Level 5-9
You should think about talking to Detective Jose Brogan. He's pretty intense, but he's a great cop and a good person to know if you are looking for information on the Lost. His beat is Atlas Park.
Detective Brogan will let you in on some interesting cases.
I'd like you to meet Ron Hughes. He's a reporter, and lately he's been interested in the Skulls. Ron's magazine is located in Kings Row, so that's where he can be found.
Ron believes that science should be used for the good of all.
Juan Jimenez is a great photographer, and he's always got his ear to the ground. You should talk to him and see if he's following any big stories on the Skulls. Juan is currently covering a story in Kings Row.
Juan is always eager to help, and he knows where the action is.
Vic Johansson's good police. He'll steer you towards some interesting opportunities involving the Lost, and help smooth things over with law enforcement. His beat is Kings Row.
Vic is good people, Character. You will enjoy working with him.
You should consider introducing yourself to Laurence Mansfield. He is one of the more personable county coroners. He can be a very helpful resource on the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. He is located in Atlas Park.
Mansfield has a strange sense of humor sometimes.
You ever been to one of Samuel Pierce's parties? He's an event promoter, and he knows how to put on a good time. He also has a nose for trouble. You should meet him, see if he'll give you a tip on the Vahzilok. Mr. Pierce is promoting a new movie over in Kings Row.
Samuel is somewhat cavalier, but he wants the city cleaned up very badly.
There's an EMT named Paco Sanchez who'd like to meet you. He's not only great at his job, but he also works well with heroes, tipping them off whenever he sees something interesting going on with the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Paco can be found in Atlas Park.
Paco primarily cares about saving lives.
You should introduce yourself to Genevieve Sanders. She's a pharmacist with a heart of gold who does a lot of community work, and she loves to help heroes against the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Genevieve is near the hospital in Kings Row.
She is one of the nicest people I know.
There's a young reporter named Linda Summers who you might enjoy chatting with. She's always pursuing some crime related story, especially stories dealing with the Skulls. Linda's latest scoop has her in Kings Row.
Linda responds well to directness and fair treatment.
There's a detective who you should meet. Rachel Torres knows all about the happenings on the streets, and can probably give you good leads on the Lost. She can be located in Atlas Park.
Detective Torres is tough and efficient; you might learn a thing or two from her.
Have you heard of Hero Corps? They're a business that matches heroes up with jobs. There's a liaison named Henry Peter Wong there who's taking on new clients. You should chat with him about the Vahzilok menace. Hero Corps has Mr. Wong in Atlas Park.
Wong is pretty gung ho about Hero Corps; there's no denying that he will keep you busy.
Level 10-14
There's a gun dealer named Carla Brunelli who would like to meet you. She's a very responsible, proactive woman who's helped a number of heroes in her time. She is deeply troubled by the Clockwork. Their presence in Skyway City means that she can usually be found there.
Carla is tough but fair.
There's a talented young lawyer named Athena Currie who you should talk to. She's a big community activist and has had some serious run-ins with the Clockwork. Miss Currie practices law in Steel Canyon.
Athena can really use the help of a hero like you.
I know a lawyer, Everett Daniels, who's a pretty good guy. He goes after the big corporations and even the government sometimes, but he's usually on the right side of things. He's always got a lead on the Clockwork. Mr. Daniels' practice is in Skyway City.
Everett will get you into the thick of things.
Information
Defense Systems Entrepreneur
Tony Kord moved to Paragon City after the Rikti War. A competent engineer and a brilliant businessman, he hopes to make a name for himself as a purveyor of high tech defense systems for heroes and police. His team of talented researchers is hard at work building newer, better weapons designed for use against particular criminal groups. The right tool for the right job, he's fond of saying. He often works with new heroes, providing them tips in exchange for help testing his equipment. Right now he's focused on relatively minor threats like the Clockwork King, but he hopes to expand his business tremendously in the next few years.

Not sure I am ready to do business with you. You should speak to Active Contact instead.

You show a lot of promise, my friend. I wish Paragon City had more heroes like you. My researchers have just churned out some new gadgets. I'd like you to be the first to benefit. You run into trouble, just call.
You are doing an excellent job. I think I can trust you with some more difficult assignments. You'll need to be fully geared up before you tackle these cases.

Hurry, before the situation endangers the public! Time is of the essence!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Tick, tock! That situation in Kings Row is coming to a head, get on it!

Missions
Discourage the Clockwork scavenging in Kings Row (5-9)
Briefing
This Clockwork scavenging is becoming a real problem in Kings Row. Those little metal menaces are taking street lamps, sewer grates, and everything else they can get their mitts on. I need you to discourage the Clockwork scavenging in Kings Row. Otherwise, that whole zone is going to turn into a death trap!

Royal Refinery and Freedom Plaza are particularly overrun, but I'm sure any neighborhood in the zone would welcome your assistance.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Those Clockwork aren't going to stop tearing up Kings Row of their own accord.

- Defeat 10 Clockwork
You have discouraged the Clockwork from scavenging in Kings Row.
Enemies
Debriefing
Kings Row is a lot safer now, thanks to you.
Go to Castenada Export locate any clues you can and shut down the Clockwork plot (5-10)
Briefing
We've got reports of some Clockwork down at the old abandoned Castenada Export warehouse complex. Sources say they're using it as a staging area for a massive attack against the city. Character, we've never heard of the Clockwork trying anything this bold! It's absolutely imperative that you go to Castenada Export and shut down the Clockwork plot!
Mission Acceptance
I hear there's a large robot inside called Clanger. Watch out for it while you are hunting for information. Character.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We still don't know what the Clockwork are planning at the Castenada Export warehouse!
Mission Objective(s)
This warehouse once belonged to a highly successful company, but there is no evidence of its former glory.
- Defeat Boss Name and its guards
- Find evidence of plot
You defeated the Clockwork and found the diary of the Clockwork King.
You have picked up a diary.
This diary is filled with the frenzied ramblings of the Clockwork King. In one section he writes:
'Character reminds me so much of the vigilante who destroyed my body and left me to this metal shell. I must eliminate this new threat.'
Notes
- The name of the warehouse can vary. Possibilities include APS Warehousing, Castenada Export, and Jovian Storage.
- The name of the boss can vary. Possibilities include Cables, Clanger, Clockwise, Mecha, Piston, and Tinker.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Boss Name (Clockwork Cannon Prince) (Boss)
Debriefing
So, the Clockwork were planning nothing more than your demise! I'm sorry I sent you into a trap, Character, but this diary may well be worth the risk. It should give us valuable new insights into the Clockwork King's madness. I must admit I always wondered why he had transplanted his brain into a Clockwork robot. Now I know. It's no wonder that he hates heroes so much, if it was one of them who consigned him to that fate. It's a sad thing, really. With his brilliant engineering skills, the Clockwork King could have been a hero in his own right.
Security Chief Missions
A character can complete each of these missions only once. If any of these missions is active or completed from another contact, this contact won't offer that mission.
See Kings Row Security Chief (5-6)
Talk to Security Chief

I need you to get over to the Kings Row Security Chief right away. Follow your compass.
Mission Acceptance
There have been reports of some trouble with the Skulls in Kings Row, so he may send you after them.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Get over to the Security Chief as soon as possible.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief
This briefing will help you. Now get out there and take out those Skulls. You might try looking for them in High Park or Freedom Plaza.
A lot of hardworking folks live in Kings Row, home to most of Paragon City's labor force. The place was named after the King Garment Works, but that business went under over twenty years ago. Now, Kings Row is in the hands of all sorts of businesses, from small factories to various Crey subsidiaries. Unfortunately, those damn Skulls have taken over the streets. Some people say that those ghouls belong to some sort of death cult. Whether that's true or not, the Skulls are sure full of trouble.
Keep the peace in Kings Row
Unnecessary Solicitation
Kings Row is like a war zone right now.
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep the peace in Kings Row
- Defeat 10 Skulls
You have defeated 10 Skulls.

See Perez Park Security Chief (7-9)
Talk to Security Chief
Briefing
The Security Chief for Perez Park asked for you by name. You should take that as a compliment. Go talk to him. He's located in Atlas Park near the gates to Perez Park.
Mission Acceptance
Perez Park is a dangerous place these days. Clearly the Chief thinks you can handle it, but take a couple of friends with you, just in case.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't let the Perez Park Security Chief down, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief
Take this briefing seriously. I need you to deal with some of the Circle of Thorns mystics that have been plaguing the area. Try looking for them in Bettis Hills.
Perez Park used to be a beautiful place to take your family for an afternoon picnic. Now, no one in his right mind wanders in there. Most of the area has been abandoned, largely due to the rumors of unholy Circle of Thorns rites taking place deep within the forest. The park is entirely overgrown, a perfect place for those strange mystics to summon up a demon or two. This zone is so deadly that even heroes shouldn't go in there in groups of fewer than three.
Keep the peace in Perez Park
Unnecessary Solicitation
Deal with the Circle in Perez Park!
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep the peace in Perez Park
- Defeat 10 Circle of Thorns
You have defeated 10 Circle of Thorns mystics.

I guess the Chief's confidence in you was well placed. Fantastic job, Character.
Talk to the Steel Canyon Security Chief (10-11)
Talk to Security Chief
Briefing
There is trouble in Steel Canyon. Get your assignment from the Security Chief.
Mission Acceptance
You will probably be dealing with the Outcasts, so be ready for anything.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief in Steel Canyon
Here is some info on the area. I need you to get out on the streets and contain the Outcasts. They can usually be found in Blyde Square or the Copper District.
Steel Canyon is the financial district of Paragon City. Many national banks, insurance companies, and investment firms have their headquarters in this zone. In fact, so much money flows through Steel Canyon, Paragon City ranks among America's richest cities. Success has spurred the construction of so many skyscrapers that the place looks like a canyon made of concrete, glass and metal. The zone isn't without its dangers, though. The Outcasts have claimed the area as their own, and they've recruited a lot of kids with mutant powers related to the elements. That's what the Outcasts love best—beating down their enemies with the power of the elements.
Keep peace in Steel Canyon
Unnecessary Solicitation
Deal with the Outcasts for Security!
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep peace in Steel Canyon
- Defeat 10 Outcasts
You have defeated 10 Outcasts.

Debriefing
Well done; those Outcasts are a powerful bunch. It seems the number of mutants in the city is increasing rapidly.
Talk to the Boomtown Security Chief (12)
Talk to Security Chief
Briefing
Lately, the Clockwork have been tearing Boomtown apart. Report to the Security Chief for that zone and he will tell you what to do.
Mission Acceptance
I don't know why they do this, but the Clockwork are becoming more of a menace every day. Watch out for the huge monster, Babbage!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief
Here is some info on Boomtown, Character. I need you to stop the Clockwork! You could start looking for them in Primer or the Cannonade.
Baumton was the city's first marketplace, where tradesman and farmers went to sell their wares. After the Rikti Invasion, people started calling it Boomtown, because the devastation reminded them of a bomb crater. It's pretty dangerous. If I were you, I wouldn't go in without a few other heroes for backup. The place is infested with those Clockwork robots. They look like toys, but they cause plenty of havoc by stealing bits of machinery and metal from all over. Even worse, a giant clockwork monster called Babbage prevents any pacification of the zone. Be especially careful of him.
Keep peace in Boomtown
Unnecessary Solicitation
Deal with the Clockwork for Security!
Mission Objective(s)
- Keep peace in Boomtown
- Defeat 10 Clockwork
You have defeated 10 Clockwork.
Debriefing
We used to laugh at the Clockwork. Not anymore. Well done, Character.
Talk to the Skyway City Security Chief (13-14)
Talk to Security Chief
Briefing
The Trolls are rampaging again! The Security Chief asked for you by name. Find him, and get your assignment.
Mission Acceptance
These rampages are happening more and more. Something has to be done!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Security Chief
Take this and get on the streets immediately. Stop those Trolls! They've caused a lot of havoc in Vista Plaza and the Astral District.
Back in the 1970's, there was a huge drive to create highways to relieve congestion in the city. No one would need to drive on the surface streets - instead, we would drive above them! So the city started building high spanning bridges everywhere, and Skyway City quickly turned into one big highway in the sky. Now this zone is home to a street gang that likes to camp out underneath bridges: the Trolls. These are thugs who've mutated, thanks to taking a bit too much Superadine. But watch out; the drug has given many of them inhuman strength and resistance.
Stop rampage in Skyway City
Unnecessary Solicitation
Deal with the Trolls for Security!
Mission Objective(s)
- Stop rampage in Skyway City
- Defeat 10 Trolls
You have stopped the rampage.
Debriefing
Good job today. There must be some link between Superadine and these rampages. The Trolls need to be cut off from their supply.
