Rogue Arachnos

From Unofficial Homecoming Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Overview

Rogue Arachnos is an enemy faction. They are commonly found in Warburg. Established as a splinter faction of Arachnos, they are actively opposed to the "softly, softly" approach taken by Lord Recluse, and support Marshal Blitz. Given the threat that the rockets of Warburg present to the world, the Rogue Arachnos faction seek to use them to their full capabilities as weapons. As a result, members of Arachnos are forced to choose: to support Lord Recluse and resist launching the rockets and thus potentially plunging the world into thermonuclear war, or to use them as the threat and leverage they are to bend the world to the will of Marshal Blitz?

Marshal Blitz

Marshal Blitz

Main article: Marshal Blitz

Marshal Jason Blitz used to be the Arachnos Marshal for the isle of Warburg, one of the western-most Rogue Isles, and is today the de facto ruler of it. Marshal Blitz commands a contingent of Rogue Arachnos that took over Warburg and uses its rockets to threaten Paragon City.

Marshal Jason Blitz believed Lord Recluse wasn't acting fast enough in his bid to take over the world. He found it tragic that the Web had developed so many incredible weapons and none of them were being used on the hated heroes!

When Blitz learned he was dying of cancer, he decided to speed things up a bit so that he could live to see the defeat of Paragon City. He murdered Governor Melody Harkness and took over the city with a cadre of troops loyal to him. Soon after, he demolished the false faþade on the Warburg Rocket at the centre of his city and started firing warheads armed with various toxins at Paragon City.

Lord Recluse promised the UN he would rectify the situation, but his troops have so far been stalemated by their rivals. (or so Recluse claims.)
