An Arachnos lab assistant who found herself immolated in an accident that granted her control over fire and flame, Colleague worked tirelessly for Arachnos for years until she was approached by Positron, who sought to convince her to become an agent working for the Freedom Phalanx. After evaluating her options, she chose to pursue his offer and has been working for the Freedom Phalanx ever since, diligently feeding secrets to the heroes of Paragon City. A recent crackdown within Arachnos has Colleague thinking of officially going straight, but before she makes that leap, she is working with the Hammers of Justice and using her Arachnos connections to help its agents infiltrate top secret labs.

Network

Main Article: Network

Network started his 'career' as a bookkeeper for The Family, until a fateful day on which he came across a powerful 'information suit' while cataloging the contents of a 'recovered' cargo container. This suit tied his mind directly into information networks around the world, giving him the bandwidth to accumulate unmatched resources within the organization and make a real name for himself. Eventually, he came across information that made him look at his employers in a new light and reconsider his role with them. This discovery drove him to offer his services to Sgt. Schorr, the leader of the Hammers of Justice, an organization whose secrets he had already learned through the information acquired through his suit.
