Information
PPD Liaison to the Magisterium
Sassy and in a perpetual good mood, Cleopatra is more than just Praetor White's girlfriend, she's a high ranking official in Praetoria City's Magisterium.
Since she was a little girl, Cleopatra strove to be as strong a hero as her personal heroes; Praetor Tilman and Emperor Cole. She grew up in a privileged family and had want for nothing, but her drive to become a hero was always at the forefront of her actions. She trained hard and showed great determination. When she was a young woman she registered with the Powers Division, despite lacking any real superhuman talents.
It didn't take long for the rest of her peers to figure out that she didn't need super powers to win a fight against them, just skill and a will to win no matter what. Praetor White recognized a kindred spirit and immediately brought her into his Top Dogs. Though not the strongest, Cleopatra could definitely hold her own. She had to, for to show any weakness would invite the others to tear her down.
Years have passed and Cleopatra is retired from field work. She's taken up an official position working for the Magisterium, and has found love in the most unlikely of places: the heart of a Marauder.
Prior to Introduction
I don't know who you are, suga'. And right now ain't the best time to start gettin' to know strangers, if you catch my drift. If you're on the straight and narrow, then you'll get assigned to work with me.
Initial Contact
So you're Character huh? I hear you're workin' your way up this little ladder in Praetoria. Michael told me a bit about you, that you're part of his little group of pups.
Now suga', don't worry, I ain't meaning that in any sorta bad way.
My name's Cleopatra, and I ain't here to make you jump through hoops for my amusement, like Michael does. I'm here to work together with you to stop whatever is causin' this city to rot. I ain't gonna ask you to do any menial tasks, 'cause that ain't what you got yourself into Powers Division for, is it?
Me and you, suga', we're gonna make a name for ourselves. You ready?
Greeting
Hey there, baby. You lost?

Story Arc
Organized Crusaders
Souvenir
Loyalist Health Insurance
You received a card granting you the best health insurance that a citizen in Praetoria can have - not that you necessarily need it. Looking at the card reminds you of an adventure called...
Organized Crusaders
It began when you met Cleopatra, Praetor White's girlfriend. She was trying to hunt down traitors hidden within the ranks of the PPD. She explained to you that there was an extremist group within the Resistance called 'Crusaders' and that they may have moles within the Loyalists ranks. You went into a police precinct to plant bugs on three possible suspects.
There was very quick turnaround - you found out that Officer Pell was going to meet with the Resistance at a warehouse belonging to Troy Altman. The plan was to steal various explosives meant for construction. You were able to disrupt the meeting but the Resistance had already made off with the explosives. You also found out that the Syndicate were working with the Resistance, supplying the group with weaponry. Cleopatra helped you in finding where exactly the Resistance was stowing the weapons, but again, you arrived just in time to find out that the explosives were already planted throughout the city.
You rushed through the city, disarming various bombs that the Resistance had planted, only to find out that the main Resistance plot was to bomb the Cole Memorial Hospital!
Without any time to lose, you quickly made your way to the hospital, defeating all of the Resistance and Syndicate members in the hospital and disarming all of the bombs.
The day was saved, thanks to you and Cleopatra - though TPN reported that you were working together with Praetor Sinclair to disarm the bombs. Despite the inaccuracy of the news report having Sinclair steal your thunder, the workers at the hospital were grateful for your help, giving you a free pass to come and go in the hospital as you pleased.
Part One: What Has This Place Become?
So suga', I know that you're all-knowin' about the Resistance and all that, but how much do you know?
Did you know them folks in the Resistance have their own little war going on? S'right, two little factions, Wardens and Crusaders. Now Wardens, they're the cats without claws, you don't gotta worry yourself one bit about them. Crusaders, though, they're dangerous. They'll do whatever it takes to take down Emperor Cole - even if it means killin' everyone around us. I don't know about you, suga', but I like bein' alive.
Problem we have right now is that I got word from on high some of these Crusaders might have gone and infiltrated the PPD. That's bad news all around, 'cause if they got themselves inside information, there's no tellin' how many people are gonna die.
So we got ourselves some traitors to weed out, suga'.
I'm all set. Do you have any posible leads?
You bet I do, or else I wouldn't be talkin' to you 'bout this.
I got my suspicions that someone within the PPD here in Nova is our little turncoat.
Here, take these listening devices.I need you to be plantin' these devices on the computers of three suspected traitors in that PPD precinct. Now it ain't gonna be as easy as just walking up to their computers and plantin' it. We gotta make sure that our little traitor isn't in the know about our plan, you understand?
Here's some documents givin' some backgrond on each of our suspects. You can use the info here to lure 'em away from their computers. You've gotta make sure none of them traitors see you plantin' this bug on their computers. You might wanna snoop around the precinct for any additional information you can go and use to get 'em movin'.
Cleopatra hands you the files on the officers suspected of treason.
Cleopatra gave you this document on Officer Chance.
Cleopatra added this note on a coversheet inside the report.
'It seems Chance is a bit of a gambler and has been known to take some time off of work to go meet with those who owe him money.
This is the document Cleopatra gave you regarding Officer Shanning.
Cleopatra added this summary to the report.
It's well known throughout the precint that Shanning is dying to do whatever it takes to get a promotion. This includes trying to get an audience with Emperor Cole in the hopes of showing off all he has done for the department.
Officer Pell's profile details the works he's done with Troy Altman, the CEO of a large construction corporation within Praetoria.
Cleopatra wrote this nothe in the margin
This is curious because Pellwas not invited to the ball that Altman is holding tonight, despite the support he has given to him.
Unsolicited Contact
Now come on suga', this ain't hard. Someone like yourself can do this easy, better than Michael could. He'd just walk in and kill everyone in there, if it meant findin' one traitor.
Mission Objective(s)
The PPD Precinct is bustling with activity. Normal citizens wouldn't be allowed to wander the area - good thing members of Powers Division get a free pass.
- Plant bugs in the PPD Precinct
- Distract Officer Chance, Distract Officer Shanning, Distract Officer Pell
You've planted the bugs. Now to get back to Cleopatra to see if she'll be able to find anything in the meantim
- Use the clues provided as appropriate to distract each officer.
Enemies
- None

Notable NPCs
- Officer Chance (Praetorian Police Department Sergeant)

Debriefing
Good job on buggin' them desks, suga'. Now we just gotta play the old waitin' game to see which one of our boys is the real traitor...
You have a phone on you, tiger? Call me if you need to talk, 'k baby? Just don't let Michael know you have my number, he gets jealous easily.
Part Two: You're the Monster
Stop the raid on Altman's warehouse
Hey suga', it looks like we got ourselves a catch from that bait we set out.
Looks like our boy is Officer Pell. He's been slippin' info to some guy named Grossman. Now I ain't heard of a Crusader named Grossman, so I think this is another one of the Resistance's undercover agents. Accordin' to the computer, the little backstabber is organizin' a raid on a supply warehouse belongin' to Troy Altman. That's bad news for us, 'cause that warehouse contains explosives that Altman was plannin' on usin' to tear down some old buildings in Neutropolis!
I'll get over there before they can get away.
S'why I'm feelin' good about the two of us workin' together, suga', you got yourself drive to protect the people in this here city.
You get down there and stop them Resistance from scamperin' off with those bombs. I'll see if I can get some of my boys to bust into Altman's ball to arrest Pell for the little traitor that he is.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You don't need to worry about things on my end, suga', you just need to make sure you're able to take care of things with the Resistance in Altman's warehouse.
Mission Objective(s)
Something doesn't seem right. There's no sign of the usual brute force the Resistance uses to break into buildings. The break in seems much too... refined.
- Stop the raid on Altman's warehouse
- Deal with Grossman
- Defeat Officer Pell
You broke up a Syndicate gathering. Return to Cleopatra.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Grossman (Syndicate Suit)
- Officer Pell (Praetorian Police Department Investigator)
Tell Cleopatra about the bomb plot
Mission Objective(s)
- Tell Cleopatra about the bomb plot
Hey there suga', what happened? I sent some boys of mine to the ball, but they said Pell wasn't there.
Pell's with the PPD now. He was working for the Syndicaye, not Resistance.
You explain to Cleopatra the events that happened within the warehouse.
You're a better person than me, suga', I woulda ripped Pell's head off then and there. But I guess that's what makes us different. Regardless, we got ourselves a little job to do - savin' that hospital.
Let's get to work.
Debriefing
We got ourselves tons of trouble, suga', and it ain't gonna get any better.
You sit yourself tight right there, I'm gonna see if I can't find out where exactly those members of the Resistance took our little bombs.
Part Three: Five Minutes to Detonation
Stop the Resistance Bombing Plot
Suga', things are goin' from bad to worse. We got word that the Syndicate already delivered all them bombs to those Crusader boys in the Resistance.
Now, I got myself a little idea of where they could be in the tunnels, but I ain't givin' you a guarantee that you'll find somethin' down there, suga'. You're gonna have to go down there and destroy any sorta thing that looks like they might be usin' for bombs.
Also I got word that the gal leadin' the charge goes by the name of Poster Gal. We catch her, we can put a stop to this bombin' plot before it gets started.
Thanks for the information. I'll make sure to stop this here and now.
I know you will, suga'. We're gonna make sure that Cole's little hospital won't be getting blown up by those lunatics. I'm one for free speech and all, but blowin' up a hospital just to prove a point? I don't wanna live in a world where those kinds of people are considered the 'good guys'.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You take care of things on your end, suga', and I'll handle anything that comes up here.
Mission Objective(s)
The Resistance have their main supplies somewhere in these tunnels - it's up to you to make sure they don't get to use them.
- Stop the Resistance Bombing Plot
- 3 Supplies to destroy
- Defeat Poster Gal
You stopped this group of Resistance, only to discover that another group have already planted bombs throughout Nova! You need to stop them!

Find an alternate way into Cole Memorial Hospital
What's that?
Bombs in the hospital?! What do they think they're doing? Suga', you gotta be the one to get in there and take care of this! I'll make sure the situation doesn't get outta hand out here.
Members of the Resistance working undercover for Calvin Scott should inform him of what is happening - before going inside the hospital.
I'm on it. (Start Mission)
Mission Objective(s)
You walked by several hallways, filled with patients. You had to act as if nothing at all was wrong. If the Resistance knew you were here too soon, it would cost everyone in this place their lives. Time to ensure that the good people of Praetoria remain safe and sound.
- Find an alternate way into Cole Memorial Hospital
- 3 bombs to disarm
- Clear out the Resistance and Syndicate
The bomb plot has been stopped, the people of the hospital saved - for now.

Debriefing
You did good today, Character. You went and saved all those people in the hospital from certain death. Those Crusader types, they're totally out of their minds.
You mentioned that a CEO was there, right? I'm gonna be makin' sure that is taken care of. I think we all are underestimatin' the power of the Syndicate, especially if they supposedly have members in high places like this.
Your work isn't over though, Character. Chief Interrogator Washington contacted me while you were in the hospital. Looks like he's got himself a lead on where the Resistance is storin' all this information of theirs. You up for one last hurrah?
I gotta say, I'm impressed, Character. At first I didn't think you were cut out to do the work the PPD does everyday. Instead, you've shown that you're worth ten of them rolled into one!
No Man's Lady
Souvenir
Cleopatra's Plea
During some downtime, you remember Cleopatra's plea to you, 'You know me! I helped you save the hospital!', when you and Washington confronted Cleopatra about her treason. It reminds you of an experience you call...
No Man's Lady
Cleopatra asked you to investigate a Resistance weapons cache after you and her saved Cole Memorial Hospital. You were expecting a fight, of course, but learned that this was all a trap set up by Cleopatra herself! Interrogator Washington sent in Sergeant Faulks in an attempt to ensure you were not overwhelmed by the Resistance.
Afterwards you spoke with Washington, who informed you about Cleopatra's treason and that she was a member of the Resistance. She was out to kill you because you were the one piece of physical evidence that proved her guilt.
You and Washington confronted Cleopatra in her office, and it was there that you had to make a decision. Did you save Cleopatra's life at the expense of Washington's, or did you help Washington carry out his execution of Cleopatra?
Finale: You Know Me
Raid the Resistance Base
Here's the deal, suga'. I just finished talkin' with Chief Interrogator Washington, and he told me that he and his boys found out where the Resistance are keepin' one of their main supplies in the tunnels.
He asked for me to see if you could go in there and retrieve it. He said he'd do it himself, but he and his boys are tryin' to locate a woman named Ricochet for somethin' she went and did.
Shouldn't be too difficult for someone like you, right? He said the place has been abandoned, so it should just be a simple deal of takin' their supplies.
This arc is a SINGLE PLAYER MORAL CHOICE story arc. You will not be able to have other people on your team assist you with this story arc.
You'd be surprised how quickly 'simple' turns to 'complicated'
Hah! I'm sure I would, suga'. I wouldn't worry too much about it, Washington is a good hound. He knows trouble when he sees it - believe me.
Here's the location of where this little box should be, just make sure to watch your back.
Unnecessary Solicitation
What's wrong, Character? Need that location again?
Mission Objective(s)
The halls seem to be silent, but you're prepared for the worst.
- Raid the Resistance Base (Single Player)
- Find Resistance weapons cache
- Fend off incoming Resistance!
You survived the Resistance trap - did Cleopatra really set you up?
Enemies
Ambush! After checking the weapons cache, you will be ambushed by five waves of Resistance.
Hello?! Hello! Character! This is Chief Interrogator Washington!
Cleopatra set you up - I'm fighting off some of the Resistance going after you, but I couldn't get them all!
I'm doing everything I can here to help, you need to take down the Resistance, then meet me up in Nova!
Meet with Chief Interrogator Washington
Mission Objective(s)
- Meet with Chief Interrogator Washington (Single Player)
Character, good to see you made it out of that fire fight alive. I was hoping Faulks would get there in time.
What's going on Washington? What do you know?
I'll tell you in one moment, Character. I just need to know one thing.
Were you the one who set those bugs up in the PPD Precinct?
I was, now answer my question.
Washington smiles, letting out a relieved sigh.
I knew it. This was the final piece of the puzzle, Character. You were set up by Cleopatra.
Cleopatra is a Resistance spy, a member of the Wardens.
She wanted you dead because you knew the answer to the question I just asked you.
How do the bugs prove that she's a spy?
Sergeant Chance, one of the men you bugged, was killed earlier. He was sent to investigate a Resistance weapons cache and was killed. The same cache you were sent to investigate.
There was no way for them to know about it...until we discovered a bug in his desk. I asked Cleopatra about the bug - she claimed to not know about it, but I knew, I knew she was investigating something previously in that precinct. When I asked her where you went, she said to attack a warehouse the Resistance was holed up in.
My men reported back that it was empty - that was when I knew that Cleopatra was trying to kill you off, just like Chance.
You're the one person that can prove Cleopatra's guilt, Character! No one but you has the proof that she was the one who set up the bugs, which places her directly to blame for how the Resistance picked up the information on those bugs.
And now what, Washington?
Now, we prepare ourselves. Talk to me when you're ready, Character.
We're going to put an end to Cleopatra's treason.
Got it.
Accompany Washington to Cleopatra's office
Mission Objective(s)
You can hear Cleopatra yelling at Washington. It seems things have already begun.
- Accompany Washington to Cleopatra's office (Single Player)
You've handled the situation - now to speak with Praetor White.
So then, are you ready to confront the woman who tried to orchestrate your death, Character?
Those members of the Resistance working undercover for Calvin Scott should inform him of what is happening - before going to confront Cleopatra.
I'm ready, let's go.
Chief Interrogator Washington:
- ...and now it ends, Cleopatra. I knew you would slip sooner or later.
Cleopatra:
- You better get that finger outta my face before I break it in half!
- ...? Character?
Chief Interrogator Washington:
- Character, good to see you made it.
- Shocked to see Character, Cleopatra? Since you tried to send him to his death?
Cleopatra:
- I did nothing of the sort!
- Character was cleaning out a Resistance base for me, weren't you, suga'?
Chief Interrogator Washington:
- That base has been abandoned for weeks. It was abandoned before the first PPD clean up team was sent there.
- Under your orders, might I add. Make it easy on yourself and admit you're a resistance spy!
Cleopatra:
- Michael is gonna tear your head off and put it on a spike, Washington!
Chief Interrogator Washington:
- Praetor White won't help you now. Nobody but Character knows about this investigation.
- And something tells me Character isn't in the mood to let you get away with this.
Cleopatra:
- Character, stop Washington!
- You KNOW me, I helped you save the hospital!
Chief Interrogator Washington:
- I know Praetor White will only release you if you're arrested.
- Which is why we're carrying out your sentence here and now. Character and I are going to end this treason!
Cleopatra:
- Character don't you dare do this!
Moral Choice
Players are presented with a moral choice: to aid the Resistance or aid the Loyalists.
- Save Cleopatra. Kill Washington to save Cleopatra. Aid the Resistance. Interrogator Washington won't stop until Cleopatra is dead. But is Cleopatra truly in the wrong? She is part of the Wardens, the group who is trying to remove Cole from power without harming any innocents. Helping Cleopatra will help show the Resistance that not all Loyalists are evil. But saving her life means Washington cannot be left alive! (As the story of Praetoria unfolds your character will have opportunities to change their mind and switch sides.)
- Kill Cleopatra. Help Washington carry out his sentence. Aid the Loyalists. Cleopatra has infiltrated the heart of the Loyalist and tried to kill you for having the key to her secret. She knows too much about the inner workings of Praetoria to be left alive. She may be trying to help the city, but she backstabbed you and sent you to your death. Cleopatra just goes to show that you can't trust any members of the Resistance - Warden or Crusader! (As the story of Praetoria unfolds your character will have opportunities to change their mind and switch sides.)
Aid the Resistance
+++ Missing Information +++
Aid the Loyalists
Mission Objective(s)
- Kill Cleopatra
- Talk to Chief Interrogator Washington
It isn't easy serving Praetoria, Character.
We all thought Cleopatra was one of us. I didn't want to believe it when my evidence began to point towards her.
We did the right thing. If we arrested her, we would have to deal with Praetor White. He would have shattered the peace that we're trying to hard to keep in Nova just to prove her 'innocence'.
Her death was the only way to keep the people of Praetoria safe. You understand, I'm sure.
All that is left is cleaning up some loose ends.
What else is hanging?
Dealing with Praetor White.
Someone is going to have to speak with him regarding what happened today.
I believe that someone should be you, Character.
Tell him what happened here - but tell him that I killed Cleopatra. If you tell him you had any role in harming her, he will strike you down where you stand. I don't want to see that happen, not to you.
He will be angry, but you must remind him that he serves Praetoria now, not his own selfish ambitions.
Do we have an agreement on this?
I'll speak with Praetor White.
Excellent. Good luck speaking with him, Character.
Thanks, Washington.
Mission Objective(s)
- Speak with Praetor White (Single Player)
Eh? What do you want, Character?
Your girlfriend, Cleopatra. She was a member of the Resistance.
What?! This ain't funny, Character, you got two seconds to explain yourself! What's going on here?!
(Explain Washington's investigation and execution)
