Level 20-24
Have you ever read any of Jim Bell's articles in the paper? He's a great reporter who's been doing a lot of articles on the Tsoo and the Warriors. Jim has access to Training Enhancements.
Jim is outspoken and opinionated, but he is extremely well informed.
Claire Childress is as much a part of the spirit world as our own. Some say she's flighty, but there are few in Paragon City who can provide more aid to one who seeks to battle the Freakshow or the Family. Claire has access to Training Enhancements.
Listen closely to her words; they may contain more information than you realize.
I'd love for you to meet Polly Cooper. She's a coordinator for the Civil Air Patrol, and she knows a lot about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Polly has access to Training Enhancements.
Miss Cooper is very skilled at her job and should prove to be a valuable asset to you.
I know a guy named Kevin Cordell who runs a small security consulting business. He's heard about you and would like to talk sometime about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Kevin used to be a hero, and he still has access to Training Enhancements.
Kevin is not easily impressed, but I think you will do just fine with him, Character.
I'd like you to meet Oswald Cuthbert. He's a probation officer and thus has a lot of contact with the sordid side of Paragon City. He often uses heroes like you to help him out with the Sky Raiders and the Council. Oswald can get you Training Enhancements.
Good choice, Character, and good hunting
Do you ever read Dennis Ewell's columns? He's quite a writer, and he told me he'd like your help taking out the Tsoo and the Warriors. Dennis has access to Training Enhancements.
Dennis isn't convinced that the heroes of Paragon City are much better than the villains, but he is coming around.
Wil Eziquerra is an excellent reporter who specialized in stories on the Sky Raiders and the Council. His sources usually keep him stocked up with Training Enhancements.
Wil is going to be a great resource for you, Character.
I have to admit that Georgia Fields doesn't have the best reputation. No one really knows how she gets her information, but she's an excellent source on the Sky Raiders and the Lost. She is usually able to get her hands on training enhancements.
If you are careful, Georgia can be of great assistance to you.
I think you should meet Andrew Fiore. Not only can he sell you quality electronics, but he's got information about lots of less savory business deals. He's helped more than a few heroes, especially with information about the Freakshow and the Family. Andrew has a lot of sources that give him access to Training Enhancements.
Andrew is a businessman first, but it's in his best interest to keep the heroes he works with up to date on information.
There's an amazing guy named Tyler French who runs a youth sports program; it keeps troubled teens off the streets. He hears a lot and likes to help heroes out, especially with the Tsoo and the Warriors. Tyler has access to Training Enhancements.
Tyler is really great for the kids, Character. Help him out however you can.
I think you should talk to Vic Garland. He's a civil rights activist who's doing some important work against the Freakshow. He's also more than a little curious about the Family. He could really use your help. Vic has access to Training Enhancements.
Vic is uncompromising and fiercely loyal.
I've been asked to introduce you to Lt. Gosford from the Paragon City Police Department. He runs a special unit that is focused on bringing down the Sky Raiders and the Council. Gosford's connections within the department give him access to Training Enhancements.
Gosford is used to working with heroes. You will get along fine.
My friend Justin Greene has asked to see you. He's a coordinator for his local community watch group. He used to be a hero, so he knows how to help you clean up groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. Justin has access to Training Enhancements.
I think Justin will like you a great deal, Character.
Detective Rondel Jackson is a great guy to talk to if you want the police perspective on groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. He's also the one to talk to if you need Training Enhancements.
Detective Jackson is a hardworking straight-shooter. He won't steer you wrong.
If you ever have a computer problem or want a lead on some computer related crime, you should talk to Justine Kelly. She's a whiz at technical stuff and a bit of an online hero in her own right. Lately she has been focusing her attention on the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Justine has access to Training Enhancements.
Justine is a very skilled young lady.
There's a noted weapons expert named Jake Kim who's in town trying to stop the spread of illegal weaponry. He is focusing his efforts on the Freakshow and the Family. Jake has access to Training Enhancements.
Jake has a very specific agenda, but he can still help you clean up Paragon City.
The INS has a woman named Amanda Loomis who works well with heroes. She is trying to keep the Tsoo situation from turning any uglier than it already has, and she also has a deep interest in the Warriors. Amanda should be able to get you Training Enhancements.
Amanda likes to use metaphors, but she understands the realities of Paragon City all too well.
I've been asked to tell you that Lt. Colonel Hugh McDougal of the Pentagon's Hero Outreach Program would like to meet with you about the Freakshow and the Family. His military connections give him access to Training Enhancements.
This could provide excellent connections for you in the future, Character.
Melanie Peebles has the power to see things through her dreams. Her most recent dreams have been about the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Melanie has access to Training Enhancements.
Do not dismiss Melanie's guidance lightly.
Have you ever heard of Wilma Peterson from the Department of Waste Management? She's one of the folks in charge of disposing of hazardous waste, like Rikti technology. You should stop by and see her sometime; she's got her eye on the Freakshow and the Family right now. Wilma has access to Training Enhancements.
Treat Wilma with respect and you will have a solid contact.
I know a rather interesting fellow named Hinckley Rasmussen. He works as a researcher for the Midnight Squad and takes an interest in helping heroes like you fight the Tsoo and the Warriors. Hinckley has access to Training Enhancements.
He is a bit eccentric, but Hinckley knows his stuff.
I'd like you to meet Lt. Manuel Ruiz from the Gang Unit. He specializes in running undercover operations, and he's always looking for trustworthy individuals to help him out with the Tsoo and the Warriors. The department supplies Lt. Ruiz with Training Enhancements.
Lt. Ruiz has put a lot of gangers away himself; he can help you do the same.
I think you should talk to John Strobel from the Citizen Defense Coalition. It's a group of ex-military and law enforcement officers that helps heroes like you from time to time. Right now their attention is focused on the Sky Raiders and the Council. John has a few sources that can get him Training Enhancements.
John is very patriotic and somewhat idealistic, but he's got a keen eye for trouble.
I've been asked to keep this very quiet, but someone from the CIA wants to meet you. Her name is Kirsten Woods and she knows quite a bit about the Sky Raiders. She also thinks there may be more to the Lost than meets the eye. As a CIA operative, Agent Woods has access to Training Enhancements.
Keep a low profile when you are working with Kirsten.
Level 25-29
Have you ever worked with Miriam Bloechl, the psychic? She's quite talented and enjoys helping heroes with the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She has Training Enhancements.
Miriam's talent is very impressive; you will learn much from her.
Laura Brunetti could be a useful contact to you, Character. Her supernatural library is unmached, and she is an expert on the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. She has Training Enhancements.
Laura has a keen mind and loves to get to the bottom of things. I'm certain you will find work with her enlightening.
Information
Philanthropist
Cain Royce is the head of the Royce Foundation, which was started by his grandfather at the turn of the 20th Century. The foundation was originally a religious organization whose goal was to support African American churches through the financial and discriminatory challenges they suffered. However, Grandfather Royce soon faced a challenge he'd never anticipated. A foul cult of demon worshipers was preying on Paragon City's African American community. He turned all his resources to fighting this cult and, with the help of the whole community, succeeded. Ever since, the Royce Foundation has concentrated its resources on fighting malicious occult groups. Cain still works with the community, but he also coordinates the efforts of heroes in the fight against threats like the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns.
Prior to Introduction
I am sorry, but you and I have no business together. I think you should get in touch with Active Contact instead.

Badge Mission
Merit Rewards: This activity awards 7 Reward Merits through Flashback only.
Stop both groups of mystic madmen (20-24)
Briefing
A large number of pre-cognitives have been reporting visions of a nightmarish battle beneath the streets of the city. In these visions, the Banished Pantheon cultists battle the Circle of Thorns for control of some sort of mystic vortices that trap wandering spirits. And in these visions, you appear as well. Are you willing to face this vision and stop both of these groups of mystic madmen?
Mission Acceptance
I don't know the purpose of that vortex, but I have been told that you must close it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
That mystic energy spike is still going off in the sewers.
Mission Objective(s)
There is no wind down here, but something stirs the air around you. Every sense is on alert as you step into the edge of a spiritual tornado.
- Defeat all villains in sewer
- 3 spirit traps to destroy
You have brought an end to the battle between the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Spirit Trap x3
Badge
This mission earns a hero the Spirit Warrior Badge.
You stopped a war between the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns.
Debriefing
The Circle of Thorns and the Banished Pantheon are nightmares enough on their own; I'm impressed by your ability to battle their forces together. From what you heard, it seems that the Circle may have been trapping the spirits of the dead, then extracting information from them. Perhaps the Pantheon sought those same trapped spirits to slake their hungers.

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 14 Reward Merits.
The Wheel of Destruction (20-24)
Template:Mission StoryArc The Wheel of Destruction
Missions
Assist the Security Chief in Independence Port (24)
Briefing
Time to take a bite out of crime, Character. The Security Chief in Indy Port wants some help with those scumbags from the Family. Go lend him a hand.
Mission Acceptance
If you get a chance take a look at the Statue of Wavelength near the water. She was a speedster who fell in the Rikti War.
Assist the Security Chief
Unnecessary Solicitation
Help out the Security Chief with those Family goons.
Mission Objective(s)
- Assist the Security Chief
Here's some information on the area. We've been having a lot of trouble with the Family, especially in Crey Cove and Bell Point. I really need you to lend a hand.
This is where many brave heroes defended the city against an invading space armada back in the 50's. Paragon City renamed the area Independence Port, in honor of the heroes who died in that epic battle. You'll see the big statue of Cassiopeia by the bridge; she was one of the famous heroes who died in that fight. It's a shame that organized crime runs the docks nowadays. The Family pulls all the strings here, despite the best efforts of law enforcement.
Keep peace in Independence Port
Unnecessary Solicitation
Deal with the Family for the Security Chief.
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep peace in Independence Port
- Defeat 20 Family
You have defeated 25 Family thugs.
Enemies
Debriefing
Nice job helping clean up a historic zone, Character! Template:Mission Intro Assist the Talos Island Security Chief
Clear the Banished Pantheon out of Dark Astoria
Briefing
Though no one lives in Dark Astoria any more, there are still reports coming in from the few brave souls who are willing to venture into that haunted place. One of the more disturbing reports is that much of the zone is now overrun with walking dead controlled by the Banished Pantheon. If the city is ever to retake Dark Astoria, we'll need heroes like you to clear the Banished Pantheon out. Raimi Arcade and Toffet Terrace are completely overrun, though I think you can find cultists in any section of the zone.
Be cautious. Dark Astoria is a dangerous place. I'd recommend taking allies with you when you venture there.
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Pantheon in Dark Astoria
- Defeat 20 Banished Pantheon
You have decreased the number of Banished Pantheon cultists in Dark Astoria.
Debriefing
It may take years to get the Pantheon out of Dark Astoria, but with heroes like you on the case, it'll happen someday.
Curtail Circle rituals in Talos Island (22-26)
Briefing
The Circle's activities in Talos Island have grown more brazen and outrageous lately, and everyone is starting to fear for their lives. I'd like you to curtail some of their rituals in Talos Island. Circe Island and Eleusis are particularly overrun, but I'm sure you can find places all over the zone to take a stand against them.
Mission Acceptance
Good luck to you in this battle, Character. The city's hopes go with you.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I know that you can defeat the Circle's crazed mystics and diabolical creatures, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Circle in Talos Island
- Defeat 20 Circle Of Thorns
You have curtailed the Circle's activities in Talos Island.
Enemies
Debriefing
You've dealt a great blow to the Circle of Thorns' plans, Character. You have my thanks, and the city's thanks. Template:Mission Deliver Package to Stephanie Peebles
Find Suzanne Trent (20-23)
Briefing
In the wake of the Rikti War, there's been a resurgence of all kinds of mysticism. This has helped in some cases, even providing the city with new hope. But it has also caused a great deal of trouble. One new cult calls itself the Banished Pantheon. They have some sort of dark power; they can animate the dead and call spirits from beyond the grave! A reporter named Suzanne Trent was investigating them, but now she's gone missing. Please find Suzanne Trent as soon as possible.
Mission Acceptance
The creatures we have seen the most frequently have been dubbed Husks; they seem to be made from the animated bodies of the dead.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I am really counting on you to return Suzanne Trent to us safely.
Mission Objective(s)
Somewhere below, a woman's terrified screams echo in the darkness.
- Find Suzanne Trent
You have defeated the Banished Pantheon minions and rescued Suzanne Trent.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Suzanne Trent (NPC Hostage)
- Ventiir / A'Taar (Banished Pantheon Spirit of Pain)
Notes
- The name of the hostage varies. Possible names are Edith Frasier, Marion Ford and Suzanne Trent.
- Even though the name of the hostage can change, the name in the description of the temporary power received will be Suzanne Trent.
Temporary Power:
When you rescue Suzanne Trent, she will give you the Idol of Lughebu temporary power.
Melee, Moderate Damage, Negative, Self +Hit Points, Foe -Accuracy
When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she gave you this idol she found in the Pantheon's lair. While carrying it, you have the ability to drain the life from nearby foes, increasing your own Hit Points. The idol must be returned to the MAGI vault within 3 real days.
When you rescued Suzanne Trent, she said:
'I've seen a lot of horrible things since I started this investigation. This Banished Pantheon cult, they're inhuman! They worship some kind of lost god-like beings, horrible prehistoric entities that feed on pain. Their chief god is Lughebu, who demands that they learn about all beings of power. Here, take this idol I discovered. I have a feeling there's some sort of dark magic about it.
Debriefing
According to Suzanne Trent, the Banished Pantheon is investigating all beings of power. I must say, that phrase has an ominous ring to it. Depending on the definition, it could include heroes like yourself.
Find the missing class (22-25)
Briefing
Professor Black from Paragon University recently took an advanced class of geology students spelunking in the caves under the city. It's kind of a tradition for him, but this was the first time he's taken a class down since the Rikti War. According to the dean, that class hasn't reported back yet. Somebody's got to find that missing class. You only have 75 minutes to find the students.
Mission Acceptance
I'm worried about this class, Character. They were supposed to be back hours ago.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You must find Professor Black and his students.
Mission Objective(s)
A few sack lunches and a muddy textbook are the only signs that the missing students were ever here.
- Defeat lead mystic, his coven - 1:15:00
- 4 people to save
You defeated the Circle of Thorns and rescued Professor Black and his students.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Geology student x3 (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Professor Black/Smith/Jones (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Kalan/Mesanis/Orket (Circle of Thorns Soul Mage)
Notes
- The name of the Circle boss may vary. Possibilities include Kalan, Mesanis, and Orket.
- The name of the Professor may vary. Possibilities include Black, Smith, and Jones.
When you rescued Professor Black, he said:
'It was most extraordinary! We had found what looked to be some sort of earlier excavation. It was incredible. The huge caverns! The most amazing rock formations! There was a strange stone that looked as though it were some sort of petrified ice. We'd just located some sort of man-made stone work, when we were suddenly surrounded by those robed figures! It's a good thing you came along when you did!'
Debriefing
I wonder why the Circle attacked that class? Perhaps they were close to finding something the Circle didn't want anyone to know about? Regardless, the Professor and his students are safe. They have you to thank for that, Character.
Hit the streets and defeat a few Circle of Thorns mystics (20-24)
Briefing
The mysterious mystics of the Circle of Thorns have been appearing in greater numbers lately. I need you to hit the streets and defeat a few Circle of Thorns mystics in order to ensure the citizens' safety. I understand that numbers of them have been spotted in Talos Island, but I'm sure any zone in this city would welcome your help.
Mission Acceptance
You'd best keep your wits about you, Character. The Circle's mystics are dangerous foes.
Unnecessary Solicitation
The battle ahead may be long, but I have every confidence in you.
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Circle of Thorns menace
- Defeat 20 Circle of Thorns
You have discouraged the Circle of Thorns from threatening the citizens' safety.
Enemies
Debriefing
You have done very well, Character. The Circle is sure to know you're watching their every move.
Hit the streets and defeat a few Pantheon cultists (20-24)
Briefing
The Banished Pantheon have been spreading their dark forces over the city. People are afraid, and I understand why. I need a hero to hit the streets and defeat a few Pantheon cultists. They've been seen often on Talos Island, and I've heard that they still mill around the Dark Astoria Hazard Gate. I would not go in there at your current power, though. Evil has taken root there.
Mission Acceptance
Thanks for taking this on, Character. Be careful. The Pantheon is a powerful adversary.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Those Pantheon cultists are still roaming the streets. I need you to take care of that.
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Banished Pantheon menace
- Defeat 20 Banished Pantheon
You have decreased the number of Banished Pantheon cultists roaming the streets.
Enemies
Debriefing
The Pantheon cultists have grown fearsomely strong, Character. It's good that we have brave people like you who can fight them.
Recover the idols from the Banished Pantheon (22-25)
Briefing
There was a break-in at the Paragon City Museum. The thieves stole two items on loan to the museum from Mexico, stone idols to the Aztec gods Coatilcue and Tlaloc. One of the guards identified the thieves as members of the Banished Pantheon cult. Will you recover the idols from the Banished Pantheon? They probably have the idols under magical guard; you'll need a teammate to help break their spells of protection.
Mission Acceptance
I don't know the reason for the Banished Pantheon's interest in the old Aztec gods, but it can't bode well.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Those Aztec idols are still sacred to some. I really need you to get them back in one piece.
Mission Objective(s)
The ground of the tunnels is damp and water-logged, and you are struck by the smell of fresh earth.
- Defeat lead cultist, his coven
- 2 idols to recover simultaneously
You have recovered the missing idols.
Despite what the mission objective text says, the requirement to activate the objectives simultaneously was removed in Issue 25 allowing this task to be completed solo.
This idol is dedicated to the Aztec goddess Coatilcue, the Earth Mother.
This idol is dedicated to Tlaloc, the Aztec God of Rain.
Debriefing
Recovering those idols stopped a minor international incident, Character. From what you tell me, it sounds as though the Pantheon planned to feed on the spirits of those old Aztec gods. Fascinating. I cannot begin to fathom their motives.
Recover the armor from the Circle (20-25)
Briefing
There's been a break-in at the Paragon City Museum of History. The thieves made off with a large portion of the exhibit on the Spanish conquest of the new world. The centerpiece of the collection was the Armadura del Sol, a set of conquistador's armor said to be enchanted with the power of the sun. It has no magical powers now, but it's said that a mage could learn much from studying the armor. For this reason, I suspect the Circle of Thorns are behind the theft. Will you recover the armor from the Circle?
Mission Acceptance
The Armadura del Sol is composed of six pieces. You'll have to find and recover all of them to make sure the Circle's mystics can learn nothing from it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Find that mystical armor as soon as you can. I'm getting rather worried what the Circle's mystics may learn from it.
Mission Objective(s)
The air of these caverns feels unusually warm, almost as though the sun could penetrate their depths.
- Defeat lead mystic and his crew
- Find 6 pieces of the missing armor
You have found all the pieces of the Armadura del Sol.
This ancient conquistador's armor is said to contain the power of the sun itself. Though its magic has long since faded, it was once rumored to give its wearer the power to destroy an army.
Notable NPCs
- Alejas (Circle of Thorns Ruin Mage)
These magics of the Armadura are known to us. But they have been distorted somewhat.
Did you come for the Armadura, Hero? You will pay for your foolish interference!
Enemies
Do you think they know its power?
I have more than enough might to deal with you!
Your power is nothing to me!
Debriefing
Recovering the Armadura del Sol will have ramifications far beyond these city walls. You did the world a service today. The Armadura del Sol was said to have once been powerful enough to level a city. If the Circle truly understood its power, they must be a more fearsome foe than we had guessed. Template:Mission Intro See Siren's Call Liaison
Take the fight to the Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria
Briefing
Ever since Astoria became a hazard zone, few have dared to venture in there. Those that return report wandering hordes of Husks and Chambers animated by the dark powers of the Banished Pantheon. As long as they control the zone, it will be impossible for the city to retake that part of the city. I need you to take the fight to the Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria.
Mission Acceptance
You could start in Romero Heights or Dido's View. Those neighborhoods are especially overrun.
Unnecessary Solicitation
+++ Missing Information +++
Mission Objective(s)
- Combat Pantheon in Dark Astoria
- Defeat 20 Banished Pantheon
You have lessened the Banished Pantheon's hold on Dark Astoria.
Debriefing
Through your efforts and those of other heroes like you, Dark Astoria may one day be restored to the city. Thank you, Character.
