Mission:A Hero's Epic - The Final Chapter: Rescue Positron

The Final Chapter: Rescue Statesman

A few years back when we first uncovered Praetoria, Statesman was kidnapped by Tyrant and held in bonds. We had a theory that Statesman and Tyrant were nearly identical and that lead us to believe that Statesman was powerless to their technology. What a load of bunk that turned out to be! We thought those bonds held him because of that theory, but we recently deduced that those bonds themselves are powered by the Praetorian Well of the Furies. They are the only thing in the multi-verse that can hold an Incarnate like Statesman.

If Emperor Cole is keeping Statesman alive, he'll have him in those exact same bonds. It's the only way he can keep him from escaping. If that's truly the case, we know exactly where to portal you in to save him.

• Free Statesman

I doubt Emperor Cole will show his face at this point, but the guards he will have placed will be very powerful. Good luck.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Paragon City needs Statesman, Character! And Statesman needs you!

Manticore, Olympian Guard & Statesman dialogue

After rescuing Statesman

Statesman: Thank you, Character. I trust that you stopped that Clockwork version of me? I think we've not been taking the Praetorian threat serious enough. It's time to change that.

Debriefing

You did it, Character! Statesman has been rescued! Character, I don't think I've ever been so proud!

Statesman sent this cape to you. He believes that you were insturmental in stopping a Praetorian invasion, something he and the Freedom Phalanx couldn't have done without your lead. Statesman isn't careless with his praise, Character; it seems pretty clear to me that he thinks the world of you.

Completing this mission awards the badge Statesman's Pal.

Statesman's Pal You have rescued Statesman from the clutches of Praetoria.
