Formed in 1938 by the fascists Requiem, Vandal and Nosferatu, the '''5th Column''' is an organization that has gone through a great deal of change. From their early days fighting the [[Historical Heroes and Villains#1st Hero Brigade|First Hero Brigade]] to their rebirth during the [[Rikti War|Rikti Invasion]], they have always been one of the most insidious threats in [[Paragon City]]. It's truly ironic that their biggest defeat was at the hands of enemies from within. The Center and his Council cronies beat the 5th Column at their own game, or so it would appear. Not all the loyalists were subsumed by the Council's takeover, and it's only a matter of time before a strong leader brings the 5th Column back to power.

Line 9: Line 9:
The '''5th Column''' was one of the most powerful villain groups in the world.  Shortly after [[Issue 3]] went live, the [[Council]] completed a hostile takeover where the war spilled over into the streets of Paragon City.  Any 5th Column members that didn't join the Council were killed or went into hiding.  All of the arch-villains in the 5th Column joined with the Council.  This included their leader, [[Requiem]], as well as [[Nosferatu]] and [[Vandal]].

Though the villain group was effectively removed with the introduction of the Council in Issue 3, they have made a reappearance with [[Issue 11]]. During "The Ouroboros Initiation" story arc given by [[The Pilgrim]], The 5th Column appear as the enemy group when the player travels back in time 15 years. Building upon their re-introduction here, the 5th Column made a somewhat more relevent appearance in [[Issue 12]] when they acted as the power behind [[Romulus Augustus]]'s sudden rise to power. During the course of the [[Imperious Task Force]] it becomes apparent that the Column is far from defunct; they have simply gone underground into the mists of time, establishing what Requiem refers to as "temporal fortresses" throughout time.
5th Column banners could still be seen during this period in certain [[Portal Corporation]] missions when traveling to [[Council]]-controlled alternate Earths, on buildings along with the Council insignia.

5th Column banners also still occur in certain [[Portal Corp]] missions when traveling to Council controlled earths, where the 5th Column banner can be seen on buildings along with the Council insignia.
In [[Issue 15]], the 5th Column came back again in a [[Task Force]] [[Dr. Kahn Task Force|for heroes]] and a [[Strike Force]] [[Barracuda Strike Force|for villains]], where an [[Reichsman|old enemy]] returned.


It was recently announced that in [[Issue 15]], Heroes and Villains would get their own [[Task Force]]/[[Strike Force]] which would be centered around the 5th Column.[http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/game_updates/issue_15/issue_15_overview.html]
In [[Issue 16]], the 5th Column came out of hiding. They once again roam the streets of [[Paragon City]], as well as appearing in the [[Rogue Isles]], often seen fighting with [[Council]] members for dominance.

Before they were taken over by the [[Council]], The Fifth Column stood as the last remaining threat from World War II, a group of super powered fascists still fighting a war the rest of the world left behind fifty years ago. The Fifth Column has the nefarious distinction of actually triggering the United States' involvement in the war against Nazi Germany. Hitler first sent the covert super team to Paragon City in 1939, tasked with spying on and sabotaging US shipping and naval development.

''Levels: 1-4''
Every member of the 5th Column aspires to become one of the Raserei Ubermenschen, but few of them achieve this lofty goal.

Nebel Elites receive first stage super soldier serum that improves their physical prowess to the level of Olympic athletes.

As a child, Vincenzo Alferi dreamed of becoming a great composer, but those dreams were shattered when he lost his hearing due to a car accident. The 5th Column offered to perform a radical experiment that might restore his hearing, and Vincenzo agreed without hesitation. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. An [[Arachnos]] attack on the facility resulted in a power surge at the worst possible moment. Instead of restoring him, the resulting explosion created a permanent resonance in Vincenzo's body. He agreed to join the 5th Column if they would give him the opportunity for vengeance against Arachnos.

[[File:Vandal2.jpg|thumb|125px|{{center|Vandal}}]]
''Main Article:'' [[Vandal]]


A high-ranking Nebel Elite Unteroffizier is a force to be reckoned with. His increased physical prowess is now matched by improved tactical skills and the steely resolve of a combat veteran. The super soldier serum and attendant propaganda have left the soldier utterly devoted to the 5th Column's cause. He is willing to follow any orders, and he seldom worries about the messy consequences.
The fiend known as Vandal was once a humble tinkerer named Othman Doul. In the late 1930's, the villain [[Requiem]] recognized Doul's usefulness and recruited him to the nascent 5th Column. Othman was happy to oblige, since it meant he could indulge his scientific curiosity without restraint. Over the years, Vandal has mechanically augmented himself to prolong his lifespan. Now, he seeks to advance his own position within the 5th Column and perhaps even challenge Requiem for supremacy.

The Nacht Unteroffizier have completed their covert ops training and are on the verge of being promoted to Elite status.

Unteroffizier are often tasked with leading squads of Nacht soldiers on raids to raise the funds for the 5th Column.

A Nacht Elite at the peak of his game may earn the rank of Unteroffizier, and with it a large upgrade in super soldier serum. He is in the verge of Ubermensch status, and his mind has becomed focused with laser-like intensity. High ranking Elites are some of the best shots and most dedicated insurgents in the world. They can, and have, assasinated heads of state as well as world famous heroes.

''Powers''
Few truly appreciate the genius of Nosferatu's super soldier program, and none more so than himself. Nosferatu was so entranced by his ability to create the super strong Vampyri that he became one of them. He has since improved upon his original design by granting himself several new abilities. He can mesmerize his opponents, leaving them helpless. Some say he can even siphon off the life force of his foes.

===== Nacht Ubermensch Unteroffizier =====
Unlike their conterparts in the other branches of the 5th Column hierachy, the Nacht Ubermenschen Unteroffizier have considerable autonomy. The 5th Column feels that the subversive activities that fall within the Nacht's purview require a certain ammount of independence. This makes the Nacht Ubermenschen quite unpredictable at times - and thus, quite deadly.

===== Mk I Wolfpack Robot =====
Ridolfo Uzzano has come a long way from his humble beginning as one of Mussolini's lapdogs. The primary cause of his success was his fusion with a [[Nictus]], a being of utter darkness. The Nictus gave Ridolfo the ability to scorch his foes with an infernal fire. Though he is now over 100 years old, Requiem remains a fearsome foe in battle.
The Mk I Wolfpack robot has been favorably compared to a battle tank when it comes to both firepower and resilience. The big difference is that the Mk I is controlled by an ingenious artificial intelligence that can capably command troops in the field. It carries enough firepower to take out heavily armored targets, and its own armor stands up to anything less than an anti-tank weapon.

As a child, Vincenzo Alferi dreamed of becoming a great composer, but those dreams were shattered when he lost his hearing due to a car accident. The 5th Column offered to perform a radical experiment that might restore his hearing, and Vincenzo agreed without hesitation. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. An [[Arachnos]] attack on the facility resulted in a power surge at the worst possible moment. Instead of restoring him, the resulting explosion created a permanent resonance in Vincenzo's body. He agreed to join the 5th Column if they would give him the opportunity for vengeance against Arachnos.

Overview

5th Column Logo.jpg

Formed in 1938 by the fascists Requiem, Vandal and Nosferatu, the 5th Column is an organization that has gone through a great deal of change. From their early days fighting the First Hero Brigade to their rebirth during the Rikti Invasion, they have always been one of the most insidious threats in Paragon City. It's truly ironic that their biggest defeat was at the hands of enemies from within. The Center and his Council cronies beat the 5th Column at their own game, or so it would appear. Not all the loyalists were subsumed by the Council's takeover, and it's only a matter of time before a strong leader brings the 5th Column back to power.


In-game storyline:

The 5th Column was one of the most powerful villain groups in the world. Shortly after Issue 3 went live, the Council completed a hostile takeover where the war spilled over into the streets of Paragon City. Any 5th Column members that didn't join the Council were killed or went into hiding. All of the arch-villains in the 5th Column joined with the Council. This included their leader, Requiem, as well as Nosferatu and Vandal.

5th Column banners could still be seen during this period in certain Portal Corporation missions when traveling to Council-controlled alternate Earths, on buildings along with the Council insignia.

Though the villain group was effectively removed with the introduction of the Council in Issue 3, they have made a reappearance with Issue 11. During "The Ouroboros Initiation" story arc given by The Pilgrim, The 5th Column appear as the enemy group when the player travels back in time 15 years. Building upon their re-introduction here, the 5th Column made a somewhat more relevant appearance in Issue 12 when they acted as the power behind Romulus Augustus's sudden rise to power. During the course of the Imperious Task Force, it becomes apparent that the Column is far from defunct; they have simply gone underground into the mists of time, establishing what Requiem refers to as "temporal fortresses" throughout time.

In Issue 15, the 5th Column came back again in a Task Force for heroes and a Strike Force for villains, where an old enemy returned.

In Issue 16, the 5th Column came out of hiding. They once again roam the streets of Paragon City, as well as appearing in the Rogue Isles, often seen fighting with Council members for dominance.

Background

Before they were taken over by the Council, The Fifth Column stood as the last remaining threat from World War II, a group of super powered fascists still fighting a war the rest of the world left behind fifty years ago. The Fifth Column has the nefarious distinction of actually triggering the United States' involvement in the war against Nazi Germany. Hitler first sent the covert super team to Paragon City in 1939, tasked with spying on and sabotaging US shipping and naval development.

In 1941, as the navy's Atlantic Fleet mustered in Paragon Harbor with a convoy of supply vessels destined for England, the Fifth Column struck. The attack force destroyed dozens of ships and injured thousands before they withdrew into hiding. The Nazi spies spent the rest of the war wreaking havoc up and down the Eastern seaboard, fighting countless skirmishes with America's own heroes. Under the leadership of the ruthless and deadly Requiem, the Fifth Column killed hundreds and cost the US millions in war materials. In the closing months of the war they became desperate and careless, and heroes like The Statesman brought most of the covert cadre to justice.

Under the leadership of its founder and former leader Requiem, they spent the next several decades building its resources and power base. There is some evidence that the group helped incite social discord and fostered criminal groups across the country. These activities provided the Fifth Column with a continual supply of new recruits and funds for research.

It is only in the months after the end of the Rikti Invasion, that the Fifth Column resurfaced. An individual claiming the name and authority of the war criminal Requiem appeared to be in charge and may in fact be the same person who originally led the group. He has declared all out war on the United States and Paragon City in particular. The group operates out of underground bases and safe houses secreted throughout the city. Thus far, attacks have generally been aimed at frightening the population and disrupting the city's infrastructure. Captured Fifth Column soldiers have revealed little about their organization's plans except that Requiem has only begun to unfold his intentions for the city.

Current rumors are circulating that the 5th Column will rise again. Even if this was true, under whose leadership will it be?

Vandal

Vandal

Main Article: Vandal

The fiend known as Vandal was once a humble tinkerer named Othman Doul. In the late 1930's, the villain Requiem recognized Doul's usefulness and recruited him to the nascent 5th Column. Othman was happy to oblige, since it meant he could indulge his scientific curiosity without restraint. Over the years, Vandal has mechanically augmented himself to prolong his lifespan. Now, he seeks to advance his own position within the 5th Column and perhaps even challenge Requiem for supremacy.
