Villain (Alignment)

Overview

Villain is a step in the alignment process. Players can start as villains, or switch sides with their hero. It is also one of two possible final steps in a Praetorian character advancing.

Becoming a Villain

• A player can create a Level 1 Villain by selecting Villain as the alignment choice at the time of character creation. The new Villain will begin play in The Rogue Isles.

Any non-Praetorian character can switch alignment immediately by speaking to Null the Gull.

Alternatively, at Level 20, a Hero can begin the process of becoming a Vigilante. A Vigilante can then work to become a Villain.

• At the conclusion of its Praetorian story arcs, a player character of either the Loyalist and Resistance alignments make a choice to become either a Hero or a Villain.

• Brutes, Corruptors, Dominators, Masterminds, Stalkers, Arachnos Soldiers and Arachnos Widows created prior to Going Rogue will automatically be aligned as a Villain.

Villains can enter The Crucible and may convert Reward Merits into Alignment Merits. They will not be awarded the Countdown to Frenzy power until they reconfirm their alignment by completing a Morality Mission or switch alignment back to Villain from some other alignment.
