Information

Natural Hero Liaison

Derek Amberson was always a genius at the art of war. Tactics, strategy, swordplay; there was nothing in the marital arena he could not master. After taking an Olympic gold medal in fencing, Derek longed for work that would give him a different kind of reward. When he heard about the trouble in Paragon City, he immediately got on a bus, traveling all night to present himself at the ELITE offices the next morning. As liaison to new heroes with natural abilities, he is passing on his expertise to the next generation of heroes.

They were planning to take me to a big training base right here in Atlas Park. There may be other people there who the Council recruited against their will!'

Character, I've got a good tip for you. My sources have uncovered a critical link in the Council's communications network. It's a base full of cryptologists, whose only job is to develop and disseminate the ciphers that keep the Council's communications secret. If you could get your hands on those ciphers, we'd know a whole lot more about the Council's activities. What do you say?

Galaxy City briefing

Galaxy City is named after the late Galaxy Girl, who fell during the Rikti War. Though she had few super powers and never gained much fame in the world at large, Galaxy Girl was one of Paragon City's favorites. She was a constant presence in the skies since her appearance in the 1950's. She worked tirelessly to improve the lives of her fellow citizens, not just by fighting evil, but also through her charity work. No doubt she would be proud to see a new generation of Heroes battling the Hellions, a street gang bent on claiming Galaxy City for their own.
