Fareed is very kind and courteous.

He's especially interested in taking down the Clockwork and the Trolls. Wyatt's research has him in Steel Canyon these days.

Wyatt has a wealth of information.

• Kong Bao

There's a Hmong businessman named Kong Bao who's a real leader in his community. You should talk to him. I'm sure you'd find him quite helpful, especially when it comes to the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Mr. Kong has strong ties to Skyway City.

You will be helping a great man, Character.

• Sgt. Suzanne Bernhard

I suggest you go speak to Sgt. Suzanne Bernhard in the street crimes division. She's a good person to know, especially when you're dealing with the Tsoo or the Council. Sgt. Bernhard works the desk in Skyway City.

Suzanne always has her eyes on the streets.

• Tom Bowden

You should meet Tom Bowden. He's an NSA agent recently assigned to Paragon City. His first assignment is trying to crack the Clockwork puzzle, but he also has a chip on his shoulder for the Lost. Tom's government connections have him in Steel Canyon these days.

Tom is very focused, and knows what he is doing.

• Vitaly Cherenko

Have you ever met Vitaly Cherenko, the mystic healer? He's a walking hospital, only he uses magic instead of bandages. You should talk to him and see if you can help each other defeat the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Vitaly can usually be found in Skyway City.

Many people don't understand the work Vitaly is doing, but that doesn't mean it's not important.

• Guy Denson

I know a courier named Guy Denson who would like to meet you. He runs all over town delivering important packages, and he's helped lots of heroes with the Clockwork and the Lost. Guy's routes have him in Steel Canyon now.

Guy will steer you to the heart of trouble.

• Mark Freeman

Mark Freeman is a mutant with the ability to communicate with machines. He has been focusing his attention on the Clockwork activity lately, altough he's also interested in the mysterious Lost. Mark makes his home in Skyway City.

Mark can be a little brusque, but he has a connection that no one else can possibly match.

I know this guy, his name's Cho Ge. He's a little shady. He even used to be a gangster, but these days he's working for the good guys. He knows everything about the Tsoo and the Council. Cho Ge hangs out in Skyway City nowadays.

As long as you watch your step with Cho Ge, you will benefit from his knowledge.

• Maggie Greene

Maggie Greene is a class act and a good reporter. She'll do good by you. Her investigations have led her to focus on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Maggie files her reports in Skyway City.

Maggie has better instincts than almost anyone I know. Listen to her and you will have plenty of action.

• Virginia Hoffman

You'd never guess it to look at her, but the sculptor Virginia Hoffman really knows a lot about what's going on in this town, especially with the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. You should talk to her. Ms. Hoffman lives in Steel Canyon these days.

Virginia is very eccentric, but she has a good heart and is really interested in doing the right thing.

• Thao Ku

Have you ever heard of Master Thao Ku? He's an amazing martial arts teacher, as well as aan truly enlightened person. You should meet with him sometime and discuss the Tsoo or the Circle of Thorns. Master Thao has his dojo in Skyway City.

Well done, Character. Master Thao will steer you straight.

• Jake Montoya

Did you ever hear of the Red Tiger? He retired right after the war, and now he's just Jake Montoya. He may not wear a costume anymore, but he can sure help those who do, especially with information on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Jake has retired to Skyway City.

Jake has his eye out for new blood to take up the mantle of heroism.

• Karen Parker

Detective Karen Parker has a great reputation as a tough but fair-minded cop. If you're respectful and show her you're competent, I'm sure she'll be happy to work with you on the Tsoo and Council. Detective Parker investigates crimes out of the Skyway City precinct.

Detective Parker can be harsh, but only when it's warranted.

• Colleen Saramago

Do you have any contacts with Hero Corps yet? Even if you do, you should really talk to Colleen Saramago. I think she'd be happy to give you some assignments dealing with the Clockwork and the Trolls. Hero Corps has stationed Colleen in Steel Canyon.

Hero Corps has a very good information network.

• Warren Trudeau

FBI Special Agent Warren Trudeau would like to have a word with you. He's particularly eager to work with new heroes like you in combating the Tsoo and the Council. Agent Trudeau is on special assignment to Skyway City.

I think you will find Agent Trudeau to be very helpful.

Level 20-24

• Jim Bell

Have you ever read any of Jim Bell's articles in the paper? He's a great reporter who's been doing a lot of articles on the Tsoo and the Warriors. Jim has access to Training Enhancements.

Jim is outspoken and opinionated, but he is extremely well informed.

• Dennis Ewell

Do you ever read Dennis Ewell's columns? He's quite a writer, and he told me he'd like your help taking out the Tsoo and the Warriors. Dennis has access to Training Enhancements.

Dennis isn't convinced that the heroes of Paragon City are much better than the villains, but he is coming around.

• Tyler French

There's an amazing guy named Tyler French who runs a youth sports program; it keeps troubled teens off the streets. He hears a lot and likes to help heroes out, especially with the Tsoo and the Warriors. Tyler has access to Training Enhancements.

Tyler is really great for the kids, Character. Help him out however you can.

• Amanda Loomis

The INS has a woman named Amanda Loomis who works well with heroes. She is trying to keep the Tsoo situation from turning any uglier than it already has, and she also has a deep interest in the Warriors. Amanda should be able to get you Training Enhancements.

Amanda likes to use metaphors, but she understands the realities of Paragon City all too well.

• Hinckley Rasmussen

I know a rather interesting fellow named Hinckley Rasmussen. He works as a researcher for the Midnight Squad and takes an interest in helping heroes like you fight the Tsoo and the Warriors. Hinckley has access to Training Enhancements.

Information

Her daring approach to journalism has won her national acclaim, although some criticize her for putting too much of herself in the story.

The Vahzilok Plague (15-19)

Take the scanning device and use it on any Vahzilok you see

Briefing

Look, the city council wants to keep this quiet. There's been a rash of mysterious illnesses in the past few days, and a few cases have already proved fatal. We're not sure what this disease is, but it's quite virulent. If something isn't done soon, we'll be living in a ghost town.

We do have good evidence that the illness is connected to the Vahzilok zombies. I need you to take this scanning device and use it on any Vahzilok you see. We need all the data we can get.

Mission Acceptance

Once you've defeated at least 15 of them, we should have enough data.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you don't scan some more Vahzilok, we won't be able to use your data at all.

Here's the scanner. I hope you can find some good data for us.

Medical scanner

This small medical device was designed by the ingenious Jonathan St. John Smythe. When placed on a subject's skin, it scans the body for any infections.

Mission Objective(s)

• Scan Vahzilok for disease info
  • Defeat 15 Vahzilok

You have scanned enough Vahzilok.

Vahzilok data

This data contains information on the Vahzilok you defeated. It will be cross-referenced with previous scans to determine if these Vahzilok were carriers of the deadly new plague.

Debriefing

Thanks for scanning those Vahzilok, Character. If they were carriers of this strange new disease, this data will be invaluable.

The best minds in Paragon City are working on this data you collected from the diseased Vahzilok.

Eliminate the diseased Vahzilok and collect samples

Briefing

We had people all over the city scanning Vahzilok, but you got the best results. Based on your data, we think we've discovered where the diseased zombies are coming from! No surprises here; those walking disease factories have been hanging out in the most unhygienic place they could find: the sewers. I need you to eliminate the diseased Vahzilok and collect some samples of their tissue and blood.

Mission Acceptance

Get back to me as soon as you can, Character, and watch out for a Vahzilok they call the Boss Name. He's as nasty as they come.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need those blood and tissue samples to keep this investigation on track.

Mission Objective(s)

On the way here, you passed some kids playing kick-the-can. They have no idea that the Vahzilok infection could soon be ripping through their neighborhoods like a forest fire.

• Eliminate all diseased Vahzilok
  • Find disease sample

You have located pure samples of the Vahzilok disease.

Vahzilok blood sample

These vials of foul-smelling, black blood should help determine the nature of the virulent Vahzilok contagion.

Notes

• The boss name can vary. Possiblities are Cutter, Doctor, Surgeon and Vivisector.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• Cutter/Doctor/Surgeon/Vivisector (Vahzilok Mire Eidolon)

Vahzilok Boss

Before Combat: No one can be allowed to interfere: do you understand?
Combat Start: These witless heroes for example!

Debriefing

Great work, Character! These samples are the disease in it's pure form. With these, we're sure to find an antidote. I'll get tests run on them immediately.

Take the diseased blood samples to Professor St. John-Smythe for final processing

Briefing

I'm sorry to say this, but you've been infected with the Vahzilok virus. Now, I don't want you to panic; it's at a very early stage, and we're already hard at work on a serum. If you could take these diseased blood samples to Professor St. John-Smythe for final processing, I'm sure he could give you a shot right away.

Mission Acceptance

If you start to feel woozy, whatever you do, don't go to sleep!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Get those samples over to the professor, Character. You are pushing your luck.

Temporary Power

Vahzilok Wasting Disease

Auto: Self -Regeneration, -Recovery, -Hit Points, -Endurance

You have been infected with the Vahzilok Wasting Disease. This disease, introduced by the Vahzilok, is slowly wasting you away. Find a cure, quick! Your maximum hit points, endurance, regeneration, and recovery have all been reduced.

Deliver samples to the professor

Mission Objective(s)

• Deliver samples to the professor

Jonathan St. John Smythe

Briefing

Thank goodness you're here! Our labs are under attack by Vahzilok zombies, and we need your help! If that lab falls to the Vahzilok, our hopes for a cure will be ruined!

Defeat Patient Zero and minions

Mission Objective(s)

Saving the scientists is the only hope you have of curing the Vahzilok wasting disease.

• Defeat Patient Zero and minions
  • 3 scientists to rescue

You have rescued the scientists and saved the labs. One of the scientists gave you a shot to cure you of the Vahzilok disease.

Scientist conversation

One of the scientists you rescued said:

'I'm glad you got here when you did. You just missed Dr. Vahzilok himself! He found half of our supply of the serum, and left to examine it. His minions would have found the rest in a few more minutes. Here, let me give you a shot. You'll be all right soon. But I'm afraid that Dr. Vahzilok will just alter his disease to make it resistant to our cure. I guess this proves that his so-called humanitarian motives are nothing but a crock. He can't be trying to cheat death if he's spreading killer viruses around.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• Patient Zero (Vahzilok Murk Eidolon)
• 3 Scientists (Hostages)

Vahzilok Patrol

Before Combat

Vahzilok Minion 1: Spread out and kill the lot of them!

Combat Start

Vahzilok Minion 1: Fresh!

Vahzilok Minion 2: Meat!

Rescued Scientists

Upon Rescue

Scientist 1: There aren't words to describe my gratitude, Character.

Scientist 2: You define bravery, Character.

Scientist 3: Listen! I have to tell you something!

Patient Zero

Before Combat: Dr. Vahzilok is very upset with Character's successes
Combat Start: Kill everyone. NOW!

Debriefing

So, Dr. Vahzilok's minions made off with some of the serum! If Dr. Vahzilok modifies his virus to resist that drug, we may not be able to step the epidemic!

Go to the sewers and incinerate every body you find

Doctor Vahzilok

Briefing

Now that Dr. Vahzilok has a sample of the antidote, it's only a matter of time before he can modify his virus and undo our work. However, I've analyzed all the data, and I think I have a very viable candidate for the ground zero of this entire outbreak. I'd like you to go down to the sewers and incinerate every body you find. If you can manage this, Character, you'll put an end to Vahzilok's evil plague forever!

Mission Acceptance

You must be careful, Character. Dr. Vahzilok himself knows about your involvement, and may try to stop you. You'll have to judge for yourself if you'll be strong enough to fight him, or if destroying the bodies is the better answer. Maybe we can put an end to this whole thing here and now, before the rest of the city gets infected.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Please put an end to this Vahzilok plague!

Mission Objective(s)

The hackles on the back of your neck stand on end.

• Put an end to Vahzilok plague
  • 4 bodies remaining. Defeat Dr. Vahzilok (Issue 12 Patch notes)

You have put an end to the Vahzilok plague.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• The Leech (Vahzilok Mire Eidolon)
• Doctor Vahzilok (Archvillain)

The Leech

Before Combat: We'll need more bodies up here to protect Dr. Vahzilok.
Combat Start: Dr. Vahzilok warned us you might try to stop him, Character!

Dr. Vahzilok

Before Combat: Prepare yourself, my loyal minions. I can sense our foe will be here soon.
Combat start: This is an emergency medical situation, and amateurs are only going to get hurt
At 75% Life: If you don't step aside, I'll treat you as I treat all infections. I'll wipe you from the face of the Earth.
At 50% Life: This is my mess. I'll clean it up.
At 25% Life: You fools don't understand my mission!
Defeated: No! My work must continue!

Debriefing

So, you actually came face to face with Dr. Vahzilok himself? Few people have done that and lived to tell the tale. It's interesting that he seemed to have the same goal as you: eradicating the deadly plague he had caused. I guess it's possible that Vahzilok really does care about the harm he causes.
