: Hey, it's Character! How's things going? Why are you looking at me like you want to beat me up?

Mission Objective: You find Private Jenkins' copy of the original Destined One list in his wallet, along with some cash.

Mission Complete: You defeated Private Jenkins and got his copy of the list!

Debriefing

Well done. That should do it with extraneous copies of that list. You should destroy that before people start to ask questions.

Well, look at that, the insignificant one actually has some potential.


The Longbow List "Part Two" (Level 30)

Briefing

I have a suspicion that Longbow are rounding up Destined Ones for their own purposes. One of my contacts within the organisation pointed me to a warehouse they are using as a staging area. Go break in there and access their computers, looking for any information on Destined ones you can find.

  • Steal computer files

Bring me the files when you have them, so we can piece this together.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Steal computer files
    • Alter Destined One Mainframe

This is the staging area Desslock told you about.

Mission Objective: You copy the files off the hard drive.

Mission Complete: You've got the files, now get them to Alan Desslock.

Icon clue generic.png
Computer File
You have found a computer file on Operation: Villain Be Gone. The operation seems to be about rounding up villains broken out of the Zig by Arachnos. Longbow believes the villains belong to something called Project: DESTINY. There is a location for a cargo ship out in the waters near the Rogue Isles.

Debriefing

Ok, these files will give me a better idea about what's going on.

Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! First mission described in mission text as Part Two - should be Part One. The second mission in the mini-arc is referred to as Part One.

The Longbow List "Part One" (Level 30)

Briefing

I got word that the Freedom Phalanx is rounding up Destined Ones and running some kind of mumbo jumbo magic experiments on them. Of course, we should learn more about these experiments: see if you show up and all that. We can never be too careful. I'd take down some Longbow and see what you can learn about this Operation: Villain Be Gone.

  • Go defeat 30 Longbow

Keep taking them out till you find one that talks.

Task Complete: You got one of the Longbow to talk!

Icon clue generic.png
Interrogation
You got one of the Longbow agents to give you some information on Operation: Villain Be Gone. It seems a member of the Freedom Phalanx is spearheading the operation here in the Rogue Isles. With the spells and such it must be one of the mystical members, maybe Numina.

Debriefing

Hmm, I wonder who is heading all this up? Numina maybe, with all the magic involved.

The Longbow List Part Three (Level 30)

Briefing

Okay, I think I have this figured out. Longbow have a boat offshore that they are organizing the strikes from. Your job is to get out there and take on whoever is running this show. I also want you to grab a hold of whatever list Longbow is using to track down Destined Ones. I'd bring some help along, if they have a Hero, then you might need all the help you can get.

* Take out Hero. Retrieve List.

Good luck, and don't be shy about asking for help with this.

This is the place.

Icon clue generic.png
Longbow Files
This list seems to be a copy of the original Destined One list that you altered. Your name is not on it, but the file indicates that it was divined by someone in Paragon City, and recently too .

Dialog

Back Alley Brawler: OK, team, this Operation DESTINY crap has to end now. Suit up and get ready for another strike.

Aggro: Arachnos is here!

On 75%: Huh, this spider has a bite!

On 50%: Now you're just pissing me off!

On 25%: Pretty tough for an Arachnos soldier!

Defeat: This isn't over!

Player defeat: Someone call an exterminator?

Mission Objective: You found something

Mission Complete: You've defeated Back Alley Brawler and accessed the computer.

Debriefing

Ah, it looks like Longbow has their own list. I hadn't even thought of that. I wonder why your name is on the Arachnos List and not on theirs?

But... But... Part One (Level 35)

Briefing

What you need to be doing right now is getting out there and kicking the butts of the other Destined Ones. There is one I know about, Burning Daemon, who is knocking over an office complex right now with some Arachnos troops. Why don't you go there and show Burning Daemon who the Destined One is in this town?

  • Defeat Burning Daemon, show world who's boss

This intel came to me pretty easily, so there might be some sort of trap involved.

This isn't the usual sort of job for Burning Daemon to pull. You're suspicious of the whole op.

Icon clue generic.png
Arachnos Orders
The orders are basically to make things look good to you. Arachnos obviously knew you'd be hunting down Burning Daemon and have something cooking involving you and your Destined One status... but what?

Mission Objective: You found some suspicious orders on this Arachnos patrol.

Mission Complete: You defeated Burning Daemon and uncovered some Arachnos plot!

Debriefing

The orders said WHAT? Oh man, they are playing us BOTH. I've been suspicious of that new Destined One list ever since you got a hold of it. I have an idea about what to do next.

But... But... Part Two (Level 35)

Briefing

Oh boy, you are not gonna believe this... I have some intel that says you may not be a Destined One after all. I don't know how this could be after Kalinda re-divined the list and all, so I suggest we find out. Kalinda is the key, so I suggest you steal information from her files to find out what is going on.

  • Steal Kalinda's files on Operation: DESTINY

Get that info.

This is Kalindas base of operations. Her computer should be around here somewhere.

Icon clue generic.png
Kalindas Files
You have learned that Lord Recluse has been playing you for a fool. He wanted to see exactly how far you were willing to take this Destined One facade, and if you were willing to go through with the endgame for it. One thing that is suspiciously missing is exactly what the Destined One is supposed to DO.

Mission Objective: You found the files on Operation: DESTINY.

Mission Complete: You located the files!

Debriefing That son of a... ARGH! This makes me so mad. I know what Recluse is capable of, but I never expected something like this. I wonder what this Destiny is that he's being so coy about?

Destiny For Sale, Cheap (Level 50)

Kalinda wants to have a word with you. She talked to me earlier about you specifically. She said if you ever showed up here to go and see her and hear what she had to say.

  • Go ahear what Kalinda has to say to you.

I don't know. She actually sounded a little afraid of you when she was talking to me.

  • Hear what Kalinda has to say.

So, Bane Spider Leo, we meet in a more civil capacity. I must say I am very impressed with you. You have done what many of us believed to be impossible.

When I first divined the list of Destined Ones your name was not on it. When I was forced to re-divine the list... that was your doing, wasn't it? When I re-divined the list, your name was still not on it, but Lord Recluse had me put it on it anyway.

Perhaps that was the catalyst? More likely your sheer force of WILL was the catalyst. Whatever the cause, you have actually became THE Destined One. You put my future-telling talents at question. You put the power of the Eye of Chronos in question. You made all of the Seers in Lord Recluse's stable look like fools.

And for that... I bow to you, Destined One.

You will be happy to know that all signs and portents to the true identity of the Destined One now point to you.

Now go back to Mr. Desslock. I believe he has a task that one of your status should find... entertaining.

  • Return to Alan Desslock

I helped you all this way, but in the back of my head I had a nagging feeling that everything was going to come crashing down around us. Looks like I was wrong, Destined One.

Tell you what. Now that you're on top of the world why don't you go make a name for yourself. I got a line on where the great and powerful Statesman is going to be, sans Freedom Phalanx. Why don't you take this opportunity to take a shot at the title?

  • Defeat Statesman
