Captain Mako

Captain Mako is a villain contact in the ? neighborhood of Grandville. His origin is both Mutation and Natural. His level range is 40-44 as well as 45-50.

Information

Background

Captain Mako was born in Paragon City, where his parents could not cope with his extreme mutation and abandoned him to the city orphanage. The other children tormented him for his freakish appearance. This eventually led to several deaths, and young Mako disappeared. It is unknown what became of him for a time after this, though there had been vague reports of a shark-like creature in Independence Port.

He later appeared as a modern pirate working around the Rogue Isles before Lord Recluse claimed them. He was a member of the crew of a ship called the Black Powder, where he had quickly arose to the position of Captain. Mako and his crew initially fought against Lord Recluse's forces during the take-over, but was either coerced or bought off and joined Arachnos. He's been more than happy to continue working in Lord Recluse's employ since then. Recluse often uses Mako as an assassin and enforcer, sending him to make violent examples out of enemies of Arachnos. Mako's brutal murder of the original Scrapyard on the docks of Sharkhead Isle is a perfect example. Mako is a bloodthirsty predator capable of casual violence, but he still possesses a human intellect and should not be underestimated.

Mako has recently installed himself on Sharkhead Island shortly after he began to associate with the villainess Barracuda.

Trivia

• Mako only recently started using the title "Captain." Why is unknown, though Ghost Widow speculated that it was his (weak) attempt to appear more civilized. It may also have to do with his time as the captain of a pirate ship.
• Captain Mako tends to feud with Black Scorpion a lot.

Information

Arachnos Patron

Gideon Ray is a savage Mutant who has evolved into what only can be described as a humanoid shark. His acts are even more terrible than his appearance, and few foes are even identifiable once Mako is through with them. Mako is responsible for the death of Sharkhead Isle's most famous hero, Scrapyard.

Initial Contact

You know who I am. The great Captain Mako, hero of the Rogue Isles! I'm the one Recluse goes to when he's got a problem. Pray that you don't become a problem.

Rescue Arachnos operatives

Briefing

I've been told we got some problems in Paragon City. One of our secret Arachnos bases there has been discovered by Longbow, and they're trying to take down everyone there. Naturally, our operatives are resisting. I'd be happy to test our troop's survival instincts, but apparently there's a number of important Arachnos officers who need to survive this ordeal. That's where you come in. Head over to the Paragon City Arachnos base and get our Arachnos operatives out of there!

Raid Longbow base

Briefing

Those Longbow scum can't get away with raiding our Arachnos base - that's the third on this week! I want to find the Longbow agent responsible for these raids and make an example of him!

Our Arachnos spies have their uses - they intercepted some transmissions and managed to find the Longbow base where their raid was staged from. Take out everyone in that Longbow base and find who's heading up the anti-Arachnos operations!

Take out everyone. I don't want anyone escaping!

Template:Clue Operation Anti-Venom

These are files detailing many of the recent anti-Arachnos operations designed to root out hidden Arachnos bases in Paragon City and incarcerate their leaders. It is lead by the renowned Longbow Agent McKnight, who is quoted as saying, 'In time, we hope to show these criminals what it means to be a contributing part of a just society. It is our job as heroes to set an example for these wayward souls to aspire to. Failing that, we must use guile, deception and ruthlessness to uncover their activities and undermine their goals.'

Debriefing

Agent McKnight, eh? That name sounds familiar. We better look into this further.
