The Honoree
Overview
The Honoree is a Rikti Archvillain. This character is the corrupted remains of what used to be the hero Hero 1, the leader of the Omega Team, who went to the Rikti Homeworld to close the portal the Rikti were using to bring reinforcements to Earth during the Rikti War. This was done by erecting a magical barrier around the Rikti native planet, and the war ended once and for all. Like the rest of the Omega Team, he was thought dead, but we have recently found proof that the Rikti are now using him as their most powerful weapon to take the fight back to Earth.
Heroes and villains may fight him:
- during the mission Stop the Rikti, at the end of the Lady Grey Task Force
- during the missions What Could Be and Consequences in Mender Ramiel's arc
The Honoree can be found as an ally:
- during the mission The World's Final Gambit from Dream Doctor

Description
The Honoree reminds you of Hero 1, the hero who was sent to the Rikti Homeworld and successfully destroyed the bridge between their world and ours. It is quite possible that Hero 1 was captured on the Rikti homeworld and subjected to mutations similar to what the Lost undergo, creating this new abomination.
During the mission The World's Final Gambit from Dream Doctor
The Honoree was formerly Hero 1, the hero who was sent to the Rikti homeworld and successfully destroyed the bridge between their world and ours. Hero 1 was captured on the Ritki homeworld and subjected to mutations similar to what the Lost undergo. Having spent many months reconditioning with the help of several powerful psychics, he now aids Vanguard where he can.
