Information

Occultist

Oliver Haak styles himself an occultist, and he's a bit of a mystery to the heroes he works with. Some say he possesses magical abilities, while others believe his only power is a vast knowledge of magical lore. He seems to have some intuitive grasp of mystical matters, yet he never seems to spend any time studying ancient books or delving through forgotten libraries. There are those who speculate that Oliver is actually a helpful spirit in human guise. Others maintain that he's channeling the spirits of the world's greatest wise men. The one thing that everyone agrees upon is that he's very happy to share his knowledge with heroes he deems worthy of his attention.

Briefing

In the wake of the Rikti War, there's been a resurgence of all kinds of mysticism. This has helped in some cases, even providing the city with new hope. But it has also caused a great deal of trouble. One new cult calls itself the Banished Pantheon. They have some sort of dark power; they can animate the dead and call spirits from beyond the grave! A reporter named Suzanne Trent was investigating them, but now she's gone missing. Please find Suzanne Trent as soon as possible.

The creatures we have seen the most frequently have been dubbed Husks; they seem to made from the animated bodies of the dead.

Mission Objective(s)

Somewhere below, a woman's terrified screams echo in the darkness.

Debriefing

According to Suzanne Trent, the Banished Pantheon is investigating all beings of power. I must say, that phrase has an ominous ring to it. Depending on the definition, it could include heroes like yourself.

Go see Stephanie Peebles

Have you ever been to Striga Isle, Character? There's a woman there named Stephanie Peebles who needs our help. She's got all she can do trying to hold Port Noble together against the onslaught of the Council. Will you take this package over to Stephanie? I'd appreciate it if you didn't look inside. Oh, you might want to take some friends. It can get pretty dicey over there.

The Council has managed to entrench itself on Striga Isle but good. If you can give Stephanie any assistance against them, I'm sure she'll be grateful. Of course, I hope you won't forget about your old friends here in Paragon City. We'll always be grateful for your help, too.

Here's the package. It's for Stephanie's eyes only.

Stephanie Peebles: " Thanks for the package, Character; I'm grateful. So, what do you think of Port Noble? Doesn't look like much, maybe? Well, it's my home. I've been doing what I can to kick those Council goons out, but I need more help. I'd appreciate it if you could stick around. Otherwise, you can keep following leads from your other contacts. I'll always be here, and I'll always be grateful for assistance.

note: Stephanie Peebles will provide missions after talking to her. There was no experience or like reward for this mission.
