Tobias Hansen has been around [[Striga Island]] for quite some time, but you wouldn't know it to look at him.  According to local legend, 'Old Toby' was already the vicar when [[the Family]] started setting up shop here in the 1920s.  No one can explain the strange youth of Tobias and his twin brother, [[Lars Hansen|Lars]], although many suspect it has something to do with the [[Council|Council's]] genetic experimentation.  One thing is certain: Tobias makes no bones about his desire to shut the Council down, once and for all.  So far the Council hasn't struck back at Tobias, but it may only be a matter of time.

Tobias Hansen looks like a teenager, but talks like a grandfather. He and his [[Lars Hansen|brother]] have long sought to take down the [[Council]], you had no idea just 'how' long they had been trying to do this. You helped them put the hurt on the  Council, rescued some kidnapped gentilities and destroyed a large number of the [[Transformation Capsule|Vampyr Transformation Chambers]].
 
Things got interesting when you met up with the witch [[Stephanie Peebles]] and you used her [[Warwolf Whistle|magic whistle]] to get you into Vampyr Mountain once again. Tobias wanted you to get an old heirloom of his. Turns out it was a journal from the 1940s, written by Tobias himself. He writes of the experiments performed by the Council on him and his brother. The pages had stains of tears and blood on them. As you read through it you find it impossible that anyone could survive, but somehow the Hansen brothers did.

The [[Council]] is up to some sick experiments up on that mountain, and I've learned that they're not alone.  They've managed to kidnap several of [[Paragon City|Paragon City's]] best geneticists, and they're being forced to help with the Council's [[Vampyri|vampyr]] transformation process.  Take it from me, we cannot leave these people in the Council's hands.  '''You will have to rescue the scientists from the Council.'''

Have you ventured deep into the Bonny Morass, {{Character}}?  It can be a frightening place.  The [[vampyri]] are firmly in control of Vampyr Mountain, and the [[Banished Pantheon]] roam the woods.  It is a place not fit for man nor beast, but I'm going to send you there anyway.  I have to.  '''If we are ever to reclaim Striga Isle, we must push the monsters back into their holes!'''

Information

Vicar

Tobias Hansen has been around Striga Island for quite some time, but you wouldn't know it to look at him. According to local legend, 'Old Toby' was already the vicar when the Family started setting up shop here in the 1920s. No one can explain the strange youth of Tobias and his twin brother, Lars, although many suspect it has something to do with the Council's genetic experimentation. One thing is certain: Tobias makes no bones about his desire to shut the Council down, once and for all. So far the Council hasn't struck back at Tobias, but it may only be a matter of time.

Prior to Introduction

Return to Vampyr Mountain

Tobias Hansen looks like a teenager, but talks like a grandfather. He and his brother have long sought to take down the Council, you had no idea just 'how' long they had been trying to do this. You helped them put the hurt on the Council, rescued some kidnapped gentilities and destroyed a large number of the Vampyr Transformation Chambers.

Things got interesting when you met up with the witch Stephanie Peebles and you used her magic whistle to get you into Vampyr Mountain once again. Tobias wanted you to get an old heirloom of his. Turns out it was a journal from the 1940s, written by Tobias himself. He writes of the experiments performed by the Council on him and his brother. The pages had stains of tears and blood on them. As you read through it you find it impossible that anyone could survive, but somehow the Hansen brothers did.

Rid the mausoleum of the Banished Pantheon

Briefing

Are you familiar with the reanimated monsters known as the Banished Pantheon? I certainly am. They've been digging up my churchyard, haunting the Morass, and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Yesterday I located a mausoleum full of the creatures. Will you rid the mausoleum of these dread creatures?

Mission Acceptance

There was a time when I would have gone with you, Character, but I'm afraid those days are behind me now.

Take with you these holy shotgun shells. They should help you defeat the Banished Pantheon.

Temporary Power

You will receive the Holy Shotgun Shells upon accepting the mission.

Power

Ranged (Cone), Moderate Damage (Lethal), Special Damage vs. Banished Pantheon, Foe Knockback

Tobias Hansen gave you these holy shotgun shells to aid you in your efforts against the Banished Pantheon. These blessed shotgun shells do extra damage to Undead villains. Use them wisely, for you have only 75 shells.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That mausoleum is still crawling with the undead.

Mission Objective(s)

A low, sickening groan meets your ears.

  • Defeat all zombies in mausoleum
    • 3 people to save

You have cleared the mausoleum of the Banished Pantheon.

Enemies

Banished Pantheon

Notable NPCs

Hostages dialogue
Totem dialogue

Debriefing

We're lucky, Character. I had no idea the Pantheon had got their hands on some human sacrifices! All I can say is, thank heaven you were there to stop their mad rituals.


Rescue the scientists from the Council

Briefing

The Council is up to some sick experiments up on that mountain, and I've learned that they're not alone. They've managed to kidnap several of Paragon City's best geneticists, and they're being forced to help with the Council's vampyr transformation process. Take it from me, we cannot leave these people in the Council's hands. You will have to rescue the scientists from the Council.

Mission Acceptance

The Council's vampyr process is impressive, but they're always looking to improve upon it. I don't want those scientists forced to help them along.

Unnecessary Solicitation

There are innocents in the hands of the Council! I'm counting on you to set them free.

Mission Objective(s)

This lab is kept dark, a nod to the vampyri's enhanced vision.

  • Rescue scientists from vampyri
    • 4 scientists to save

You rescued the scientists from the Council.

Enemies

Council

Note: Council forces will consist almost entirely of Vampyri for this mission.

The scientist's story

One of the scientists you rescued told you:

'They forced us to do the most terrible things! I don't think they would have ever let us go!'

Debriefing

I'm grateful, Character. Perhaps more grateful than you can imagine. You see, I have some personal experience with the Council. I don't talk about is much, but you've shown me why you're the kind of hero I can trust. Maybe I'll let you in on my secret before too long.

Help Tobias reclaim Striga Isle

Briefing

Have you ventured deep into the Bonny Morass, Character? It can be a frightening place. The vampyri are firmly in control of Vampyr Mountain, and the Banished Pantheon roam the woods. It is a place not fit for man nor beast, but I'm going to send you there anyway. I have to. If we are ever to reclaim Striga Isle, we must push the monsters back into their holes!

Mission Acceptance

I believe in you, Character. I believe you have what it takes to drive the unholy from Striga Isle.

Ambush! After accepting the mission, there will be an ambush by Council.

I'm counting on you to help me clear the Bonny Morass.

Thank you, hero. I know more about the monsters of this island than any other you will encounter. If you will continue to help me, there is a chance that you will learn more.

Stop the Banished Pantheon from contacting the spirit world

Banished Pantheon portal

Briefing

How much do you know about the Banished Pantheon, Character? Do you know that they are constantly seeking a connection to the spirit world? Well, they are. And according to my sources, they may have just succeeded. Someone's got to stop the Banished Pantheon from contacting the spirit world, Character. If not, the world we know may soon not be worth living in.

Mission Acceptance

The foul zombies have created a portal with which to contact the denizens of the spirit world. Destroy that portal, or we will all suffer the consequences.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The longer that portal remains open, the less likely it can ever be closed.

Debriefing

Thanks to you, I can sleep easy tonight. The things of the spirit world are not dangers to take lightly. No indeed. They are far more wicked and depraved than any champion of right can truly understand. I will need your help to fight them. And you will need mine.


Destroy the vampyr lab

Vampyri transformation chamber

Briefing

Have you ever seen one of the labs where the vampyri are created? I have. The Council has built these massive transformation chambers, in which the vampyr candidates are grown into the super soldiers that terrorize Striga Isle. Now here's the good part: I've learned to location of one of these labs. I've been waiting years for a break like this! I need you to destroy that vampyr lab and every scrap of equipment inside.

Mission Acceptance

Those labs cost the Council millions. Take out this one, and you'll really kick them where it hurts.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need that lab taken out, and quickly.

Archon Snyder dialogue

Debriefing

Well done, my friend! The Council will no doubt be reeling from their losses today. This message you found troubles me, however; it seems the Council is working on some new and nefarious scheme. Together, we will have to get to the heart of it.

Retrieve Tobias' heirloom from Vampyr Mountain

Briefing

I have need of your assistance, Character. I have located an old heirloom of mine, but I cannot retrieve it alone. You see, it is within Vampyr Mountain. If you would do me this personal favor, I believe I can open up Striga's secrets for you. Will you retrieve my heirloom from Vampyr Mountain?

Mission Acceptance

First you should go to see the island witch, Stephanie Peebles. She cooked up a spell that may assist you.

Archon Zyver dialogue
Clue
Toby's journal

This journal, written on rough, pulpy pages, catalogues the deeds of a pair of young adventurers called Lars and Tobias Hansen. In 1946, they investigated a strange Italian cabal known only as the Council. Unfortunately, they were discovered and fell prey to the Council's fledgeling experiments in human augmentation. As a result, they have not aged since that day.

Debriefing

I don't know how to thank you. There aren't a lot of people I allow to know about my past on Striga Isle; only those I trust, like my brother and yourself. You've proved that you're a true hero with the wherewithal to seek the truth no matter what you must face. I think you should meet my brother, Lars Hansen. If there's anyone who knows about secrets, it's him.

Missions

Clear out some of the Council agents in the Bonny Morass

Briefing

Do you see that mountain off in the distance, Character? People around these parts call it Vampyr Mountain. It's home to the Council's deadliest soldiers, the vampyri. They're genetically enhanced super soldiers, and they're more than a little scary. I'd like you to go out into the Bonny Morass and see if you can clear out some of the vampyri and their human companions. But be careful, Character. They are the deadliest of men.

I know more about the vampyri than you might guess, Character. Stick with me and you'll learn a few things.

Council

Debriefing

I have to admit, Character, that was a test. I wanted to see whether you had the mettle for the tasks that lie ahead. I'm sure you realize that you passed with flying colors; there's not another hero I'd more readily trust with Striga's future.
