'''In-game storyline:''' | |||
'''Arachnos''' is one of the main factions in the City of Heroes/Villains universe. This villain group of dark origins resides today more or less permanently in the [[Rogue Isles]] and is the personal tool of [[Lord Recluse]] in his neverending fight with [[Statesman]]. Having sub-divisions of specialists, immense resources and no few powerful villains in his ranks, Arachnos can be considered a true army. Despite its immense power (or perhaps because of it), life in Arachnos is not easy and the fights between the different inner factions seem to be something relatively common. Arachnos only believes in the survival of the fittest and is not friendly towards costumed villains. Sometimes allied and mostly hostile to villains, this villain group can be found in City of Villains by a player during his whole career. Arachnos soldiers feel even less love for heroes, and will attack them on sight. In City of Heroes, a Hero who wishes to fight them will have to go to [[Faultline]], [[Siren's Call]], [[Rikti War Zone]] or [[Recluse's Victory]], enter mission in [[Bloody Bay]], Siren's Call or [[Warburg]], or select them in radio missions. | |||

Arachnos official info ( Copied from the City of Villains official website [http://web.archive.org/web/20121025114532/http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/game_info/know_your_adversary/arachnos.php]): | |||
For young villains, their greatest ally is also their most dangerous foe. At the bidding of [[Lord Recluse]], Arachnos has broken possible destined ones from the Zig. Once free of this prison, Arachnos agents feel no compulsion to help as these ‘Children of Fate’ make their way in the dangerous world of the [[Rogue Isles]]. | |||
Built upon the notion that only the fittest should survive, Arachnos was formed in the early part of the 20th Century in Italy. Although the true history of Arachnos remains shrouded, this organization was around long before “Il Recluso” wrested power away from its original founder, “[[The Weaver]]”. It remains unclear exactly how Lord Recluse took over the global network of Arachnos though betrayal and murder surely played a role. After taking over, Recluse subtly shifted Arachnos’s priorities and interests to better suit his own ideological goals. | |||
After ruling Arachnos for many years, Recluse went underground to weave his web of deceit before eventually emerging as the “legitimate” leader of the Rogue Isles. Now he controls the Isles and is, technically at least, considered a political figure—though he privately relishes the rare times he’s able to get blood on his hands. Ruling a nation has allowed Lord Recluse to create armed forces, purchase military hardware, and even research alien technology. Covertly, his agents have spread throughout the world, he has spies or contacts in every major “villain group,” and [[Paragon City]] is the juicy fly wiggling at the fringe of his growing web. Recluse will not rest until he has wrested the City of Heroes from [[Statesman]]’s grasp. | |||
Lord Recluse now rules Arachnos with an iron fist demanding blind loyalty and unswerving devotion from those who survive long enough to serve him. Under his guidance, Arachnos has become a multi-faceted and deadly group. | |||
While Arachnos agents will ignore minor infractions, major crimes draw immediate action. In the eyes of Lord Recluse, anyone reckless enough to commit murder, grand larceny, or acts of mass destruction is either uncontrollable or powerful enough that he wants to control them directly. Woe to the Arachnos agent that crosses the line far enough to bring the dreaded Arachnos [[Arbiter]]s into the matter. | |||
Outside the extensive military organization, every island has a civilian Governor and a military Marshal. The Governor decides the island’s domestic affairs while the Marshal rules all matters of security and defense. In a dispute, the Marshal has seniority. Both are appointed directly by Lord Recluse. Failure is not tolerated, and turnover is quite high, particularly among the Governors. | |||
Today Lord Recluse is a tyrant, ruling all of Arachnos in order to maintain tight control over the Rogue Isles. As he protects his territory from the meddling of [[Longbow]] and other do-gooders from Paragon City, Recluse also prides himself in being one step ahead of Statesman and the [[Freedom Phalanx]] as he continues to weave his intricate web. | |||
Arachnos' advanced and somewhat futuristic technology is put down to a menagerie of scientists, mad and otherwise, the dreaded Arbiters inventions, such as the Power Mace, and the enigmatic Orb Weavers, who create drones and robots such as the Arachnobots. | |||

''Main Article:'' [[Arachnos Heavy Blaster]] | |||
[[Lord Recluse]] discovered that [[Black Scorpion]] had built these enormous walking tanks to attack [[Captain Mako|Mako]] in another of their inter-patron squabbles. Lord Recluse seized these monstruous war machines for his own use in [[Recluse's Victory]]. Loyalists like you will now be able to wield their destructive capabilities in battle! Their lack of speed is more than compensated for with its impressive firepower and heavy armor. The Arachnos Heavy Blaster is an awesome asset to any villain who's looking for an edge in battle. | |||

Digiwench is a high-ranking operative working with Arachnos under the supervision of Black Scorpion's team. She is an engineer, first and foremost; her speciality lies within nanometer-sized machine assembly algorithms for automated tasks. Her list of accomplishments is impressive and intimidating, so it seems amazing she's taken all that promise and signed on to work with Black Scorpion under such a self-deprecating name. | |||

=== | ==== Aeon Corp Head of R&D ==== | ||
The irony is not lost on you that the only person Dr. Aeon would consider worthy of appointing as head of Aeon Corp's research & development department would be a clone of himself. Though for some bizarre reason, this Dr. Aeon clone is uncomfortably handsome. | |||
He is equipped with a suit of Dr. Aeon's signature power armor, though it seems to be an earlier prototype as it doesn't appear to have the full range of bells and whistles. | |||

==== Nervous Arachnos Scientist ==== | |||
These scientists are at the forefront of the continual push from Arachnos to always have the latest and greatest in every manner of technology. This competitive endeavor puts an enormous amount of stress on all those who are tasked with research and development. Despite this, they are truly diligent workers, and the on-going dominance that Arachnos enjoys in the Rogue Isles is in no small part due to having these unparalleled scientific minds ever toiling towards realizing the next cutting-edge invention. | |||
While not the most formidable combatant in their own right, they often have access to robotic defenders or advanced gadgets at their disposal that make them more than capable of defending themselves from the wide variety of threats that would love to acquire their knowledge or expertise. | |||

==== Security Arachnobot ==== | |||
These impressive looking [[Arachnobots]] are hybridized with components used in the [[Arachnos/Tarantulas#Toxic_Tarantula|Toxic Tarantula]] exo-skeletons. Despite their impressive size and power, all the models that have been assigned to serve as facility security are mostly underperforming prototypes that were created during development. Some have speculated that [[Black Scorpion]] sees [[Dr. Aeon]] as a potential up-and-coming threat in the various Arachnos technological divisions. | |||
Black Scoprion's assigning these Arachnobots to Aeon Corp was likely a ploy to discredit Dr. Aeon's leadership capabilities and establish his place in the Arachnos hierarchy. | |||

Overview
Built upon the notion that only the fittest should survive, Arachnos was formed in the early part of the 20th century in Italy. Altough the true history of Arachnos remains shrouded, this organization was around long before "Il Recluso" wrested power away from its original founder, "The Weaver". It remains unclear exactly how Lord Recluse took over the global network of Arachnos, though betrayal and murder surely played a role. After taking over, Recluse subtly shifted Arachnos' priorities and interests to better suit his own ideological goals and now rules the Rogue Isles from the center of his web of power.
In-game storyline:
Arachnos is one of the main factions in the City of Heroes/Villains universe. This villain group of dark origins resides today more or less permanently in the Rogue Isles and is the personal tool of Lord Recluse in his neverending fight with Statesman. Having sub-divisions of specialists, immense resources and no few powerful villains in his ranks, Arachnos can be considered a true army. Despite its immense power (or perhaps because of it), life in Arachnos is not easy and the fights between the different inner factions seem to be something relatively common. Arachnos only believes in the survival of the fittest and is not friendly towards costumed villains. Sometimes allied and mostly hostile to villains, this villain group can be found in City of Villains by a player during his whole career. Arachnos soldiers feel even less love for heroes, and will attack them on sight. In City of Heroes, a Hero who wishes to fight them will have to go to Faultline, Siren's Call, Rikti War Zone or Recluse's Victory, enter mission in Bloody Bay, Siren's Call or Warburg, or select them in radio missions.
Background
Arachnos official info ( Copied from the City of Villains official website [1]):
For young villains, their greatest ally is also their most dangerous foe. At the bidding of Lord Recluse, Arachnos has broken possible destined ones from the Zig. Once free of this prison, Arachnos agents feel no compulsion to help as these ‘Children of Fate’ make their way in the dangerous world of the Rogue Isles.
Built upon the notion that only the fittest should survive, Arachnos was formed in the early part of the 20th Century in Italy. Although the true history of Arachnos remains shrouded, this organization was around long before “Il Recluso” wrested power away from its original founder, “The Weaver”. It remains unclear exactly how Lord Recluse took over the global network of Arachnos though betrayal and murder surely played a role. After taking over, Recluse subtly shifted Arachnos’s priorities and interests to better suit his own ideological goals.
After ruling Arachnos for many years, Recluse went underground to weave his web of deceit before eventually emerging as the “legitimate” leader of the Rogue Isles. Now he controls the Isles and is, technically at least, considered a political figure—though he privately relishes the rare times he’s able to get blood on his hands. Ruling a nation has allowed Lord Recluse to create armed forces, purchase military hardware, and even research alien technology. Covertly, his agents have spread throughout the world, he has spies or contacts in every major “villain group,” and Paragon City is the juicy fly wiggling at the fringe of his growing web. Recluse will not rest until he has wrested the City of Heroes from Statesman’s grasp.
Lord Recluse now rules Arachnos with an iron fist demanding blind loyalty and unswerving devotion from those who survive long enough to serve him. Under his guidance, Arachnos has become a multi-faceted and deadly group.
While Arachnos agents will ignore minor infractions, major crimes draw immediate action. In the eyes of Lord Recluse, anyone reckless enough to commit murder, grand larceny, or acts of mass destruction is either uncontrollable or powerful enough that he wants to control them directly. Woe to the Arachnos agent that crosses the line far enough to bring the dreaded Arachnos Arbiters into the matter.
Outside the extensive military organization, every island has a civilian Governor and a military Marshal. The Governor decides the island’s domestic affairs while the Marshal rules all matters of security and defense. In a dispute, the Marshal has seniority. Both are appointed directly by Lord Recluse. Failure is not tolerated, and turnover is quite high, particularly among the Governors.
Today Lord Recluse is a tyrant, ruling all of Arachnos in order to maintain tight control over the Rogue Isles. As he protects his territory from the meddling of Longbow and other do-gooders from Paragon City, Recluse also prides himself in being one step ahead of Statesman and the Freedom Phalanx as he continues to weave his intricate web.
Arachnos' advanced and somewhat futuristic technology is put down to a menagerie of scientists, mad and otherwise, the dreaded Arbiters inventions, such as the Power Mace, and the enigmatic Orb Weavers, who create drones and robots such as the Arachnobots.

Arachnos Heavy Blaster
Main Article: Arachnos Heavy Blaster
Lord Recluse discovered that Black Scorpion had built these enormous walking tanks to attack Mako in another of their inter-patron squabbles. Lord Recluse seized these monstruous war machines for his own use in Recluse's Victory. Loyalists like you will now be able to wield their destructive capabilities in battle! Their lack of speed is more than compensated for with its impressive firepower and heavy armor. The Arachnos Heavy Blaster is an awesome asset to any villain who's looking for an edge in battle.

Digiwench
Digiwench is a high-ranking operative working with Arachnos under the supervision of Black Scorpion's team. She is an engineer, first and foremost; her speciality lies within nanometer-sized machine assembly algorithms for automated tasks. Her list of accomplishments is impressive and intimidating, so it seems amazing she's taken all that promise and signed on to work with Black Scorpion under such a self-deprecating name.
Levels: 30-54
Powers
Electric Fence Ranged, Moderate DoT(Energy), Foe Immobilize, -Endurance, -Recovery, -Fly, Chance for Self +Endurance

Archvillain's Might Resistance
Arch-villains are very powerful individuals, and as such have significant resistance to many status effects. They are not immune, however, and can be vulnerable for brief windows of opportunity.
Aeon Corp Head of R&D
The irony is not lost on you that the only person Dr. Aeon would consider worthy of appointing as head of Aeon Corp's research & development department would be a clone of himself. Though for some bizarre reason, this Dr. Aeon clone is uncomfortably handsome.
He is equipped with a suit of Dr. Aeon's signature power armor, though it seems to be an earlier prototype as it doesn't appear to have the full range of bells and whistles.

Nervous Arachnos Scientist
These scientists are at the forefront of the continual push from Arachnos to always have the latest and greatest in every manner of technology. This competitive endeavor puts an enormous amount of stress on all those who are tasked with research and development. Despite this, they are truly diligent workers, and the on-going dominance that Arachnos enjoys in the Rogue Isles is in no small part due to having these unparalleled scientific minds ever toiling towards realizing the next cutting-edge invention.
While not the most formidable combatant in their own right, they often have access to robotic defenders or advanced gadgets at their disposal that make them more than capable of defending themselves from the wide variety of threats that would love to acquire their knowledge or expertise.

Security Arachnobot
These impressive looking Arachnobots are hybridized with components used in the Toxic Tarantula exo-skeletons. Despite their impressive size and power, all the models that have been assigned to serve as facility security are mostly underperforming prototypes that were created during development. Some have speculated that Black Scorpion sees Dr. Aeon as a potential up-and-coming threat in the various Arachnos technological divisions.
Black Scoprion's assigning these Arachnobots to Aeon Corp was likely a ploy to discredit Dr. Aeon's leadership capabilities and establish his place in the Arachnos hierarchy.
