Dean MacArthur is a man who doesn't exactly look like he belongs in the Rogue Isles.

In Leonard Silmon's arc, if you find information on Dean in the PPD's files, you will discover that he was a member of the PPD, and is wanted for murder. When asked, he reveals that his father was murdered, but the killer got away with it due to a legal loophole. Dean killed his father's murderer, and fled to the Rogue Isles.

What's up babe? Look, me, I'm not a guy who splits hairs, but I gotta in this situation. What I wanna do is way too small time for you, I'm even kinda nervous just ''thinking'' about asking you to do this stuff. You got bigger fish to fry!

{{orange|Missing male dialog}}

A man named Dean MacArthur is rumored to be looking for you in Sharkhead Isle. People have overheard him saying that he wants to help out 'a beautiful flower like {{Character}}.'

 

==== {{UL|Female}} ====

 

Well, I'll tell you! I'm a guy who can get you information on what YOU want.

So, what do you say?

:What can I do for you? What can I, the Daring D'ster do for a lovely rose like you?

:Now me, I think that information could be used against folks. You name 'em, Cage, Longbow, Wyvern, Legacy Chain, ''PPD,'' the works.

:Buncha bum,s you know? So I find this info, give it to you, and you do what you do with it!

{{MeritAward|5}}

 

{{orange|Merit total is for flashback.  Need to verify merit total for running normally.}}

It all began when you met Dean MacArthur, a man who supposedly was a good source of information. He told you that Ajax, a survivor from the Omega Team, was on a rampage in the Isles, tearing up any super powered beings who were operating within it. It was also rumored that Ajax's invulnerability was fading after all these years. You and Dean set up a plan to ambush Ajax during a jewelry store robbery. While you were there, you ran into a clone of yourself, who quickly ran away. Adding to your problems even more, Ajax turned out to still be completely invulnerable!

You weren't too interested in tracking down Ajax - the clone of yourself was far more of a problem. Dean put in some calls to his friends and tracked down where your clone ran off to. Dean also mentioned a party interested in taking Ajax off of your hands. You followed the clone, stumbling into a cloning facility run by the 5th Column! All the major factions in Sharkhead were battling it out within the factory, trying to either destroy the facility or take it for themselves. You fought your way to the bottom of the facility and destroyed your clone, then took direct control over operations. It would just be a matter of finding the right resources to get this place up and running.

That's where Crey would come in. Dean's friend in Wyvern tipped him off to a raid they were doing on a Crey office in Sharkhead. You broke up the raid and recruited three Crey scientists to your cause. You also found some interesting information about Project Revenant and a method to disable supers who were completely invulnerable. All of this could be used to get your facility up and running and to put down Ajax, once and for all.

Dean arranged everything that you needed. The Sky Raiders provided the psionic devices to put down Ajax, and Dean tricked Ajax into searching for you in Nerva. You arrived at Nerva with a clone of yours - flawed, but still somewhat useful - to deal with Ajax. Wyvern came prepared to back up Ajax, disabling the trigger for your device, but that didn't stop you from manually using them to assault Ajax's mind with intense psionic powers. Ajax, the hero attempting to reform the Rogue Isles, fell that day in Nerva. You tagged him with a device given to Dean by your mutual friend, who promised to keep Ajax out of your hair.

When you returned to Dean, you asked him who exactly took Ajax away. Dean admitted that he didn't know the man's name. He was only given a letter, which he had been told to give to you. There was no name on the letter, but it was written as if this person knew you. He spoke of time travel, a group called 'Ouroboros', a man named 'Mender Silos', and of a storm on the horizon.

Years later, that whole time capsule left by the Omega Team is opened, and BAM! Juicy info flows out of it, like nectar out of a nectar-flowing machine!

* {{green|Are you going to get to the point, Dean?}} {{orange|needs confirmation}}

Yeah! Totally, I'm getting there! I like to take things slowly babe, you know?

So this news spills out that Ajax is a good for nothing thug, yeah? {{orange|PPD puts out a warrant for his arrest in Paragon}}, but Ajax, he's smart, he hops over to chill in the Isles. But here's the problem. Now he's all about getting in people's business here, trying to lay down his law all up in this place.

{{orange|Word on the street is that Ajax is after folks like you supers, you dig?}}

I know for a fact, for a FACT, that he loves swooping in to stop robberies. {{orange|And I also happen to be having the info that a local jewelry store is pretty light on security right now.}}

======'''{{UL|Male}}'''======

Hey man, you wanted info? I GOT you some info. So check this juicy stuff out.

There's this hero, goes by the name of {{orange|'''Ajax'''}}. Guy was the last surviving member of the {{Orange|'''Omega Team'''}}. Crazy stuff right? Omega Team, they're the guys that went on that suicide mission to stop the Rikti in the first Rikti War.

Turns out Ajax was just a thug who killed the REAL Ajax and somehow got his powers of invulnerability! Man, if that's not juicy, I don't know what is. Can you believe all that?

Hey beautiful, how'd it go with taking down that Ajax guy? Is he out for the count?

Whoah, ''totally'' invulnerable? STILL?

Ah...man, I thought that magic wore off by now! Geez, I feel awful about that.

Let me make it up to you huh? How about a nice romantic dinner for two later?

But we've got a problem to handle huh? Let's see...I mean, there's gotta be something we can do about a guy who's totally invulnerable...maybe tie him down?

...oh! Right!

Yeah. Oh man, totally, that's a problem. For sure! Two of you walking around, going against each other, ...hold on. Need to imagine two of you first. ...okay. What? Okay, okay.

Yeah, I can see how this can be a problem.

Oh, yeah. Yeah! For sure. It's you and D-Mac on this, all the way!

So okay, this clone of yours, what did she look like?

H-haha, just kidding! Little...you know, just a little humor there.

Let me do some digging, see what I can find out, yeah?

Hrm...so...yeah. I'm still not sure what we're gonna do about this. I {{orange|missing text due to screenshot being obscured by a dropdown. Sorry}} ...other version of you running around?

That's not one of your secret powers, is it? Playing a trick here on old Dean?

Hey {{Character}}, how'd it go down?

While you were gone he tried roughing me up for info. Can you believe that?! Going after D-Mac?!

I told him some fake info though, that you'd be in Nerva.
