Captain Mako

Captain Mako

Overview

Captain Mako is an Arch-villain who serves Arachnos under Lord Recluse.

Information

Description

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.

Background

Captain Mako's true origins are unknown. He first appeared as a modern pirate working around the Rogue Isles before Lord Recluse claimed them. 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.
• Captain Mako is the iconic Stalker.

Out of Game

Captain Mako is the nickname of Shane Hensley who is the lead writer for City of Villains. He was initially responsible for creating the zones, backstory, and new villains. Shane is perhaps best known for his roleplaying game Deadlands.
