You did an awesome job springin' [[Ace McKnight|McKnight]] from that Arachnos base. I guess a guy like McKnight knows secrets even Arachnos doesn't want getting out, eh?
You know those creepy Circle of Thorns? Well, I got a job for ya destroying one of those altars that they dance around. I guess they snatched the wrong person, and someone wants to make 'em pay! Here's the place where the Circle is holed up: {{Green|go into the caves and destroy the altar of Dryzzgor.}} We do this and my source promises a big payoff down the line.


McKnight gave me another hot tip if you're up for it. He found out who it was in Arachnos that's got it in for him, and wants him taken out. Invade the Arachnos and take out Arachnos Agent Dominic.

I screwed up bad, ''Character'' - real bad. [[Arachnos]] agents have already been snoopin' around here, askin' questions, tryin' to find that [[Ace McKnight|Longbow Agent McKnight]]. They don't know I was involved, at least not yet.
My source has been having [[Arachnos]] problems, and he wants a hurt put on 'em to show he means business. He found an Arachnos base in [[Paragon City]]. {{Green|Go into the Arachnos base an take down everyone.}}


They think they've tracked down McKnight to a warehouse they suspect has been converted to a temporary Longbow base! The problem is, if they capture McKnight, I'll be exposed as the McKnight pawn! I'll be ruined, ya hear me? Ruined! Sure, you might get off the Arachnos radar, but I'm screwed!
'''Mission Acceptance'''


P-please don't do this to me! If you do I'll have no future in the [[Rogue Isles]]!
There's a ship at the docks in the Devil's Coat Tails here on [[Cap au Diable]] which is heading to Paragon City soon. Once you get to the mainland, head over to the building housing the hidden Arachnos base and lay waste!

Information

Street Fixer

Everyone has heard about Willy 'Dealer' Wheeler. He's the guy who wants to hit it big, but hasn't - he's a little man with a big chip on his shoulder.

Lately, however, things have been different. Apparently Willy's got a new source with hot tips. Who knows? Maybe Willy has finally hit the big time.

Initial Contact

Y-you heard of me? I mean... of course you have! Willy 'Dealer' Wheeler - that's me! You want to hit the bit time, I can get you there! You need something dealt with, just call The Dealer! That's what they say! No, really!

Prior to Introduction

You heard of me? Well I ain't heard of you! Get lost! I don't deal with no one who doesn't come from Peter Themari!

Too Low Level

I have something, but you're not tough enough to deal with the Wheel. Come talk to me when you're Threat Level 15.

Greeting

  • Hey there, Character! Got some stuff for ya!
  • Ready to wheel and deal with the wheel-man?
  • Heya! Got something hot for ya!

Too Busy

You seem real busy already, Character.

No More Missions

I got nothin' for ya! Y'hear me? Nothin'!

Store

You're okay by me, Character! Here! Take my number! You need some Enhancements, buddy? I got 'em!

  • Level 20 Magic/Mutation Dual Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)

You and me, we're gonna hit the big time! Y'hear me? The big time! You need any Enhancements, I'm your guy!

This candy fell out of the hands of a defeated Longbow infiltrator in a story you like to call:

There's a Sucker Born Every Minute

It all started when your contact, Willie 'Dealer' Wheeler, called you up about a big problem. it seems most of Willy's jobs have originated from a source who has recently been taken captive by Arachnos forces. Willy losing his source meant no more jobs for you, so you decided to free Willy's source, a man known as Ace McKnight.

McKnight wanted Willy to find someone to take out the Arachnos agent that was coming after him - which was where you came in. Attacking the Arachnos base, it was discovered McKnight was actually a Longbow agent that Arachnos had been tracking for months. Worst of all, Arachnos thought you were in league with Longbow as well!

Willy Wheeler pleaded with you not to go after McKnight, because interrogation of the Longbow agent would reveal Willy as the dupe who had been unwittingly setting up all these jobs for Longbow.

Notes

- The Debriefing sounds like if there would be a Clue somewhere in this mission: there is not, and the only clue linking McKnight with Longbow is the aggro message of Operative Dominic.

Capture McKnight

Briefing

I screwed up bad, Character - real bad. Arachnos agents have already been snoopin' around here, askin' questions, tryin' to find that Longbow Agent McKnight. They don't know I was involved, at least not yet.

They think they've tracked down McKnight to a warehouse they suspect has been converted to a temporary Longbow base! The problem is, if they capture McKnight, I'll be exposed as the McKnight's pawn! I'll be ruined, ya hear me? Ruined! Sure, you might get off the Arachnos radar, but I'm screwed!

P-please don't do this to me! If you do I'll have no future in the Rogue Isles!

Besides! McKnight is WAY too tough for you to take alone!

So I've been setting up this Willy 'Dealer' Wheeler to take out villain targets through his pet thug, Character.

All of a sudden, Character comes bursting in and start busting heads!
Ha ha! I'm SO glad I managed to fool them! It came in VERY handy!
Hey, look! It's Character!
How's it going, buddy?
Let me introduce you to my friends in Longbow.
Ace McKnight dialogue

Debriefing

N-no! When Arachnos interrogates McKnight, they'll found out he's been working through me!

You ruined me, Character! Who's gonna trust ol' Willy Wheeler now? Get away from me! Just go away!
